I translated all of this info from a Japanese Disgaea wiki, which is very informative. The Martial Artist and Fight Mistress are available from the start, and are one of the players best lines of offense. In case it wasn’t immediately clear to you, the class exist to counter. The only other human-class character with 3 counters is Champloo Sensei. This combined with their healthy HP stat means that a Martial Artist or Fight Mistress will continue to fight hard for you, even when your turn has ended. At the very least they should be trained (to level 30) in order to get the Ninja and Kunoichi jobclasses.

In Disgaea 3, the class can use either a fist, sword (female only), or spear (male only) but I recommend equipping them with a fist and attaching the “snipe mastery skill” for an added damage bonus. At higher ranks when this evility is obsolete then it should be OK to switch to a sword or spear if one desires.

Which sex is better is a difficult question. The Martial Artist is much more aggressive with more counters and overall higher counter damage. The Fight Mistress is more consistent in that she cannot be countered, and her counters never miss with a chance of hitting critically. Ultimately it depends on the player’s tactics. Check back for more info as I am always on the lookout for news on Disgaea 3.
