Think of Gart as a cross between a Ninja or an Hashishin.
Dedicated to his art, focussed, fanatical and well trained by those who know both mind and body.
The Ninja were taught mind strategies as well as body arts.
Consider that the higher in their circles on became the more mind games they played. Some were so adept that they ran more than one Ryu (school/ system) and kept the different Ryu at war with one another and even organised assassination attempts on themselves.
Hassan Bin Sabbah the Old Man of the Mountain who controlled the Hashishin played serious mind games with his private army of assassins.
In both cases the moral is that the master strategist can control the most powerful adpet of physical arts.
