So, as I'm gettin' my ass handed to me by the Chem test, I shake my head. *sigh* I really did look at this material. And two hours into it, Dr. Pelezo goes: "Take it home. Turn it in on Monday." Talk about divine intervention.

Later on today, Oso calls me about how Mr. Affects (Ray Ashton) says that what I do in martial arts is just dancing around and is only good for sport. OK, fine. But we spar to move, not to fight. Sparring helps you develop a fighting mode. You CANNOT teach a true martial art for the sake of combat WITHOUT sparring or PRACTICING on a living person. Forms get you largely nowhere in terms of combat sense, and I believe, Mr Ashton, that you have a rather rude awakening for you and your little business. Your poor disciples are going to be left, again, without direction, as I will be challenging the students of your school before the end of this year.
