I agree wholeheartedly. A correctly halted blow shows discipline, skill and pure ninjosity.

And as there are no comments indicating any other explanation for the proximity I consider it to be all about the skill ;)

A delightful little story and beautifully written, so have a *click*

Maybe I should start up my own martial art school. It could be like kendo, with less skill and less bamboo stick/swords and more hockey sticks and reckless abandonment?

Sounds like fun to me...
... where do I sign up?

Hmmm...
...I'll find a suitable location and get back to you! :)
