Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The Wudan teaches their pupils rules. Rules such as friendship, trust, humility, and loyalty. I think these rules are necessary to be a successful warrior. Warriors are unlike other people; they have a special talent and women don't have to be married. Warrior women can roam free which is frowned upon by common women whose biggest accomplishment in life is marriage. So, I can see where friendship is an important aspect of being a warrior. They must join together and respect one another since they are different. Trust is also big. A pupil must trust their master to train them well and correctly. A master must trust their pupil to be obedient and learn. A warrior must trust themselves and their ability to carry out their duty. At the same time, a warrior must be humble. They can not be arrogant or impulsive. They have to respect other warriors with exceptional ability and the chance they can lose. They have to be humble that others could possibly have better abilities. Humility is important in making level-headed decisions in fights. Loyalty is another important value. Pupils must be loyal to their masters. Pupils must be loyal to the Wudan. They have to be able to keep the wudan's secrets and stay loyal to their purpose. I believe these values are what makes the warriors so effortless if they master these values.
