My daughter and son took karate together and the teacher taught at different schools. When we switched to a location closer to home, I remember two boys who didn't know her look incredulous when the teacher made them hold two pads when she practiced punching with them. He stepped back and let her do her stuff. They were goggle-eyed at her power and they grudgingly said that kinda hurt. "Focus and don't underestimate your partner." She wins every verbal argument in life with the same strategy.
