After James arrived, Yu Jung-ak's training became much easier. As a former elite athlete, James quickly picked up the steps and could perform them at a level similar to Hiroshi's, at least in terms of footwork.
Although he hadn't mastered the technique of switching stances, James was good at wrestling, making him an excellent sparring partner for Yu Jung-ak.
James' takedown defense was stronger than Hiroshi's.
"That's right, James. Throw a punch when Jung-ak approaches! Good!"
James had taken over the training that Jang Gil-su used to do. Simply put, James was allowed to attack, but Yu Jung-ak wasn't.
On the first day, James was completely defeated by Yu Jung-ak in wrestling and was shocked. The next day, when he was told that striking would be allowed, he gritted his teeth and went on the offensive. However, James had to taste frustration once again.
