Squash your enemies! Lettuce experience victory together! Olive the smell of Kung Fu in the morning!
Who: Jon Talbain and Martial Arts students
What: Martial Arts Class.
Where: The Stadium.
When: Monday Afternoon.
Warnings: Violence, a violent movie clip, terrible wasting of food and even worse puns.
Today's class was in the Stadium. This time, though, students are directed to take a seat and the Stadium's awesome Holotech is used to display a clip from a film.
Students might also notice that there's a whole pile of vegetables arranged by type down on the stadium floor.
"The movie you've just watched, while obviously meticulously choreographed, tells us a few things. First of all, that size, gender and appearance should never be your guides when sizing up an opponent. Because believe me - skill will win out any day of the week when applied correctly. Especially against someone who values their honor so little, they would attack someone with their back turned."
Jon placed his hands behind his own back and walked down to the stadium floor, picking up a pumpkin and spinning it on his claw as though it was a basketball.
"The other thing I wish you to learn, is that should you need a weapon? You will never be short of one if you remember this rule: Almost anything can be a weapon. The food fight in the movie was quite amusing, but if someone hurls a zucchini at you with enough force, it's certainly going to leave a mark. If they hurl it at you with force AND precision, where that mark lands is entirely up to them, and I've a feeling few of you want that.
"We've covered using your environment as a tool. Today, we're going to cover learning how to make tools out of the things you have at hand. Ten minutes of drills, then pair off with a sparring partner of a similar ability level. As is usual, if you can not find a partner, I will pair you with someone. If you still can not find a partner, you will spar with me."
He placed the pumpkin back.
"And before you leave, come and see me for your written assessment. This is 30% of your final assessment grade, which makes up 50% of your grade for the year. I am giving you ample time to complete it and it IS an open book test. Having said that, do not plagiarize, because I will find out and you will be very, very sorry when I catch you. The assignment will be handed in during our last class. I expect a thoughtful, articulate and well considered set of answers from all of you."
Jon why are you mostly looking at Hagakure when you say this. Why is that.
"Begin!"

Eggman's robots, G.U.N. security force drones. He'd busted them all up with his fists one way or another. And he was able to punch his way through boulders and blocks that even Sonic couldn't bust through with his super sonic speed.
"We're here to learn. Not to show off. Wailing on you with everything I got ain't gonna teach either of us anything. It's just gonna get you hurt and me in trouble. Who wants that?"
Re: SPARRING!
What a heel she'd been to accuse him for taking the easy route. Where were her brains when logical thinking needed to be involved! It was a wonder why some people tended to whisper behind her back on being 'not all there'. Well, she certainly wasn't stupid! Just tended to mix up details and cross wires once in awhile. It happened to the best of people. Although this wasn't the first incident at the school she'd misunderstood.
"May I say in addendum that I'm very thankful to you for going gentle on me" she lowered her head in apology, flashing off a small smile in thanks. "No really! Thanks for saving me from a total world of hurt and pain. And that I'm still alive in one piece instead of a ghost haunting the place. Not that being a ghost would suck mind you. I think it would be pretty awesome to float through walls, scare the beejeebers out of people and pr-oops! I digress!" Mona cleared a stray lock of her bangs out of her face before returning to the subject at hand.
"Hey, Knuckles? Thanks for putting up with me as a partner for class, even if we didn't start off on the best of terms" Mona offered her hand to him, a gesture of good sportsmanship. "This session just showed I have a lot of learning to still do!" In a way, Knuckle's ability also made her feel small as an ant in the school, without so much as a cool power to back herself up with. But maybe, just maybe, if she tried her hardest and willed herself to be just as determined with her studies as she was with her numerous jobs, she could make a big scene. Join the ranks and turn the table to prove she had what it takes to be a fighter.

Then he stopped.
"...if I shake your hand, it don't count against me, right?"
He was kidding. Mostly.
