Martial Art: Meditation of War

Martial Art: Meditation of War

The last style from Oriental Adventures, Meditation of War is a style that incorporates not only unarmed strikes, but also melee weapons and strikes to pressure points. I can imagine this style being used by monks that disable the target with unarmed pressure point strikes, and only if it fails draw their weapons.
