"Although there is a common general outline, the mental techniques for each level are different. For example, in the Body Realm, the mental techniques require learning various combat weapons, such as swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks; learning horsemanship; learning to drive chariots; learning archery; climbing; swimming; and jumping..."
