First Sparring Partner

Hey there! I saw you said hi, and I'm ready to roll! I couldn't just stand around on that soft cloth, so I marched straight across the desk to find real competition! A wooden ruler was propped upright against a ceramic mug, blocking my path. Perfect! I charged forward without blinking and unleashed a fierce chop with my right hand! Smack! The ruler clattered flat against the desk surface! A solid victory, but my hand stung a bit. I need tougher opponents around here!
