Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.

True warriors are fierce because their training is fierce.

Speed is not part of the true Way of strategy. Speed implies that things seem fast or slow, according to whether or not they are in rhythm. Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast.
