Yes today Young Bardock and I decided to push things with our trainee. Woke him up at 3 in the morning, and made him give us everything he had. And I want to tell you all something, he is a lot strong than even I could have imagined. I can see that very quickly as he gets use to being this way, he will even pass me. I certainly hope that someday in the future I can come back and spar with him again. I do so love a challenge.
At least I am becoming confident that Gokou can fill the gap when it comes to my son. Perhaps with Gokou's help, Young Bardock will improve even more than I can help him. There is something about training with Gokou, that pushes you to even farther greatness. I see it in my son. The more we train with Gokou, the better he gets. But he has gotten far stronger than the last time I trained with him in our time. I am so damn proud of him!
Kia, let me try to ease your mind about all of this. Yes I admit that when Young Bardock and I come back from training we look like a war had broken out and we took care of it, but that is the way it is. You see in the SSJ4 form, pain pushes you to try harder. The more pain, the harder you push. With each blow it is like an adrenalin rush to the brain, giving you this feeling to try harder to overcome. You feel almost invincible. Of course there is a part of your brain that knows the truth. You are merely of flesh and bone, and you can die, which isn't the goal. But I have to admit that the part that tells you these things becomes very small when you train. Improving and making yourself the best is all that matters.
I hope that helps you Kia. I wouldn't worry about Young Bardock. He'll be fine. And look at all the benefits of this training. He has settled down, can focus on school work, and enjoy the family time even more. The beast is being sedated, so now the true good heart of Young Bardock can come out to play. To me, this out weights the few bumps and bruises he gets.
