One, with the exceptions of Ninjitsu and Thai Kick Boxing.
In other words if I'm an OCC Dedicated Martial Artist and get to select two forms is that one primary and one secondary OR one exclusive? or is it One primary and one secondary regardless of if they're exclusive or not?
DMAs in the revised edition get to select one exclusive style or two non-exclusive styles.
Why is it a Worldly Martial Artist can't select an exclusive form if they're training in the same monastery that the dedicated one is? What if they're both at ninjitsu school or whatever?
Supposedly, the revised edition nerfed both martial arts classes because "the martial arts were too powerful."

No.
If you wanted to you could go by the old rules allowing for more capable and interesting martial artists.
There's also modified rules in the N&S errata.
I believe Ninjuitsu is a special exception where it is considered an exclusive two style art but worldly martial artists can take it anyway.
Actually, by the official rules, the only things that can learn Ninjitsu in the revised edition are the DMA and WMA NPCs in the quick roll table.
