Fighting with my Brother

Having more time now than I have in a long while, I have begun trying to be a real brother to my younger nodule (yes, that is one of his nicknames). So I have been helping him with his homework from time to time, and also generally spending more time with him. Recently I have been wrestling with him more, as he really needs to learn the basics of self defense and combat training. I had feared for a while that he was on the road to pacifism, but perhaps its just his age. I made this connection because he finds my weapons interesting, but never wishes to hold them or learn to use them. The best example of this is I bought him a practice sword form an Renaissance festival which he loves, he carries it around, but refuses to let me teach him how to use it. It has been hard for me in the past to interact with him, as he is twelve years younger than me. Recently however he has been open to learning small things about strategy and hand-to-hand combat when I give him pointers on things like the proper way to block and how to move. It's kinda fun, I suppose I feel like I am learning. I hope one day to do the same with my own children, but that is probably a long ways off as first I need a wife, and even before that, a stable relationship with a female not averse to a romantic relationship with me. Hahaha, I guess I'm just too much of a nice guy to get the girls, and too much of a jerk to take the ones I get...
