my 2c: he was being a dick for not telling her straight out that striking arts may lead to hand injuries. He would have got bonus points for recommending something like judo (which typically wrecks the knees rather than the hands).

"My chi is too highly developed to spar with the likes of you."

"All I need to do is go to a Dillman seminar every few months or so and I'm deadly."

And another thing. So what if the girl's wrists were sore. She is a girl and just started martial arts. That doesn't make her wuss. Not telling her that she might injure her hands which she uses for job like that makes that guy an asshole stuck in some macho bullshit.

The way you tell it, you make it sound like he went out of his way to hurt her though.
