A martial art
Without the annoying Martial part
Now there is an
Art that can
Be appreciated!
Still, it feels good
Not to call it
Just a dance
But, a martial art!
Love and harmony
Now that sounds splendid!
So, when the
Atemi comes
It comes as a surprise! Shit, was that
Supposed to happen?
It hurt, damnit! This martial aspect
Needs further review!
