The Way of the Harmonious Spirt [Monkey King's School]
#1
Life was beginning to settle down a little more. Married life was great, Rachel was doing significantly better after her healing even if she still had her issues, and and he was going to be a father. Jared was becoming a little complacent though. After he had spent time in the dojo with the kids at Nox's place, he realized he had missed training. It happened often with adults. You train, learn a lot, and then life gets in the way.  After earning his Nidan* in Aikido, he'd went into the Marines, then the Roswell PD, and then the Leigon. It hadn't left much time for training. Jared had kept up his skills, but he hadn't gone any farther. Being married to one of the richest people in Moscow helped with that particular issue. He had also put on a couple of pounds since the wedding.  He decided it was time to come back.

Jared had searched and The Monkey King's School of the Mystical Arts seemed to suit him.  It was owned and run by the famous movie star, Tan Li. That wasn't what attracted Jared to it. At least, Li's celebrity wasn't what attracted Jared to it. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Tan Li didn't fake his stunts in his movies.  He knew his stuff and was quite adept at what he did.  The man was a true master of martial arts, including what Jared had studied - Aikido. The commercials also showed something else that intrigued Jared. It showed Tan Li channeling, and it claimed that he could show you how. Jared knew how, but no one ever stopped learning.

Jared arrived at the dojo.  He wasn't dressed in his gi or hakama, but he had brought the garments and had them in his gym bag. He wasn't a member of the dojo yet, but was just going to see if this is where he wanted to be, but he was pretty certain he'd fit in here. The building was two stories and he entered into a lobby on the first floor.  He approached the desk and spoke to the person there.

"Good morning. My name is Jared Vanders. I saw some of your commercials and I was interested in learning more about your school here. I have a Nidan in Aikido, and I'm looking for somewhere to train. I'd also be interested in learning some other arts as well. Would like to see what you're about."

*Nidan = Second Degree Black Belt]]
