Anyone calling himself a "master" should be able to fight a bunch of mere students, and anyone actually believing himself a master will only benefit by being proven horribly wrong in a brutal yet nonlethal fashion. i.e., being beaten. And the more miserable he feels right now, the deeper the lesson will sink in.

Actually, they trained for that by doing exercises like the horse stance (it's basically a squat, except you spread your legs as far apart as you can while still being able to bend them at a 45 degree angle, and you have to hold it for an extremely long time) for hours at a time to develop lower body strength and cardio. Most armies back then were expected to fight for days AND spend the whole day just marching towards their destination, no breaks, so it took more than just fighting all the time to develop that kind of endurance. And I never doubted that it was something he probably needed, I'm just saying, it's a really painful process. I never doubted he deserved the punishment, I just didn't know it was intended as a punishment at first, so much as it was intended as something to humble him.

Heh, that takes me back. And those horse stance sessions often came after my long distance running for track...

Even when fresh, a proper horse stance isn't easy to maintain for any length of time..

Oh, it's not like "Here is a boy. Punish him." is that hard to guess.

That's what I thought but then I noticed the leg going over his shoulder and got kinda confused as I tried to visualize how the rest of her body was positioned, I think I got it now

"This boy is arrogant and stupid. Teach him some humility, have him face your students and see how he does."

Hope to see new pages soon. My PC was down again and it's been awhile since I've seen new HIKYM comics. The last page with old man Wong is very realistic. Also it's nice to read more dialogue.

Matt's gotta get off his lazy ass and finish up a project for me first.

Aaaaand I gotta get off my lazy ass and write more pages for him to draw.

MSperoni · 04-27-2010, 10:04 AM

Too many asses are lazy around here. That or there are too many lazy asses. Or both. Or all three.

Well all ya'all get off your lazy asses.

I'm tired of a completely stagnant front page.
