These 36 essentials were the main body of training, but two remained as the most important.  The first was Seishinteki Kyoyo (spiritual refinement of the heart, spirit, and soul), and the seconded is Tai-jutsu (unarmed defense).  With both of these mastered and combined it can produce great power for the student also known as Shin-gi-Tai-Icchi (Heart techniques and body integration).
