And yes, there are always holes.
The classical turds will never understand what it means to be driven. Driven by 2 minutes- 'cuz that's all you get. In the cage, on the tatami, on the lei tai- and it's not just MA technique- it's reading sports psychology, it's time in the gym, it's nutrition- heck, internalists think they know their body- let's see them try matching their peak plateau cycle with the competitions that you know you have to win and those that you can afford to lose. Driven. Finding the best gyms, the best coaches, always working, always thinking. Driven- this isn't a playground, this isn't the safety of the super kwoon where you always play with the same other classical turds. Driven by 2 minutes where you know that other guy is just as driven as you... who's feeling better, who knows and prepared for the other's game, who's going to win? And for what? There's nothing proven, no money, no fame, no girls- at least for us working class schlepps- we know this, yet- as soon as the match ends- win or lose- we start it all over again. And it's not just for fighters- don't think that the Wushu guys aren't as driven- 'cuz all the above applies to them just as well.

That's driven- that's hard work- and I'm tired of ye gods fo martial virtue pi$$ing on that (pot bellied lazy slobs that you are)- yeah- I may be a modern snob- but I know hard work. I know that there's a world outside my bubble- and that world has mullet-ed bullet eating SOBs who want to wipe the mat with my arse if I let 'em.

Feel free to quote me, I should write children's novels.
