WHY STUDY THE WAY OF TOTAL CONCENTRATION?
Although you won't get to impress anyone with fast flurries of attacks, those few actions you do take
will be incredibly effective. This form can be used with weapons training to good effect, works
resonably well against multiple attackers, provides good internal and mystical training, and teaches
one the value of taking the time to make sure you do something right. You will also learn patience,
self control, and caution.
