the battlefield
When I was in the fourth grade, I began learning Tae Kwon Do and eventually learned to spar in a "ring."
From the fifth grade through the eigth grade, I began learning a different and more comprehensive martial art and began sparring in a more intense fighting "ring."
When I was in the eigth grade, I moved to the "grid-iron" battlefield.
When I moved to Hawai'i, the new battlefield was the streets when I participated in protests and marches against the injustices done to the Hawaiian People.
Lua took me to a more traditional battle field where I wore traditional clothing, used traditional weapons, techniques and battle formations.
Today, in less than two hours, I will enter a new battle field, the court room. For my Appellate Advocacy class, I will be making oral arguments in the Federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in from of Judge David Ezra, Federal Magistrate Leslie Kobayashi, and James Koshiba. I've been preparing and I am now ready and waiting. We'll see how it goes.
