Dojo Rules

Tanya's car pulled up, she had made it on time, just, she had been late twice
last week and once this week and was determined not to be late again. Getting
out she grabs her bag, she saw Mel "come on or you'll be late again" the women
rush as its almost half past and they still hadn't changed. They hurry in,
change and are in the Dojo in record time, just as well, 'sensei' was on time
to the second as normal. Tanya's still tying her long hair up as sensei
started to speak.

She started her exercise routine and the evening went on as normal, Tanya's a
good looking blond, early 20's, she's been coming to the Dojo for the last 4
months or so, since moving up north after finishing university. A job
opportunity had come up and she grabbed it. At first she was nervous about
moving so far away from what she knew, but going to university had been the
same and she got through that ok. She had wanted to carry on with her martial
arts classes and this Dojo was recommended as the best in the city. She'd made
new friends, like Mel, and was enjoying life. The only downside at the moment
was Errol! He's the sensei, he lived up to his name, big, black and mean, and
as would always say "Rule 1, Discipline, I'm disciplined and you should be
like me!" Even so he was a good teacher and had brought Tanya up to a new
level.

She could see out of the corner of her eye that Jordon had managed to sneak
into the Dojo, late again, sensei hadn't noticed he was with a group of
youngsters across the other side of the floor. She could see the look of
relief on her friends face that he had made it unnoticed inside, or so he
thought "Arrh Mr Andrews good of you to make an appearance" 'Shit! Caught!'
This wasn't going to be pretty, sensei seamed to enjoy belittling people in
front of the rest of the group. He said it was to make people better, so they
didn't make mistakes in the future, Tanya had 'suffered' at his hands before.
She thought it was because 'sensei' was just a prick and enjoyed humiliating
those that couldn't fight back.

"Come here Mr Andrews" Jordon made his was nervously toward the much larger
man "What are the rules of the Dojo Mr Andrews, what is Rule 4?" 'Cough!' "Err
... Be ready on time ... " "I CAN'T HEAR YOU MR ANDREWS!" the black man moved
closer to his smaller student "BE READY ... ... OOOOHHHHH!" Sensei grabbed
Jordon and throws him violently to the floor "BE READY MR ANDREWS" His fist
was pulled back and sent flying to Jordon's face, Tanya and the others all
drew back in horror. His fist stopped only millimetres from Jordon's face
"Rule 2, concentrate, be ready for any and everything Mr Andrews." the large
black man stood up over his downed student "be ready and be on time ... Rule
4." Jason got to his feet "Now go and train with the young ones, until you
have learnt the rules and learnt discipline."

Tanya was getting a bit fed up with coming to the Dojo now, she had been doing
martial arts since she was 9, it had started as a bit of fun, then she really
started to enjoyed it. But now under sensei Errol and his Dojo rules it was
starting to get to be a pain, the enjoyment had gone. At the end of the class
sensei called over to Jason and Mel "you two, lack of effort tonight, get the
brooms and sweep the Dojo ... The rules people, Rule 3, 150% effort each
night, you only put in 40% ... Get sweeping." Tanya went to get changed, Errol
was getting more of a prick each night she thought.

As Tanya waited for her friends to finish the sensei approached, he made her
jump as he creepped up to her "Tanya discipline and rules, concentrate all the
time or your nothing" 'cheers creep' she thought. "I'm glad your still here I
need to talk to you" 'Oh please not another hit on her, like when she first
turned up here.' Errol had tried it on once before when she first started
there but got no where, he was 40 and too much of a 'meat head' who loved
himself, not her type at all. "It's about your black belt" her attention was
grabbed by this statement. "Now the examine can be done next week" she smiled,
to be truthful this was the only thing that really kept her there "there is a
cost, of course it will be ... " 'Cost! ... How much did he say!' " ... And if
you pass there's also the cost of the belt, that's going to be an extra ... ."
'What! I pass and you what the charge me for the belt as well!' At this point
all of Errol's words where lost, she was pissed off. This ... ... This bully
was going to charge her for the exam and then the belt as well and charge her
... ... over 200!

He didn't wait for a reply just walked off in his normal manner "see you next
week then and where see if your good enough." She saw red at this, the money
was one thing, but it was his whole attitude, she had come to dislike 'sensei'
and this was the final straw! She would be just wait and see, she was
determined to get that belt and determined to do something to get at sensei
... ..But what?

Next week arrived and Tanya had had time to think about her next move, she
arrived at the Dojo early, very early in fact, as the cleaner left she went
in, Errol hadn't arrived yet 'Good!'

Errol's car pulled up at the Dojo, he was there a good few hours before each
class to set up and be there to see everyone arrive, Dojo rules, be there on
time if not early. He looked around as he entered, there was something ... ...
Something he couldn't put his figure on! 'No must be imagining it' he went
through and got changed as normal. He came out in his normal black judo suite
and black belt, he moved into the Dojo, 'strange the lights are off?' 'They
where on when he came in!' CLICK! A light switch went and a large spot light
illuminating the middle of the arena, soft footsteps and Tanya walked into the
light "Tanya! Is that you?" The large man took a couple of steps closer
"Tanya? ... What's going on?"

The blond woman was already in her traditional white suit, and tonight with a
white belt, she started to gentle wonder around in the illuminated area "well
sensei I've been thinking" "Have you!" His tone was harsh, she stopped and
looked at him her eyes focused and sharp, he had never seen that look in her
before. "Yes ... ... And I know that it's time to gain my black belt, but I
don't think it's fair that you charge for it and charge so much ... ... " He
interrupted her with his laughter, she again focused on him, her look was this
time more stern, more profound, it unnerved the large black man, which was
unusual! "So ... 'COUGH' ... So what do you suggest then?" "I suggest you give
me the belt!" His laughter filled the Dojo, he had to stop himself to continue
"You want me to just give you your black belt" she took a step closer. "Not
just any belt I want your's" He stopped, now he looked annoyed "What!"

