[ Terry's wearing his Cobra Kai gi, his hair tied back neatly in a ponytail. He looks neat and sharp, and so do his surroundings. There isn't a single particle of dust in sight, but there are enough personal touches - a slightly tilted photograph in a frame, an opened bottle of wine on the shelf - that it's not too mechanical. He's approachable, he's friendly, he knows how to market himself. ]

I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Terry Silver, also with the Cobra Kai dojo. I see Sensei Lawrence has already made quite the introduction.

[ Derogatory. The neutral and abrupt tone with which he says it is perhaps more biting than any sneering or snarking could be. ]

My style differs from his [ It's way, way better is what he means. ] so I'd also like to extend an open invitation for any students interested in learning karate who might prefer my approach. This won't conflict with Sensei Lawrence's classes at all. The more the merrier, I always say.

[ He absolutely intends to create conflict with Johnny's classes. ]

My personal approach emphasizes the psychological elements of fighting as much as the physical. That doesn't mean my training regimen is any less intense, we'll just be adding some extra elements of strategy into the mix.

There is no initiation test in my dojo; it's my job to make sure you succeed regardless of where you start. Willingness to show up and commit is proof enough for me.

I'd especially like to invite anyone who is interested in learning but worries that they may not be strong enough, anyone who needs help facing their fears, and anyone who has been a victim of bullying. [ You know, if you've ever been bullied by people like Johnny Lawrence. ] Of course, I will gladly welcome anyone who is interested in my methods, those are just examples of students I've excelled with in the past.

Hope you have fun training my sloppy seconds. I'm just busting your balls. This is some good shit

Looks like Cobra Kai is going to be back on top.

Not interested in learning from either of you, but thank god you showed up, Silver-sensei, 'cause Lawrence-sensei sounded like a fuckin' pill. Kids could use someone who actually teaches karate for the right reasons instead of just learning how to kick ass while Joe Esposito plays in the background.

"Psychology" is an odd discipline to focus on for martial arts. The face of violence is naked, brutal, and bloody; no amount of philosophy or meditation or mantra will change that.

Unless, of course, you mean pointed, subtle digs at your rival dojos, making you seem more stable and reliable by comparison.


[Sayo cannot believe that she's going to bat for Ozpin here along with Johnny, but for some reason she can't quite put a finger on yet, Terry is getting under her skin more than Ozpin ever did.]

You say you'll welcome anyone - but does that apply to those already attending Sensei Lawrence's classes? I'd hate to cause unnecessary drama.

The only psychology we should be focusing on is the one that doesn't involve proving yourself pathetic by making a fake show of being the bigger man.

Hello. I'm Paul Atreides. I've spoken with Sensei Lawrence in the past.

[Paul is out on a beach, apparently alone, his hair messy around his face as he directs a slight, respectful bow to the camera. He's been doing his research on this 'karate'.]

I don't fall into the categories of your typical students, but I am interested in the psychological aspects you mention, and the strategy. What are some of your training methods?

[Billie might appear to be young, and a lot of what Terry says might go over his head, but he's been looked down on enough in his life before Tuck and Vyng came along that he understands the undercurrent of what's happening here, and he doesn't much care for it.]

It was a great introduction! Scentsy showed me how he can break ice with his head. It was so cool!

[It doesn't even strike him as odd that they're all named Scentsy - everyone in his hometown was one form of Bill or another, so it must be the same wherever they're from.]

Your introduction is a lot better than the other guys. And sounds more like a proper dojo than some jerk looking for an excuse to hit someone.

But what's the difference between American Karate and traditional? I've already trained in Karate and Judo. But it would be good to have somewhere to keep training. Also, is there somewhere to get a gi or are students allowed to wear normal clothes?
