I can't wait to show Morpheus

Yo,

So, I'm not a violent person. Sure, I've hunted deer before, but the kill isn't really the thrill for me. Sure, I was also on the high school football team, but I couldn't play defense because I was too nice. Truth be told, this Jalapeño bagel I'm eating right now is a bit too aggressive for my tastes.

And yet, I'm being taught a martial art that puts emphasis on kicking people in the balls, and demonstrating forms named things like "Sword of Destruction". If I wasn't such a pansy, I may find this the greatest thing ever, just for the humor factor.

It's called Kenpo and its being taught to me by a friend of mine, a philosophy/psychology major named Ben.

I know what you're thinking, but think about it. If I had been Jedi mind-tricked, would I ever know?

If Alec Guniess ever kicked Darth Vader in the Balls, I bet he'd hurt his big toe.

Ben would tell his cinematic self that kicks in kenpo are delivered with the ball of the foot not the toe.

Alec would reply that yes, he knows, but hurting his big toe is much funnier.

Then D. Vader would kick at Alec and it would be all over.

I can't wait for Ben to teach me how to turn my opponent into a pile of laundry!

To kenpo's credit, it's not ALL about nut shots. For example last Wednesday, Ben was quoted as saying. "and if he's that much bigger than you, kick him in the nuts and run away!"

So if on a random weekday evening you happen to come across me in the Arb jumping around in funny looking clothes with a gangly young Jedi barking orders my way, you now know what's up. join us! It's great exercise, helps connect your mind/body and puts your metaclorian count through the roof!

da.
