First, but with nothing to say. That's why children in the sixth grade are... CHILDREN.
Hope you get to second base soon.
Obligatory on-topic post: Don't forget the (Kirk-patented) double foot kick that leaves you lying on the ground at the complete mercy of anyone who comes along. That's why they don't teach it in any real martial arts class.
(I shouldn't be so hard on 11 year olds. I remember looking around in kindergarden at the bully, the tattletail, the ass-kisser, the booger eating moron, and thinking "boy, I'll sure be glad when these folks grow up". I was young and naive so it took me years to figure out that they never would.)
