Punching People and Not Breaking Your Hand: Fighting 101 - Period 5 - [06/02]

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Frowning slightly as he watched all the kids file in for class, Deadpool crossed his arms over his chest.

"So it seems we're not around France anymore. There go my plans to teach Savate and let you kick clowns..."

It was sad, really. Kicking clowns was excellent exercise. Good cardio.

"Instead, now that we seem to be vaguely South Pacific in that adorable Rogers and Hammerstein kinda way, I'll be showing you a few basic moves in Muay Thai. Because elbowing and kneeing people in the chest is so much more fun," He told them all cheerfully.

"There will be four basic moves to learn here. The elbow strike, the knee strike, hanuman and the flying knee." He squinted at them for a moment. "And no, these aren't going to be done on each other. I'd rather not get punched by the principal if I can help it. Sure, she's got that MILF thing working for her now, but it's just bad form to toss you all in a room to have a battle royale..."

Deadpool sighed dreamily.

"...Maybe someday." Shaking his head, Deadpool snapped out of it. "Partner up to help each other with form and try these on the punching bags. They usually don't hit back and now that I've said that we're doomed to being attacked by them for the beret thing."

He shook his head.

"I've been training in defense with Ino practically since I came here, but we've never done any hitting, really. Before that, the only time I ever learned anything was from the soldiers stationed down the hill from us and that was ages ago."

He sped it up again, still not touching the bag. Another time.

Then he nodded to Gwen before actually hitting the bag with a rather good shot.

She moved only slightly when the bag was hit and then she smiled. "That was good hit."

"Thank you."

He hit it again, with one of the different ones.

"What other courses are you taking?"

"I'm taking this one and Aly's blending in class. How about you?"

"I'm also in Professor Alianne's blending class. And the courtly dance class she took over.

"The last is the vacationing class that Doctor is teaching. That's been interesting."

"I didn't sign up for a lot this term, but those two classes seemed pretty interesting when I read the descriptions. Are you enjoying them?"

Re: Practice Hitting!

"A great deal," he said, Not Thinking about certain things.

"And yourself? I'm assuming from the familiarity that you've taken one of Professor Alianne's classes before?"

Gwynn smiled. "I enjoy her classes quite a lot."

"I wonder if she's teaching for the second half of the summer...," he mused aloud.

Re: Practice Hitting!

"I hope so. I like her because she knows what she's talking about and she doesn't seem..." Gwynn frowned as she tried to recall the correct word. "Pretentious. She isn't lording her knowledge over her students, but instead shares it."

"I can certainly appreciate that."

His voice held some note which seemed to convey the fact that he was used to the former.

"I'm not fond of people who do otherwise. It's what ruins things."

Re: Practice Hitting!

"I can certainly relate to that," he admitted with another hit to the bag.

A little harder than the others.
