Matt looks disdainfully at the jump ropes, but sets into the calisthenics with relatively easy confidence.  He's not very fast, and certainly not very strong, but he paces himself well and doesn't tire easily.  The kendo club sign-up doesn't interest him, so he sets himself up with the other nerds of the class.  He's not really much friendlier with them than with anyone else, but they do make him look better by contrast.
