the Way of the Yielding Fury teaches its monks that true mastery of martial arts lies not only in honing your own body to perfection but also in harnessing your opponent's force to empower your own. These monks view combat as the battle of wills in which the only way to succeed is to use their opponent's strength against them. These monks are unshakeable, intercepting powerful strikes with such skillful technique that they can not only shrug off some of the blow's force, but use it to enter a state of absolute focus in which they are forces to be reckoned with. Monks of the Yielding Fury also apply this philosophy to their lives: they are calm and patient, willing to let others act first so they can be sure to choose the correct course of action.
