The point, as in all fights, is to test oneself and one's opponent! If one intends to ever enter battles with lives on the line, one must know oneself, one's capabilities and limits, to their utmost. The only way to know these capabilities and limits is to have been pushed to them, and thus every fight, even one such as this, becomes a fight for the knowledge that may save yourself and your comrades.
Every fight is not only against one's opponent, but against oneself! You must know if your arms cannot lift a certain weight, if your legs will collapse after a certain effort, if your heart will not bear with you against a certain amount of fear! For if you do not know these things about your body, then one day your body's failings will be the end of you or your friends. A warrior's weaknesses are their deadliest enemy! So, when a true warrior trains, they train like they mean it! And when they fight, even if one of their opponents is only a friend helping them to learn about themselves, then still they must fight with all their strength against the other deadly enemy who is always with them!
Which means that EVERY FIGHT IN WHICH YOU DO NOT TRAIN, LEARN ABOUT OR TEST YOURSELF is ONE IN WHICH YOU HAVE LOST. And if you did not put forth your full effort, you are BOTH LOSERS.
CHOP already had the notion that the instructor could teach those who lack the time or inclination to become TRUE WARRIORS. It is clear to Chop, however, that CERTAIN PEOPLE in these caverns had begun to wonder if this lesser training would also be capable of creating TRUE WARRIORS, and that therefore if it would be possible to NOT TRAIN WITH CHOP. It was the intention of CHOP to make it clear that this is not the case.
Also Chop was OFFENDED THAT ALL THIS TOOK PLACE WITHOUT CHOP'S INFORMATION OR CONSENT. The instructor could have MET WITH CHOP AND HAD THIS LESSER TRAINING PLAN APPROVED WITHOUT ALL THESE SHENANIGANS, and the fact that CERTAIN PEOPLE went BEHIND HIS MIGHTY BACK indicates both their GUILT and their LACK OF RESPECT.
