Turtle School Master

“Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty. That’s the Turtle Hermit way.” As a student of the famed Turtle School, this mantra was drilled into your head over and over until it became a part of you. Tenacity and survival are ingrained into your fighting style, and you’re capable of taking heaps of punishment.
