Mnemonic

What's the key to mastering any skill? A stick and a shoe (しゅう)!

Picture your leader again; stick in one hand, shoe in the other. He looks kind of threatening, like he's about to slap you with the stick and then throw the shoe at you. But that's what it takes for mastering certain skills. This is all for discipline’s sake.
