By morning they seemed like Three Musky Peers; by midday they seemed like Ninjas!
Training began promptly at 3:30PM. The sturdy rafters (evenly spaced 2 x 4s) provided the ideal dojo. Combined with the inherent danger (a 10 ft drop when the bottom floor already was completed, at least 20 to a cement basement when not), the mental proving grounds also had clearly been established. Some key areas targeted for improvement included balance, agility, strength, courage, madness, deftness, precision, coordination (both hand-eye and foot-eye), and trust. They conducted speed trials and crucible trials, and do not forget sparring trials.
Indeed, having ample access to continually constructed homes and ever abundant power tools and supplies, the Wood-frame Ninjas were able to fashion weapons of skill such as the Bo Staff and Nunchaku, and then test these weapon’s might and merit, not to mention the might and merit of the combatants.
Predestination to be revealed...
