Depends on the specific "they." Technically combat skills in Talents are discouraged but not forbidden. The Power-Ups devoted to Talents recommended allowing them only for a few skills in a Talent which strikes me as a little odd - a 15 point Talent for all weapon skills seems less of a point crock than a 5 point Talent covering multiple weapons.
That said, a while back I suggested using Talents to cover overall proficiency in a martial art (or multiple martial arts) and it met with a fair amount of approval including from at least one GURPS professional. So combat skills in Talents are risque but technically legal.
