This applies mainly to the specialized melee fighters but I think it could be worked into the brawler profession, too. The examples I give are based around the TKA tree because that is what I have experience with. I think this idea is very feasible and would not unduly balance the game.
Maybe melee classes as, they progress, can get HAM or susbstat bonuses. Bonuses to substats would probably work better. Imagine if you would gaining in between 50-150 strength for every power technique skill box, the same bonuses to focus for meditation, and again with quickness for balance conditioning. I think this would be a great representation of progressing as a martial artist in that maneuvers would become easier to use (less expensive) as you master the techniques. This way we would not have necessarily higher HAM, but our special attacks would be more useful as we progress.
The HAM bonuses would be a lot harder to get past all the ranged users, I think. HAM bonuses would be very justifiable in that as martial artists we work out physically and thus would be in better shape than ranged users would. Since we're meant to be the tanks (people who take the most damage for the good of the group) I think we should get some extra health, action, and maybe even mind...though mind is harder to justify based on working out physically. Mind could be justified by the fact that martial artists require mental discipline to become proficient in their arts.
Anyway, just a quick idea I was wanting to get out there and test for support. I'm posting this on all the melee profession boards and going to provide a link to this thread as the main one. Please, let me know what you all think.

I think you should only be able to get those ham bonusses in elite melee professions, cose otherwise every marksman

sry, mistype.
..cose otherwise every marksman will pick up some brawler skills. Also, the ham gains should be rather low, cose if you want to go really brawler, you should go wookie, who already has great stat bonusses.

I agree, they should probably be in the elite melee professions only since they represent a level of achievement in an art.
