i think i finally get question mark kicks ?! god, i hope so. they're definitely not perfect but they follow the mysterious path of the enigmatic question mark and land on faces, so,

oron wasn't around this morning so i worked with wang. he had me doing those repetitive kicks in brutal sets that left me gasping for breath, but he was complimentary of my technique so no beef.

yesterday working with oron, he was totally dissatisfied with my bag kneeing technique and ran out of the gym into the adjacent field and got a stick and brought it back and hit me with it when i fucked up (which was regularly). he giggled every time he did it too. i'm fairly certain that oron is at least part demon trickster; likely his granddad is half demon trickster and his granddad's dad was a full-blooded demon trickster that used one of the oldest tricks in the demon book to bang his great grandma when she was a gorgeous young thai princess. no one believed her that the demon came to her in a dream and impregnated her and she was therefore outcast, raising oron's grandfather in poverty while she worked three jobs etc etc and now oron hits students with sticks and laughs because it's simply in his blood. that's really the only conclusion i can come to using occam's razor.
