Hi Barry, I noticed you comment and wanted to respond. I haven't had a lot of opportunities to write fight scenes since the stories I've been working on lately don't feature skilled fighters, but things like self-discipline and self-control (or lack thereof) definitely show up in my writing. We have an expression when practicing with live blades, "The edge of the blade is the truth." Generally in class this means that you might think you are practicing correctly, but the blood indicates you are wrong. That adherence to truth and clarity (or their opposites for the villains) also plays a part of my fiction. Thank you so much for the comment.
