Not on Thursdays

Not on Thursdays

Techniques:

I was evil.  I had them work at 3-step distance and do only left-sided techniques.  I also called out the techniques in Japanese (followed by the number from Ju Nana Hon Kata) just before they started the attack.

All things considered, it went well.  They probably want to kill me.

Aftermath:

None of note.
