With both Lacy and Anna being Drew’s personal students, do you think that they may be sufficiently advanced to be allowed to take part in Drew’s advanced training class with Rory et al in the near future ?

I don;t think it gives anything away to highlight the following. Lacy and Anna are new to something which even in Drew's case took years to train. I think that the two students are a long way from participating in the advanced classes as students. I have tried to portray the participants as people who worked hard for years at getting where they are regarding skills. It would seem unfair to advance these two newer students into that realm in the near future.

In martial arts, new students often learn one or two important skills and spend a lot of time perfecting those limited skills. While they may become very good at a limited number of skills, they will lack the knowledge gained from years of participation.

Thanks for asking and reading

Thank You for your reply Diane, I am a martial artist myself and I am aware that it does take time to get to a certain proficiency.

Being Drew’s students I just considered that they MAY have picked it up a wee bit faster but I am just as happy that you are making Lacy and Anna take the time to gain that needed proficiency.
