I don't think he's slipping in his actual martial arts experience, although I haven't seen anything recent. I think his girth

Now this isn't to say that the rest of us, me in particular, don't have girth that would get in the way either.

Luckily, I wasn't drinking anything since I'm not as skilled in the art of drink keeping like John is.
