I need a ruling. In the shadow run companion book pg 90 under maneuvers there is a contradiction. Paragraph three states that before a martial art skill can be advanced to an even number you have to purchase and learn a maneuver.
However the example in paragraph four states that if at character creation you purchase a martial arts at skill level 4 that you have to purchase at least one maneuver / max two.
To me that's contradictory to the previous paragraph as you are at an even skill level so you should be forced to buy a second maneuver before you can purchase level 4.
I just wanted to get your opinion as i will have a starting martial arts at 6 and thus need to know if i have to buy three maneuvers or if i only have to buy two but can not advance the skill until i buy another maneuver

You need 2 maneuvers to get rank 5, unless it’s Brawl. You’re only allowed to get the second maneuver at rank 4.
