I'm working on a piece right now where John is a martial arts expert and was a stage movement and fighting instructor at the university where Rodney was finishing up his masters. (Dual emphasis degrees; MFA/Theatre, Emphasis Acting/Directing, MFA/production design, undergrad degrees in engineering and theatre) His plan was to eventually have his own theatre company and there was a Doranda like experience. John has another skill set, too, and I haven't quite decided what that was...if that helps?
It does help a bit, I was thinking something nearly useless like old English, history with focus on the dark ages, or something like that, which would not clash at all with the fighting... maybe he picked up the broadsword, or stage fighting as a quick credit early on, and liked it (because what's cooler than just owning a big sword, being able to say you can use it.)
Maybe stage fighting let him get away with a PE credit. :D I totally agree, and that would also fit in with his reading the Iliad. Yay!! I think that once John let go of the air force, he just did stuff he liked and figured he'd keep landing on his feet. So the hell with practical, he'd take old English history. And some math. And broadsword figting.
Use whatever you like, hon. We don't all have to match up perfectly. Take what you need.
