Ten san heard that I was updating ThTG and he was so enthused that he offered me an exclusive interview. I learned a lot from ten san during our chat. We have even agreed to train together!

Tenshin han's Training Ground: Should I call you Mr. Han?

Tenshin han: (chuckling) Just call me Ten san.

ThTG: Okay then, Ten san, how did you begin your martial arts training?

Ten san: I'd always wanted to train in martial arts, and when I was young, I ran across Tsurusennin. He said that he'd train me if I did some dirt for him, and I agreed, not knowing what I was getting myself into. Don't get me wrong, the training was excellent, but stealing is not my cup of tea.

ThTG: You are One of the strongest humans on the planet. Do you attribute this to Tsurusennin's training?

Ten san: Not really. He taught me the techniques, but I trained hard and continually made myself stronger. I sense that you have a fairly high power level also.

ThTG: I've been known to practice a little martial arts now and then.

Ten san: We should train together sometime.

ThTG: No doubt. I look forward to it. I gotta warn ya though - I train hard.

Ten san: (grinning) I think I can handle it.

Keep watch for part two of this interview!
