    I’m sorry, I’m just laughing over the idea of some dude accidentally signing up for classes in assassination. I can believe it happened–but it’d also make a great story.

    Make it so the guy is too timid to stop going (maybe because he was taking martial arts as a way to learn assertiveness) and you have a book or TV series about an accidental assassin.

      There’s been some big changes in that style. The most extreme stuff got removed from the curriculum. I once got a look at a manual from the 70s, and yes - there was some disturbing eye stuff.
