I will start with the first one. Punctuality. A training partner that arrives on time, shows reliability and respect (OK maybe that was 3 qualities). Someone that is respectful and reliable will usually be a safer training partner (4?). Someone that you can trust (5? Who's counting?). That trust factor is key to any relationship. Together as a group you will be able to accomplish more, benefit more and grow more (in this case as a stickfighter). Just a thought.