There was a pause before she answered "I suggest we fight, when I win I take
your black belt and of course you can forget about any fee's!" He'd never
heard of anything like it, now he was getting angry with all this crap. "So
when I win?" She smiled, knowing he wouldn't be able to resist what she had to
offer, a step closer to the sensei. "IF you win, you get me!" She placed a
hand on her chest, she moved it across her deliberately opening the top of her
suit to show off her large assets.

He swallowed hard, since she had arrived at the Dojo he had wanted her, who
wouldn't, young, good looking, great body, the idea was so appealing. The
irony of the situation was not lost on her 'Black v White' the black sensei
all in black the white woman all in white. She stopped just in front of him
"well?" He liked his lips, but before he could answer SMACK! Her free hand
came over and smashed into the side of his face stunning the large black man.
This was followed up instantly by her knee being driving into his groin WACK!
Her sensei stumbled over, he put out a hand to stop himself falling all the
way to the floor. "Sensei you didn't follow the rules, Rule 1 concentrate at
all times!" Her voice was mocking, he pushed up on his arm, to get back onto
his feet but she had studied him, knew his thinking. CRACK! Her foot shot out
and caught him on the back of his head as he came up, he was sent forward, he
moved into a forward roll to get distance between him and her.

He stopped, jumped up, turned to face her, he was quick, but she was quicker
and focused on his demises WACK! A foot connected with the side of his head,
her speed and accuracy surprised the large man CRACK! Her other foot found its
mark as well. He took a couple of steps backward, she jumped up and THUD! Her
foot now landed violently in the centre of his chest. The man's sent flying
off his feet and to the floor.

Errol shock his head clear, he looked around 'No sigh of her!' He was back
onto his feet in a flash, turning around trying to find her in the darkness
outside the illuminated area. "So sensei" her voice echoed around the empty
Dojo, but where was she? "Rule 1 broken no concentration" he carried on
turning to try and locate her "Rule 3 as well, very little effort put in by
you so far." His peripheral visions caught a flash of white as Tanya rushed
out of the darkness WACK! CARCK! Two sharp blows to the side of him, caught
unaware, he doubled up, she was far stronger than he had ever thought. She
grabbed her sensei by his head, holds him bend over and WACK! WACK! WACK! Her
knees brought up, smashing into his chest, he manages to lash out and pushes
the blond away from him, looking up he grabs a lung full of air, she's gone!
Back into the darkness? "Sensei Rule 5, always know where your enemy is" she's
behind him, but before he can turn WACK! WACK! Two devastating punches into
his kidneys, he dropped to his knees, cried out in pain, he's hurt and she
smiles.

The student now has the master on his knees, she walks round to the side of
him WACK! A kick out that connects with his jaw, Errol falls backwards onto
the floor THUD! She drives her foot into his gut, he yells out in pain, but
even louder when her foot finds it mark in his groin CRUNCH! AAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!
The man is in agony for his students vicious blows, but she gives him no rest
bite, dragging him up onto his knees again WACK! More hard hitting knees into
his chest followed by a firm thigh smashing into the side of his face, he
hit's the floor with another THUD!

Tanya again drags him up, now onto his feet " Rule 2, concentrate and be ready
for any and everything" she grabs his arm turns and throw the man easily THUD!
The next 10-15 minutes sees the student go through a number of different
moves, using the sensei as her 'demonstration assistant.' She also gives a
running commentary on each move, to make sure that he fully understands "now
sensei ... ... Tai Otoshi" the body drop ... ... THUD! The man is too hurt,
tired and injured to resist "next is the Morote Seoinage" the two armed
shoulder throw THUD! She followed this up with a 'Ippon Seoinage' one arm
shoulder throw, she was even pleased with her pronunciation! But she doesn't
hold back in her ferocity, each move harder, faster more painful for him than
the move before.

She throws, kicks, punches, floating drops, circle and scoop throws her
sensei, the student is showing just how good she is. Finally she gets her
'master' back onto his feet "and now to finish with sensei ... " She spins, he
can just make out a perfect roundhouse kick that connects with his head, the
man's sent flying backwards and once more to the floor.

Tanya stand over him, he's bearly conscious as she leans forward and undoes
his belt, then slowly pulls the belt up from under him, she knows he can feel
it, he knows what is happening, she's won her belt by defeating him. She
removes her belt, drops it on him and ties her new black belt around her.
Victory and the black belt are hers; she turns and goes, turning the lights
off as she leaves.

She gets outside and into her car, as she does she see the Robinson Family
turn up 'Rule 4, be ready and be on time' she says to herself, the smile on
her face says it all. 'Wonder what the Robinsons will say when then find
sensei?' She drives off.

Two days later and its another class night, time to go down to the Dojo, Tanya
arrives deliberately late, she changes, putting on her new black belt with
pride, as she enters the Dojo, everyone stops, silence! Mel turns to Jordon
"Be ready and be on time" she's doesn't try to whisper it either. Tanya walks
in; she can tell by the looks on peoples faces they know 'something', sensei
Errol is there, he looks nervous. In an equally non whispered voice Jordon
responds "I wonder what sensei's going to say about her being late? Tanya
hears and she wonders too!
