I started training back in 'Nam. I was your age, and I didn't pick it up nearly as fast.

[ Which is the only clue he'll give to the fact that he used to be a scrawny loser. For now. ]

After the war, my partner and I trained with Master Kim Sun-Yung in Korea. Then I went back home to LA and started teaching.

[ All these fuckers went to 'nam. Except for the ones from space stations.

But he preens a little, just a little at the compliment. But it's obvious in the way his shoulders loosen, his mouth curves just a little. ]

Your partner teach too?

[dynatox]

Yes. More than I did. I had to take over the family business once my father passed, but he kept on going.

[ Despite everything, he still talks about Kreese with stars in his eyes. ] A real legend. His students won every tournament there was. [ Almost. But he doesn't say that, mostly because he still doesn't count Daniel as a real champion that beat Cobra Kai fair and square. ]

[ Terry talks like he's got stars in his eyes. Billy doesn't really have the full picture, not really, but he can't help but ask with a little impudent smile. ] Which one of you is the better teacher then? Am I getting second rate?

[dynatox]

We have different styles. I'm not sure you'd have liked him.

[ Billy's exactly the sort of student he would have wanted, but Kreese was strict and rarely ever praised anyone. ]

And he didn't know my signature move.

[otherbitches]

[ That's good enough for Billy, who isn't really that interested in this mysterious teacher, who's more interested in peeling back layers around Terry, in finding out what he can get. ]

Got it. So I'm getting it good.

So. No rule three today. [ A beat. ] Let me see the move.

[dynatox]

[ He shakes his head. ] The move comes with rule 3.

[otherbitches]

[ Annoyed: ] Fine.

[ At least spar with me. ]
