Line 127 ⟶ 130:
* In 18th Century France, or thereabouts, and a young, talented, but arrogant fencer is boasting that he has learnt all he can from his aged fencing master, who has nothing more to teach him, etc. The fencing master is understandably upset about this, and challenges the pupil to a duel. Within three seconds, the now not-so-arrogant young man is lying on the ground bleeding. The master asks him, "Are you ''sure'' there's nothing more I can teach you?" This kind of stories are dime in a dozen in the fencing world. They're probably also at least partially true—technique nearly always beats strength and enthusiasm in a swordfight.
** Ditto martial arts. Young bully comes to town, old man bitch slaps him into last week with a single blow.
