I am trying to get my kids into karate. These jerks can't stop getting into trouble in school. I want them to get on the right track and learn a discipline. Can you help me? I would like to have someone give them private lessons. I am willing to shell out some money for this.

Thanks,
Frank Shizworth (it's me, Shizzy)

Frank,

Thanks for the inquiries. What kind of trouble are they getting into? Nothing too serious I hope. We can setup a meeting at The Dojo to discuss classes at our school. Overall discipline in mind, body is a key essential to a child!

Hi Chris. Glad to hear from you. My wife and I are divorced and the two twin boys live with their mother. She basically lets them do whatever they want. She lets them smoke pot and stay out all night. When they're at my house they know that doesn't fly. They do their chores and no pot aloud. But when they go back to their mother's they sit on their asses, get high, and watch TV. They're always in trouble academically, and were suspended for smoking cigarettes in the bathroom during a pep rally. They've both voiced an interest in martial arts and I think it might be the ticket. It's gonna be that or the army because I'll be damned if I pay for them to smoke away a couple of semesters at college. They simply need discipline and an outlet for their aggression. I want you to know that my kids aren't big time troublemakers. They simply lack direction. They're lazy and they gotta get off the pot. I'm willing to pay extra to get these jerks in line. They're good kids but they're teenaged jaggoffs that have alot of growing up to do. I'd like to know what sort of training you would give them. How long have you been involved with karate? Have you dealt with kids like this before? I'd like to call you, but I managed to get a tongue infection while I was in Mexico on business. I can barely speak. If we could have our initial dialogue via e-mail that would be great. Thanks again for responding and I hope to hear from you soon.

Frank

Frank,

Sorry for the late response; I have private lessons ranging
From $25.00 an hr. to a monthly plan of private instruction that can go to
$200.00. We have regular students' rates that are cheaper, but it seems
the boys will have limited time to attend classes. What are there ages?
Karate is a great tool of self-discipline, but the student must first
accept the conditioning, mental well-being and the spiritual aspects
that comes along with training in the martial arts.
Smoking there lives away when they are at mom's house will be a habit
To break with them & mom! I'm sorry we can't meet at my school, but I will
want to meet the boys before we start a program to talk conditions I
have on private instruction & talk schedules.

Hi Chris. I had a groundbreaking discussion with my ex-wife on the topic of our kids turning into burnouts. She says she promises to pick up the slack and reinstate a zero tolerance policy towards drug use. I think the two boys are ready to turn over a new leaf as well. A friend of theirs got into trouble for selling acid at school and now he's going to jail. That really scared the hell out of them. The two boys, Marco and David, are identical twins aged 17. I've explained to them that their mother and I want them to regularly attend karate lessons at your dojo. They seem genuinely interested. Marco wants to know if you offer lessons on how to use nun chucks and throwing stars. I promised I'd ask. David told me he'd like to learn about pressure points and how to do the crane. Maybe you know what he's talking about. Any price for the lessons that you decide is fine. Money is no object when it comes to the physical and spiritual well being of my boys. If you could please give me directions to your dojo as well as give me a time when you would like to meet your new students I would appreciate it.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Frank

I'm glad to hear the turn of events! We can setup a meeting anytime in the morning this week or Saturday morning 10:00am. Let me know what time is good for you?

This Saturday at ten sounds fine. I'll bring the twins and we can discuss the training lessons etc. If you could give me directions to your dojo that'd be great. The twins are really fired up about the lessons.

Can't wait to meet you.
Frank

Now I email Sensei Seputis pretending to be Marco Shizworth, one of the troubled twins.

My dad, Frank Shizworth, has scheduled an appointment for my brother and I to meet you on Saturday at 10 o'clock. Dude, you gotta listen to me. My dad is a friggin' lunatic. First of all he is all about karate and shit. He has all of these Bruce Lee movies and he does this lame Jackie Chan impression all the time. He is one of those guys who talks about Vietnam, when he actually spent the war hiding in Canada. Anyway, he's all hell bent on getting Dave and I to take lessons from you so we can be ninja warrior sons he can be proud of. Dave and me really don't want to do it. It is just too gay for us. I don't think karate is gay, but having our dad bring us down to the dojo like Mr. fucking Miyagi is so major league homo that I refuse to take part in it. So, Sensei Seputis I'm begging you, make something up and get my dad to buzz off. Tell him you're busy. Tell him you have to go to a wedding or a samurai tournament or some shit. It doesn't matter. You more than anyone will be so miserable when you have to sit there and listen that dweebgeezer talk about how he used judo on a pickpocket during wartime in Toronto. Trust me, you don't want this guy at your dojo. You don't want to meet anyone with a Jean Claude Van Damm poster in his office. Please do us a solid and email dad telling him the meeting cannot take place and that you can't teach us karate.

Thanks dude,
Marco Shizworth

He obviously doesn't take Marco's warning seriously. That bitch!

Dude...what's this about? Why didn't you cancel? You fucking gave him directions? Damn it dude. Now there's no chance he'll get lost. You are fucking up. Okay, look, right now my dad is watching Bloodsport for the one thousandth time. He's in his Bruce Lee pajamas drinking a martini and mouthing every line that comes out of Van Damm's stupid mouth. I am begging you now, please e-mail my dad and save us from the torture that we will experience tomorrow morning at your dojo. I really don't think you understand the situation here. The guy isn't stable. He's one of those freaks that think the end of the world is going to happen soon. He's always talking about Armageddon and how we have to train ourselves for the "end times." Shit, man, you want to sit through that? You want to meet a grownup that takes chopsticks to McDonalds? Trust me you don't. I suspect he wants you to teach us karate so we can teach him. Please Sensei, I don't know you, but I know that no man wants to meet the nerdmaster that is my father. Please email my dad tonight and tell him You can't meet him tomorrow. Do it quick before it's too late.

Marco

I got some emails from your son Marco. In them he makes it clear that he isn't interested in pursuing martial arts training. I recommend you discuss this with him before we have a meeting at the dojo.

How dare you sir! Marco told me that he didn't send you any emails. Who the hell do you think you are? I hope you can throw sonic booms motherfucker because I'm going shinobi on your ass. I am a Vietnam veteran and an ungodly judo master. I challenge you to a martial arts contest! I'll meet you at our scheduled appointment at the dojo. But now I am coming down there looking for a battle. I swear you will rue the day you crossed me. Back in 'nam they called me Captain Judo. You know why? Because I know fucking judo you idiot and you are just hours away from a serious beating. First, I'll frog trip you and follow that up with a sweet little hip throw. I bet you don't even know what that means do you? You should go ahead and call all of the your cobra kai students and tell them a real master is coming to show them some real street fighter skills. So, go ahead and break out the candles and the gong and all the Kumite shit we'll need. If you call me Sensei Shizzy and I might spare your pathetic life.
