No Sarcasm, Just Logic.
While pointing at his knee, my sensei carefully demonstrated a neatly chambered and recoiled front kick for a weyr of awed Little Dragons. He then asked them what was really important in order to do the kick correctly.
Their hands shot into the air; bellies thrust out and excitement blazing. The boy called upon to answer, proudly shouted his knowledge for the rest of the class, who nodded in sage agreement, "YOU HAVE TO HAVE LEGS!"
It's All About Your Goals.
As a Dragon left the school I gave him a high five for his hard work; as he passed by to the front door another sensei congratulated him on his focus. His mom, trailing behind while juggling keys, a wallet and his dragon belt, looked up and said, "You did good but I want to see you snap more when you punch." He responded happily and loudly enough for the whole dojo, "Yeah, but it was a great class Mom, I didn't get ANY wedgies!"
The Unfortunate Thing About Dojo Mirrors.
It's always a male Little Dragon with only brothers at home: why shut the rest room door?
