Way of the Brute

It's a stretch to call the Way of the Brute a traditional monastic practice, or to even call those who follow this practice proper monks. Those who follow the Way of the Brute are self taught brawlers, whether they be irreverent drunkards, or disciples tossed out of the monasteries for their violent tendencies.

Regardless, through dumb luck or a surprising amount of practice, monks who follow the Way of the Brute are able to keep up with monks of proper disciplines, and should not be underestimated despite their independent self learning.
