I was on campus today when all of a sudden the greenspace between Tresidder Union and White Plaza became a combat zone.
It was pretty cool.
The martial arts clubs were out recruiting by demonstrating their slickest moves.
I learned something important today–don’t mess with the Kempo Karate club at Stanford. They scare me.
The other groups were pretty impressive too, especially the Wushu Club.
Side note: people sometimes wonder why there are so many Christian organizations on your typical campus when they all agree on the basics. One might as well ask why there are so many martial arts organizations when they all focus on the same things (wearing funny clothes and fighting one another). We disagree on some techniques and a few philosophical premises. Differentiation is not a big deal, nor is it unique to religious organizations.
