David asked me a favor today, to remind him about his martial arts training because he's been slipping lately due to both of our tricking and gymnastics divergence and needs a good kick in the ass to keep him motivated. Man...times like these makes me love being a teacher of the martial arts. There can be no better student than that man. We both learn through each other. Though I excel over him in combat, he outdos me in courage. I teach him martial arts and he teaches me gymnastics. Upon combining the two, we have the hybrid sport of tricking and acrobatics. Each specializing in our own strength, he focuses on flip tricks while I on kick tricks. We complement each other perfectly. His strong point is in his arms, while mine are in my legs. He exceeds me in strength, while I exceed him in speed. He is better at manipulating his center of gravity while I am better at rotational kicking velocity.
It's hard to imagine, that we met over 3 years ago and we started training when he has never done martial arts. Now he is a true martial artist. Though his technique is a bit sloppy and his fighting abilities need refinement, his soul is strong and resolute, that of a TRUE martial artist. He has JUST as much right, if not MORE than I, to call himself a martial artist. When I get old, THESE are the memories that I will remember. The training, the self-improvement, the mutual relationship between teacher and student, pushing ourselves and each other and most importantly...BROTHERHOOD.
Hmmm...I better get to training harder, I don't want to disappoint him next time we fight.
