I know, taijutsu is not a combative sport. It is about killing. The dead patterns are meant to be met with little to no resistance. This is why the sparring is low key. Maybe sparring is not the right word, but I can't think of a better one.

And yeah, I expected it, I just didn't fully realize what it was I was expecting. Oh, yeah, I got my ninja costume in the mail today. I'm wearing it right now. It is awesome.

EDIT:
Your posts should be black. True Ninja's wear black. You poser.
Wearing and writing are different things.
