Self Defense and Kickassery for Dummies; Thursday Fourth Period [2nd. Class]

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

One by one the students would be dropping by on their nicely simulated dojo, only to find Faith already there, stretching. Well, at least it was better than to be greeted by a completely uninterested glance. This time as well she kept it quiet until the time for her class actually started as well; students would notice she was going through the simple kata they had been doing the last class. Being as unresourceful as she was with words, she wasn't about to misuse the few ones she had prepared beforehand; she had prepared her speeches before every class, obviously -even if she had really gotten some unfinished rantings and vague concepts written down before giving up on the idea-. Still, each student would get a small nod as a greeting, and then ordered to sit quietly on the tatami -no chairs this time, but the padded floor was pretty comfortable-, or to stretch as well; as long as they remained silent, it was fine for her.

Once the time for the class to start actually arrived, she got the group sitting in the tatami, and cleared her throat.

"And now it's time for class number two; I expect you have been training all this time."

She didn't, actually, but it was fun to make them feel guilty.

"Last time we got into the basics, and saw our first kata; was it hard? Simple? You think you can take something stronger? At least for those without experience, the approach was probably a pain in the ass." Faith smirked. "That was the idea, but for I got to see you all are more or less familiar with martial arts, which is a still kind counts no matter how little real time experience you have ever had." Oh Faith, you were such a bad, bad person. "Anyway, this second class was thought to be focused entirely on learning a new kata, but come on, you didn't sign into this class to do the same stuff all the time. So, while we will be seeing another kata indeed, and I promise this one will be more of a challenge, perhaps, I'll also test your overall fighting skills; one by one I'll be having a one-on-one with you." Malicious smiles ensued here as Faith walked around the group. "This won't be a real fight, and I'll be letting you land some attacks on me, actually, but this will serve for me to be able to point your weak spots, so you can keep them in mind if you ever need to defend yourselves. The TA is not exempt of this little excercise." Why hello, Wes, Faith was smiling at you.

[OCD, wait for it is up!]

Karla started with the simpler kata, moving slowly into the more difficult ones as her muscles warmed and loosened.

Kurt did his best. Sure, he was vaguely familiar with the basics, but... Well, trying the middle kata showed just how little attention he'd been paying to Logan.

Also, he hadn't been practicing.

Still, he tried.

Re: Warm Up/Class Excercise

Momoko had practiced while she was at home, not that she'd had a choice when Kaoru found out about the class, so her kata were actually improving.

The simple ones. She was going to try the middle ones in a minute, really!

One on One with Faith

Ping and wait for the pain do your best!

Wesley did not exactly want to fight a Slayer. Unlike most people, he knew exacly what Slayers could do in a fight and knew that he would very likely lose limbs. He was proud and all that, but he was also smart and very fond of being in one piece. Also, he just liked disagreeing with Faith. So he crossed his arms over his chest and announced, "I am not going to fight you."

Re: One on One with Faith

Faith did not care about Wes' desires. So right after he had spoken, she rushed at him, jumping and sending a kick right at the middle of his chest. She knew he had fighting skills, so she wanted to see if he was good enough to avoid getting hit, or stand the kick.

She also wanted to beat the crap out of a Brit, and she sort of liked Giles.

Karla stepped forward at her turn, trying not to show how reluctant she felt. "With your permission, I'd like to keep my right hand shielded," she said quietly, just loud enough for Faith to hear.

Re: One on One with Faith

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

Faith's head tilted inquisitively. "What would that mean? Would it made it harder, more resistant, stronger, or just impervious to damage?" Because a shield could mean all that stuff, and more.

Kurt crouched low, watching Faith nervously. "Go easy on me?"

Re: One on One with Faith

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

He crouched. That was interesting. "It's just sparring. Come on, attack me. Don't be shy; I need to know what you can do."

Re: One on One with Faith

[heromaniac]

Momoko took a deep breath, then stepped forward. She was getting used to sparring with Dinah, so she had some idea of what to do, but she was totally going to wait for a prompt from Ms Faith before starting anything.

Talk to Faith

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

Once class is over, if you feel like talking to her. Like, ever again.

Talk to the TA

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

When he pings in!

Re: Talk to the TA

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Wes entered the classroom, resigned to Really Really Hating the afternoon. "If anyone has any questions... oh, bugger it," he said weakly.

OOC

[notagoodslayer.livejournal.com]

College is sucking my will to live.

I here, but might be slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Still! OOC for oocly needs! Here is where you tell me how badly you want Faith to kick your kid's ass. Or no ass kicking at all. It's up to you, really.

Re: OOC

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you should beat Wes up. Definitely.

Re: OOC

[glacial_queen]

Karla is going to get trounced, I'm sure. Unless she forgets and uses Craft.

And then, Faith can kick her ass for sure!

Re: OOC

[heromaniac]

Momoko can be beaten up :) She's limber and has extra strength and is learning hand-to-hand, so she'll put up a small fight but that's it. She won't transform since she's trying to learn this skill for Momoko.

*prepares pain patches and ice packs for her*
