An Invitation

Posted by Andrew on 8/29/2001, 2:11 pm

Dear A PUNK,
What's the point? That I have no fighting experience? That's true. That it takes guts to engage when your being beaten to a bloody pulp? That's true. That I'm taking it slow to learn? That's true. That the only "deadly" technique I know is to jump on someone's neck while they are on the ground? That's true. I have never mis-represented myself concerning my abilities or the lack thereof. My strategy, if possible and unavoidlable, is to strike and run away. If I ever had to fight it would have to be unavoidable. Granted, preparation is key but I take it slow. I am a slow learner anyway. But my Sifu has screamed it into my brain that the classroom is not fighting reality. It is just preparation for it. Do I have to be beaten into a bloody pulp to understand this? No. Do I have to learn that after 2-3 swings in a real fight that I'll be already winded? No. I realize these things. I understand these realities. I need not be in war to understand what war is. I only need to train and speak with veterans of war. The smart person avoids war/fighting. I have a veteran in fighting teaching me what is real. This is all I need.
But enough of that. I truly enjoy your comments. I am formally inviting you to the school so that we may talk and train. I have my Sifu's permission to invite you. Please come and train with us. I know I will learn from you.
See ya!
