Asskickdom is great and all, but it can be a bit hollow without the other aspects of the arts. Jen - Awesome, I am glad to hear that your style and dojo pass your inspection! It can feel a little weird evaluating something you don't know much about, but it's definitely necessary. Chris - Thank you!

And I heartily agree with your emphasis on the non-physical aspects of the arts, which to me are just as (if not more) important.
