exactly. i can tell (more or less) how long a person's been at it about 2 seconds after they touch my wrists, strike, etc. maybe it's a little trickier with a jo but i wouldnt have slapped a guy for being clueless! everyone is clueless at some point.

maybe the slap was more of an "offering" of a slap that he never thought would connect?
