A liberal with a high enough Martial Arts skill is capable of "beating the shit [Tar] out of everyone that comes close" when he/she/xe is doing Liberal Disobedience. When it comes to actual gameplay/infiltration, however, the most a high-Martial Arts Liberal will do is punch a guy in the torso or face hard enough to kill them in one blow. And they only attack one target at a time, meaning they will get slaughtered.

Why?

And if you have a gun (even an empty one) when you get accosted by the mob for liberal disobedience, the entire mob scatters.

I think this mob has a lot less in the way of conviction than do, say, the cops. They could overpower you if they wanted, but aren't that determined.

Even against random gangbangers with only knives most of the time, Liberals still only attack one target at a time and let the gangbangers cut them up. I kinda wish high Martial Arts actually made Liberals as badass as the game makes them during Liberal Disobedience activities.

What you are asking for is an increase in the effectiveness of the Dodge skill.

Your dodge roll reduces the enemy's attack roll, but is only half as effective as attack. This means that an perfect enemy attack will still hit you, even if you made a perfect dodge. Of course, this works in your favor as well (otherwise Agents would be a lot more dangerous!).

Gangbangers rarely have good combat skills, so a liberal martial artist with a very good dodge skill could fight through them without getting hit. Still, you make one attack per round.
