To enter the Sparrow nest

To enter the Sparrow nest,
With the intent to kill a Sparrow,
Is to put one's life in Danger,

There is a saying

It is said,
You may not like me,
But you will respect me,

Well,
Others may not like the Sparrow,
But they don't have to,

But they will respect the Sparrow,
If not, it will be their downfall,
As we know bushido as well as any Lion or the Tao as well as any Phoenix

The Dragon and the Phoenix monks

The Dragon monks,
Have their tattoes,
The Phoenix monks,
Have their riddles, and mysteries,
The Sparrow monks,
Have their patches,

The Armor and the Weapons of the Sparrow champion

Personally, I think a kevlar karate gi would be most apprioprate.  With the Sparrow mon back patch on the back.  Though a Lion patch by the heart, A turtle patch on the chest, a forest dragon patch on the shoulder, a Bull patch on the other shoulders.  Though it might be best to have it like a Demo gi with no lapel.  Though it might be best not to have any sleeves.  With a black belt to hold on the pants. 

Also the Earth Triplets, could be specially made to fit his hands.  As it is best for Sai's to be the length of one's forearms.  Also I find regular sai's not big enough for my hands.

Though I think that the Sparrow daimyo should wear kung fu bracelets on his arms.  This is as much as offense as it is for defense.

Also I think it best for the Sparrow Daimyo to carry a poisen kit in his armor.  That way, if anyone should attempt to posion him, he would have an antidote ready.  It is known that some other clans use these tactics.

Before a battle

Before a battle,
It is best,
To eat as little as possible,

A full belly,
Makes one slow,
Makes one,
Sleepy,

Also before going into battle,
One should pray,
Personally, my favorite is the creator,

Sparrow fighting doctrine

If the Sparrow are attacked,
It would be best to raid the enemies food supplies,
it would be better then killing twenty of their men,
As then they're bushi would be all the more weaker in battle,
Perhaps sharing it with our allies,
After all it most disasterous lost of face for our enemies,
To have others dine on their rations,
Perhaps if they get hungry enough,
They will go back to their own lands,

If I truly was your brother

The Akodo have a saying,
Every Dochi your brother,
If you truly were ever my brother Jamison,
Why does eyes only go skin deep,

If you were truly ever my brother Jamison,
Where were you when others sought my life?
Where were you when I was not given a fair trial?
Where were you when I was struggling to survive?

If I was ever truly your brother Jamison,
Could not your family make arrangements to have me trained?
If not in the Akodo or Matsu schools,
Perhaps in the Kitsu or Ikoma schools,

If truly I was ever your brother,
You would be happy that the honor the Sparrow have given to the Akodo,
If truly I was ever your brother,
You would have come talked to me when I was betrayed by the Scorpion,

If truly I was ever your brother,
You would see that an alliance with the Sparrow is a upset for the Lion,
That an alliance with the Sparrow brings honor to the Lion,
That truly this is in the best interests of the Lion,
