Shi Dhuk as practiced in the Shen Tradition is a structured discipline which has pupils proceed through a simple hierarchy of shufa, no matter what school the student studies with. However, one of the schools within the tradition - the Dha Dhuk school - begins not with posture exercises as in popular Shen Tradition Shi Dhuk, but rather with structured meditations called 'ghifa' covering a range of traditional Shen values. Although there are foreign aficionados of Shen culture who study in the Dha Dhuk school, it is almost entirely the province of the Shen. | Shi Dhuk as practiced in the Shen Tradition is a structured discipline which has pupils proceed through a simple hierarchy of shufa, no matter what school the student studies with.

This branch of Shi Dhuk emphasizes mastery of mind and body to strengthen both and improve the fighting performance of its practitioners, who are mostly made-up of current and ex-military forces of the Corran. It is legendarily punishing, both physically and mentally. It's exclusively taught on Otra IV, and would-be rogue instructors are typically hunted down and destroyed. | This branch of Shi Dhuk emphasizes mastery of mind and body to strengthen both and improve the fighting performance of its practitioners, who are mostly made-up of current and ex-military forces of the Corran.
