The Warrior Path
The body is the instrument. The instrument must be forged before it can play.
The operational record of physical discipline — martial arts, strength, conditioning, and the fabrication of practice tools. Parallel system to the Laboratory: where the Lab refines consciousness, the Warrior Path refines the vessel.
