Q: BetaMax
The start of the violin portion of the Batman opening theme song played, softly, but growing louder, as YHC slowly and articulately relayed the F3 mission, core principles, and proclaimed that I am not a professional.
The theme of the beatdown was superheroes (normal exercise) and their sidekicks (modified option for the bruisers)

COT
Just as the superhero sidekicks sometimes become the main superhero (e.g. Sam Wilson / Falcon becomes Captain America or Dick Grayson/Robin becomes Nightwing), younger men should seek out a mentor to learn from. Apprentice and tradecraft jobs are not the traditional path for vocations, but they are wildly successful, because each apprentice learns under a skilled tradecraft master.
