Fitness - Monday January 22nd - 3rd period
It had been a long weekend, and it showed on Yondaime’s face. He took a deep breath and forced it all down as he smiled brightly at the class. "Good Morning, I hope everyone’s weekend was uneventful," the blond chuckled. "This morning we are going to start off running through our first real lesson, which will be the basics of jujutsu. We’ll be running through it all this week and next so I’d like you to all come prepared for a work out. If you need to run to change please do so now, but I’d like you back in 15 minutes."
He continued once everyone had returned. "I decided to start us off with jujutsu because it covers a wide range of attacks and techniques that the other fighting styles expand from, including taijutsu from my home and the weapons work that we’re going to cover at the end of the semester. For today, we’re going to go over the basics of blocking and striking." Yondaime set down the quarterstaff and walked in front of the class, motioning for all of them to stand up.
"In jujutsu and most martial arts, the strike is also referred to as Atemi, a movement or attack designed to throw your opponent off balance in preparation to do a joint lock or a throw. Some strikes to vulnerable points of the body, however, can and are meant to injure. The point over all is to take your opponent down. You want to be able to capitalize on your opponent’s movements, looking for an opening to take them down, but at the same time defending your own vulnerable spots."
He clapped his hands with a bright smile. "Let’s warm up and then I want you to break into teams of two and watch my instruction, for blocking and attacking. We’re going to be spending the rest of the class just working on your own and practicing."
[Plz wait for OCD It's all yours.]
