Drunken Fist... That was a fitting name, Kaidan reflected, as the guy had looked like he was drunk. A lot of what he said could apply to lectures Kaidan gave his Spec-Ops students, though admittedly he hadn't trained any of them to fight like this. Still, he smiled the more the man spoke. The way Zhao spoke put him at ease; he was used to people joking around, and it helped remind him that he could probably joke a little more himself.

"I didn't exactly tell you that I'm a biotic, either," Kaidan pointed out with a shrug. "Yeah, the barrier's pretty handy. It was just instinct to throw it up." He wasn't all that bothered that he lost this match. If anything, he saw it as an opportunity to learn something new.

"Can't say I know much about kung fu styles," he went on thoughtfully. "I think maybe I saw a vid once as a kid? Definitely not something they taught us in the Alliance."
