Jsk Way of the Eight Gates

The First and Second Gate
The Inner Eight Gates exist in order to limit the flow of ki within an individual's body. Ordinarily, individuals can use no more than a fraction of their body's full potential, which is the brain's way of protecting the individual from harming their body through overexertion. With training, individuals can learn to remove these natural limitations, referred to as "opening the gates". With each opened gate, individuals are given access to more and more of their body's ki, thus increasing their power.

At 3rd level, you learn how to open the first two of the Inner Eight Gates. When you take the Dodge action, you can also choose to open an inner gate, immediately gaining the benefits and drawbacks. An inner gate can only remain open for 1 minute, and once the effect ends you gain one level of exhaustion. Opening a greater gate while a lesser gate is open does not reset the duration of your open gate to 1 minute, but you keep all the benefits and drawbacks of a lesser gate when you open a greater one.
