Sims can train at the ''[[Phoenix Academy]] of Martial Arts'' in [[Shang Simla]]. However, Sims may purchase a [[Sheng Hai Training Dummy|training dummy]], [[Board Breaker]], and books to train at home. Sims get different color belts at different levels, just as real martial athletes do. And apparently Sims are using The Black Tiger-Kung Fu (or in this case Sim Fu) style.

At Level 5, Sims may also Meditate to increase the Martial Arts Skill as well. Long periods of meditation will cause a "''Meditative Focus''" moodlet to appear. The positive moodlet increases in duration as the Sim continues to mediate and decreases while not meditating, maxing out at just over 4 hours of focus for around 2.5 hours of meditation; the Sim receives no further focus for continued meditation. At this point the Sim will glow with a green aura, levitate, and may choose to "''Zeneport''" to any location on the map, which will remove the focus moodlet and end the meditation. Receiving the ''Master of Meditation'' (MOM) achievement will also allow the Sim to teleport via ''"Tranquil Transference"'', which can be used at any time the Sim has more than 30 minutes of focus remaining, at the expense of 30 minutes of focus (i.e. 2 hours of focus allows 4 Transferences if no time is wasted between teleports.) Because Zeneport removes the focus moodlet, it is not possible to use Zeneport and then Tranquil Transference immediately after. Masters at meditating can summon natural elements to help them in their battles. Sims who have mastered the martial arts skill can teach other Sims as well.

Because Zeneport removes the focus moodlet, it is not possible to use Zeneport and then Tranquil Transference immediately after. At level 8, sims will start to focus their chi into their attacks when sparring and perform some rigorous techniques like jumping kicks or throwing a powerful force kick while airborne. Sims who have reached level 7 in the martial arts skill can teach other Sims as well.


Once a Sim develops their skill to level 1, they are able to spar with other Sims. By choosing the 'Spar' interaction on another Sim, Sims are able to build up their Martial Arts skill in a friendly training session. After reaching level 4 in the skill, they can enter one of Shang Simla's Martial Arts tournaments. To enter a tournament, pick up the phone and choose 'Challenge Spar Tournament Contender'. Now a rival can be chosen and declare a 'Ranked Sparring Match'. After the match, the Sim may even advance a rank!
