Mr. al-Rashid,

I apologize for having to postpone our meeting last week. But now that I appear to have made a complete recovery, I am ready for Krav Maga, if you still are.

I like the dedication you're showing me here. It bodes well.

Bring yourself plus water and a medkit down to the Gym tomorrow night. 8PM work for you? I'll show you the basics, maybe spar a little so I can get a feel for how you fight now. Then we'll start talking about Krav Maga and how it can complement your existing style, open somne new doors for you.

Salaam,
Haroun

How do you say good in Jewish?

You will soon see that when it comes to things such as martial arts, sir, that dedication is my middle name.

What should I dress in? I have a gi, but I usually train in loose drawstring pants and a t-shirt. I don't need to wear one of those Jewish hats for Krav Maga, do I?

-Shiro

No, you very definitely do not need a Jew-hat.

Have I mentioned that I'm a Muslim, not a Jew?

Wear street clothes. Krav is designed to be done at full effectiveness when you're on the street, and unless you're some sort of sick freak weirdo you don't normally wear your pretty gi out on the street.

Salaam,
Haroun

And I don't need those long sideburns either?

I come from Japan, Land of No Jews. Like I know anything about Jewish customs regarding fighting and proper attire. I didn't even know the differences between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam until I got here. They still confuse me, actually. Religion in Japan is so much simpler than it is in the West.
