I /sign this /unsigned for the exact same reasons.
Its basically a mix of MA and Katana, so it wouldnt really be possible as it isnt a new powerset
another sword, well, the only sword I think should be allowed in now is a claymore, or we would end up with City of Martial Artists.

Claymores are basically two-handers, which is basically what Broadsword is meant for.
OTOH, if we state that we aren't going to have more martial arts styles or bladed weapons we are basically saying "no more Scrapper primaries."

not all scrapper primaries are going to be martial arts, we could have electrical melee, which isnt martial arts at all, and I didnt say no more martial arts styles or bladed weapons, I said we have enough swords and I didnt say anything about not having other martial arts, I want other martial arts like Kempo or Tai quan do.

Oh please... Every punching set can be translated into some kind of martial art.
Even Electric Melee.
All you need is the mind of a RPer... Or some power gloves.
And a back alley... apparently. Oh, and innuendo-ish named enhancements.

i can't be more wrong.....
Any style of fighting with any type of weapon is a martial art.
The game already has 3 sets dedicated to sticking sharp pointy things into people. That's quite enough.
I really should do something about this signature.

If you make a statement "i can't be more wrong.....", then that statment must be wrong, which means you could be more wrong...

Which, given the context of the poster's reply, means what exactly? I understood what it meant if isolated, but given the context I was puzzled.

It's probably some kind of Zen...

Actually, your original statement was correct.
Martial Art
Martial art could be translated to; Art of war, or Art of the warrior. So essentailly if it's fighting, it's martial arts
Wikki entry for Martial
Well, you could argue that improvised style, like Street fighting, wasn't an art.

True if you're untrained your fighting would probobly not be considered an art, but there are those who pratice "street fighting" techniques
Bas Rutten's Street Fighting
martial art is knowing how to fight and using that what you learn at your advantage.
you can't call just any jimbo who fights a martial artist, only if you know how to.

Well I already knew that...
If you think inside the box too much you simply can't see the possibilites of life itself.
Translation...
The reason I said that Electric Melee can be seen as a martial arts set is because it uses punches. Martial arts is usually what? Cooking skills? Fishing kung fu powers?
No... Art of war, combat, fighting blablabla... BLABLA! And the most generic answer is *insert martial art form here* that includes both kicking and punching.(and throws)
Martial Artists are seen PUNCHING(remember this word) their foes...
Now what could this mean... Perhaps that as a martial artist that mastered *insert martial art form here* also have some power gloves that emits electricity, mutant with electric abilites, magical charms... Get the hint?
Think inside the box and see absolutely nothing since its dark.
Think outside the box and see clearer.
Any questions students?
*edit* +1 *edit*
Will also add this.
Ever read the manga GUNNM/Last Order? No?
Well it has so many martial art forms that it would make you blush at the obvious orgy.
Some are electromagnetic.
It got Tesla Style Karate(*cough*), Riderman Karate, Ahat Mastade, Robo Karate, Square Karate, Body Tune Karate, Panzer Kunst... Should I go on?
It's set in the future so it thinks outside the box.
Hmmm, Machine-Klatsch (sp?) from Battle Angel Alita could be interesting (especially if you got the spinny arms too) 
I dont know if this has been suggested before, but I'd like to see a more martial arts stlye of sword usage.
Here's a few videos so you know what I'm going on about.

Man plays in street
Dude in dingy dojo
Throw a few more kicks than shown here but you get the idea.
