Sword School - Tough Love

[insertnamehere]

While going about your day, have you ever witnessed a child throwing a fit because they didn't get any candy or a toy and the parents are just beside themselves not knowing how to deal with the situation? Well, practitioners of the Tough Love sword school do not have such worries because they know that their children wont behave in such a way and for good reason.

Originally developed by a Squat mother to manage her many children, The Tough Love school is all about instilling discipline and respect into those on the receiving end of it. That is why Intimidation is a key aspect because if all you need to do is threaten you'll hit them to stop their rowdy behavior, you are doing something right. However, others seem to think otherwise and schools and dojos that currently practice Tough Love are under the receiving end of a lawsuit by the children of Tough Love practitioners for aiding and abetting "child abuse", which is absolutely ridiculous!
