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!"
