This has probably been asked before Or could possibly even be in the source books, but what does arsenal's mean when it says you can take a martial art twice to receive double the dice bonus on its advantages. For example:

Boxing (Musti Yudha, Rince an Bhata Uisce Bheatha)

Advantages: +1 DV on Unarmed Combat attacks (may be
taken twice, for a cumulative +2 DV), +1 on Defense Tests against
unarmed attacks (may be taken twice for a cumulative +2 dice).

For each 5 BP you can get one Advantage and two Maneouvers.

Bonuses from Advantages stack.

Yep! You can take a martial art as many times as you have positive qualities. You can take Boxing 4 times for 20 BP, if you want(40 Karma), for +2 DV, and +2 defending against unarmed attacks.

You can take multiple styles, as well, and stack benefits, up to a limit(one could take Kickboxing for +2 DV, and Kung Fu for +1 DV for a total of +3, but the benefits cannot stack over +3. Well, for DV anyway-the others might be different.)

The more times you take a martial art(or the more styles you take), you can get 2 Maneuvers per style/level. So it's a good thing to sometimes take more than one. (My current character, for example, has 2 levels of Muay Thai/Savate, 1 of Tae Kwan Do and 1 of Carromeleg.)

Correction. For each level of Martial Arts you take (5 BP each), you gain one Advantage from the selected style. You may learn up to two Maneuvers for each level of Martial Arts you possess, at the cost of 2 BP, or 4 Karma, each.
