"There's more to martial arts than fighting." At least there was if one were taught correctly. Whatever fighting he'd learned to do had clearly omitted that element, and he frowned just imagining it. Sloppy, in both teaching and likely execution.
However, he was here to teach the mental discipline, not combat, even if carelessness in either evoked his disapproval. "We start from the beginning: with breathing." Strange, to be teaching by lecturing instead of demonstrating, but this wasn't something he'd ever taught before, and definitely not like this, not in the costume. It allowed plenty of mobility, but it wasn't meant for this particular activity. Just as well; he needed to concentrate on his student instead of his own mental processes.
