Words could not do justice in describing the intensity with which Atticus trained over the following week.
Previously, he had allowed himself to have breaks in order to rest and regain his strength; however, this time, he went all out. The breaks he took were so brief they could hardly be considered breaks at all.
What made this relentless schedule feasible was that most of his training was done while seated. Atticus couldn't count the number of times he entered a state of absolute focus.
It couldn't be helped. Depending on the art, some learning processes required minimal movement. Given the supportive nature of each technique in the art, he ended up remaining in place for extended periods of time. In this case, it had actually been a blessing.
Despite this, Atticus still hadn't been able to learn all the techniques. It wasn't impossible; it was simply that each technique was incredibly difficult and took time to master.
