Batroc taught me about Savate, which I use to dispell the popular arguement in role playing game circles that all unarmed combat is oriental in origin. I'll never understand why otherwise intelligent people think that no other culture ever tried to punch or kick people. Theno I love Batroc!

I mainly remember that because somebody commented that it looks like Bartoc is farting on the shield and blasting off.

My head hurts now.
