It only makes sense; suit or not, he now fights on a regular basis. If you fight, you would want to train. Knowing martial arts moves also helps when he is in the armour.

We aren't told this in the film though. Or the previous films. That's my point. The only hint we get is that he has a martial arts stand. That doesn't mean anything. Expecting the audience to already know what Tony is combat proficient and can infiltrate a facility while taking out armed guards using martial arts and dodging folks left and right Jackie Chan style is just lazy to me and serves as just a means to get from point A to B. He makes it seem like anyone could walk in and be a badass. All you need is a martial arts prop in your studio! I'm going to watch the film again in the near future to see if my opinion has changed, but right now that is one of the major problems with this film for me.
