Growth 1

Year 1

Now I'm a year old baby. Now I'm strong enough to walk around without stumbling around like most babies. Of course, I'm still not fast and strong enough to run around. What do you expect? I'm a baby after all.

But, because the nutrients and what my family did, do make me stronger than a normal baby.

After I'm capable enough to walk around by myself without stumbling, my family decide to add something to my activities to prepare me for the future training and martial artist path.

I'm still a baby and not strong enough, I cannot train. Why? well because my body is still growing, so training is a big no-no. training will only stop my body from growing properly and may cause hidden injuries inside my body. So training is a no. This is not may conjunction, but what my family said. I have no problem with it. I'm a lazy person after all.

The activities themselves counted as half training because their purpose is to adjust my body so it can maximize the result of training, minimize the risk of getting any hidden injuries from training, and make my body grow to its maximum potential.

Besides, the activities themselves are fun to do. Despite the main purpose of the activities being for my future training, they are still activities for babies, martial artist babies that is. But they are fun. What? it's strange for a grown-up man (mentaly) to have fun doing babies activities? try to become a baby then. it doesn't matter whether you are a normal baby or a martial arts baby, there are not many activities we can do. Lazy or not, doing nothing for a long time become so boring. So these activities become quiet for me to do to fill the boredom.

My family plan to start my training when I'm 4 years and 6 months. So until then, my activities filled with half-training half-baby play

Year 2

There is nothing changed this year, and the intensities of pre-training activities are more intense than before.

But I've found some interesting information. About my family that is.

First, the stream of my family. A most martial artist in this world believes in two streams, the saving fist and the killing fist.

Saving a fist abhorred the killing activity of a martial artist. Everybody lives are equal, nobody, strong or weak, nobody has the right to take other lives. The believer in Saving fist made it their mission to protect others, especially martial artists. They believed that everybody has other chances to redeem themselves. Note: other chances, no second chances

Then there is the killing fist. The killing fist, are the opposite of saving fist, where they don't care about the lives of other people, they have no problems in killing other people.

These two streams are what most martial artists believed in. But in reality, it's not as simple as that.

Just because someone is a believer in saving a fist, it doesn't mean that they've never killed someone. there are also some cases that believers in saving a fist turned into a believer in killing a fist.

Killing fist believers also do not mean that they will not save someone. It just that, the number of people that they willingly save are so few compared to the blood in their hands.

There are also martial artists like my family, a believer of another stream. My family strictly speaking are believed in saving first. But, my family doesn't mind the act of killing, so my family believe in the 'saving by killing' fist. Some people are beyond saving, because of the atrocities that they have done and are willing to do in the future. Silkwood jenazad, the grandmaster of Pencak silat, is a good example of these people.

After being told by my clan about these, they also revealed to me that their clan often took jobs about saving hostage situations, bodyguards and assassination. Yes, you don't read it wrongly, my clan took assassination cases. But my family never took an assassination of good people, they will only take the case if the target is someone who has done atrocities that are beyond saving. Silkwood jenazad is also one of the targets my clan willingly took, but have never succeeded because the man is strong, and my clan is not strong enough to take him down without casualties. So my clan are forced to not pursue him anymore. For now.

I have no problem with what my family believed since I also believe the same with my family.

The last thing I found, is that my mother is also a martial artist, a grandmaster at that. But my family won't reveal to me who she is, and that she will take me to train with her when I'm six years old, and if I had mastered the basic style of my clan tempest style by the age of six. If I have not yet mastered it, then I will have to wait until I'm seven years old until I can know about her.
