First of all, several points to Wyatt for getting to the semi-finals of his squadron in the pugil stick competition at the Air Force Academy. He says it was thanks to all the Ko Sho training of angles and combinations, but he might have just been being flattering or modest in his own skill. Highlights: the angle-to-missing leg-->thrust to face worked nicely, and during one of his last matches he tripped backwards and his opponent charged in to hit him while he was on the ground, but he rolled with his fall and slammed both feet into the guy's belly, knocking him backwards. Ah, the classic up kick. Unfortunately, quite illegal in that context, but nothing to be done for good reflexes.
In related news, another Ko Sho student did similarly well during his time getting his specialized training as an MP for the Army. That context was a general hand-to-hand fighting competition, however, and as he described it their training is pretty much jujitsu, so with his already-trained stature, he (quote-unquote) kicked ass in the ring. Not quite as modest, but nothing to be done for kicking ass. As it were.
