ok so if anybody's got any hints for dealing with this glitch crap I'd be happy to hear it. I'm no stranger to waking up to extra bumps and bruises but usually it's because I did something stupid, not from randomly losing track of my legs because somebody's got a sick sense of humor.

Also I'm teaching karate now. Since somebody's already asked, classes are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, at 7 am and 4 pm. I'm gonna group it by ability so if you sign up let me know where you're at skill-wise, but feel free to show up at one of those times and we'll go from there.

hey you want to give me a hand with the karate stuff?

If I get my powers back, do you mind if I join the 7 AM class? I promise that I'll hold back.

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[fangedredemption]

yeah, sure. Works for me. You a beginner or do you know what you're doing?

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[hibana_incursa]

I know what I'm doing. I have a few years experience.

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[fangedredemption]

cool. Good to know.
Yeah as long as you don't use your spider powers when they come back it'll be fine.

Could make for a cool training exercise sometime though

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[hibana_incursa]

I promise.

Maybe. Possibly. I don't know yet.

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[fangedredemption]

Yeah, I mean only if you're comfortable with it, and only after I know exactly what you can do. No pressure.

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[hibana_incursa]

Thank you for that. I appreciate it.

If I get my powers back, I'll show you. Sound good?

Re: un: gwennnnn - private to johnny and hawk

[fangedredemption]

definitely

[flippedscript]

Yes Sensei!

[fangedredemption]

Great! You think you can handle the beginners?

[flippedscript]

Yes Sensei!

I’ve been training some with Sam to learn a little bit of that… Miyagi style stuff

[fangedredemption]

Yeah? Maybe you can show me sometime. I mean, it's absolutely pussy shit, but never hurts to learn new stuff to better anticipate your opponent.

[flippedscript]

Some of it’s not useless and I figured switching styles could throw someone off in the tournament

Sensei can I ask you something? It’s about karate, I promise

[fangedredemption]

You've got a point there.

With a setup like that it sounds like it's not but sure, go for it.

[flippedscript]

Wasn’t that crane kick thing Sensei Larusso used on you an illegal move?

I’m pretty sure the rules were you couldn’t strike the head, right?!

[fangedredemption]

Yeah. Yeah it was illegal, you're right.

Don't ask me why they let it go, I couldn't tell you other than that Cobra Kai had already had somebody disqualified for an illegal hit

[flippedscript]

Okay because that seemed like total bullshit if you knew that you could punch in the face and get away with it you totally would have won that fight

[fangedredemption]

Yeah.

I mean I could have won easy anyway, his knee was busted

[flippedscript]

Sensei…

I’m sorry I abandoned you. I was a total loser until I met you and I should have trusted you knew best.

[fangedredemption]

don't worry about it. I get it. Kreese seems pretty badass when you first meet him, you don't figure out who he really is until you're in too deep.

You walked away, that takes some pretty big stones

[shadowsummoner]

Do you give private lessons?

Re: text | un: konundrum

[fangedredemption]

I guess there's no reason I couldn't but usually the idea is in a whole class

[shadowsummoner]

I'm not used to holding back. I'd be afraid of hurting someone.

[fangedredemption]

Gotcha. If it'll make you feel better we can do one on one lessons sure

[shadowsummoner]

Wonderful. When can we start?

[fangedredemption]

Tuesday. 8 am.

Would there be classes available in something more meditative?
Tai chi, perhaps.

Re: text; un: littlealbatross

[fangedredemption]

uh. if you can find somebody who can teach you that sure. not really my thing, I'm more the purge my demons out with my fists kinda guy

[soulmakingsound]

Ah.
I've already had too much of that sort of thing.
I was looking for something grounding.

[fangedredemption]

yeah I'm not really the guy for that unfortunately
if you talk to Sam LaRusso though, she might be able to help you out? she's not really a teacher but she's got a better idea of helping you with what you're looking for than I do

[soulmakingsound]

What about karate draws you?
Does it bring you peace?

[fangedredemption]

dunno. something to do. something I'm good at
I like teaching kids they don't have to put up with bullies

[soulmakingsound]

Wise and valuable lessons
Some people are better reasoned with via violence, I suppose

[fangedredemption]

nah I'm just better with my fists than with words
