Self-Defense, Thursday late afternoon, 4pmish

Having sent a ~~*handwavey*~~ e-mail to everyone that Self-Defense was meeting early, Parker made sure the mats were laid out, and that nacho dip and chips and drinks were on a nearby table. She raised one sardonic eyebrow as people filed in.

"Hey. Alanna's sick, still. Or at least really not up to sparring with you guys. So she asked me to fill in, at least on getting you set up. Mr. Winchester might be a little late, he has office hours before this." She smirked. "Just be glad I'm not usually in charge of this club."
all
She went through a few Aikido moves-- the first four throws, holds, and breaking of the same-- pointing out that many Japanese police officers are required to learn some Yoshinkan Aikido in the performance of their job.

"Pair up, and see how these techniques work for you."

[ocd ~~going~~ up. Parker knows Aikido. I don't.]

...

If you ask Parker, she'll demonstrate it again. Once.

...

...who will probably be running late.

Parker's not much for instruction, unless it's guns. Just so you know.

William Kessler

Billy bounced on his toes, stretching his arms behind his head. It might look a bit like he was trying to get someone's attention, but it was just getting energy up and stretching. Honest. He looked around for a sparring partner.

Door

Teddy Altman

Teddy was also pretty bouncy. He was feeling much more confident about fighting people now. He approached Billy, "Hey, want to partner up?"

Pip Bernadette

Pip went slowly throught the moves to practice them as he kept an eye out for a sparring partner.

"yeah sounds good."

Teddy grinned. "Excellent. You want to try those moves on me first?"

"Sure. REady?"

Teddy took a better stance and nodded.

Seely Booth

Billy nodded back, then grabbed, and though he hadn't done this in a while, his muscles remembered how, he then tossed.

Teddy landed hard on his back and let out a surprised yelp. He looked up at Billy. "Way too fast for me. Try that again at half the speed so I can actually see it happen?"

"Actually that would be a bad idea." Billy said. "When it comes to tosses and things like that, you get hurt worse going slow than at full speed."

~~mun does not know the physics of it but has talked to someone who's done that kind of thing and at half speed it went bad~~

"Okay then," Teddy said, picking himself up off the floor. "Try something else?"

"Or you could get even, try it on me. I promise not to cheat and land on my feet."

Door does ask, but not because she wasn't paying attention the first time. Just because this is something that looks like it could be perfect for someone shorter than... pretty much everyone she's ever going to encounter who might not wish her well.

"Could you show me that first throw again, Parker? The one with the elbow and wrist?"

Parker blinked that someone was talking to her, then shrugged. "Sure. Okay, one hand on the elbow," she put hers on Door's, "one near the wrist. Not too high up, or the balance is off. You've got a good stance, and this takes less upper body strength than usual. So far, so good?"

Teddy grinned at that. "I'll hold you to that." He took a deep breath before doing anything. Then he did his best to copy what Parker had shown them, making sure to not use too much strength.
