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

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!]

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

Ooh, you should beat Wes up. Definitely.

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."

Wesley stumbled back from the kick and tried to grab something to steady himself. He couldn't grab hold of anything, though, so he settled for leaning foeward and trying to catch his breath. Yeah, he had fighting skills, but he was rusty, and she was a freaking Slayer. He tried to retaliate with a sloppy punch, but gasping for air kind of threw off his aim.

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

And then, Faith can kick her ass for sure!

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

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.

"Impervious to damage, yes, but more importantly, it would protect you." Karla held up her hand, extending her snake tooth up from under her nail. "It's poisonous and if you're scratched, you'll die."

Possibly. Venom versus Slayer constitution. Kind of a toss up.

"I'm in full control of it, though I'd prefer to not take chances if I don't have to."

Affronted, Wes protested as he got to his feet, "My technique is not horrible. It's simply that you're a Slayer and I've no proper - " He rushed at her and tried to execute a complicated kick that actually sent him flying back onto the mats - " - defense," he finished weakly.
