Multi-Disciplinary Self Defense, 7th Period

Duncan stands at the front of the classroom. He looks much more serious than has been usual for gym class. He seems already stretched out and limber. Large mats have been lain out on the floor. Several punching bags have been added. A trunk in one corner holds padded safety gear, including helmets.

“Okay, first things first. I’ll read off the class roster, and you raise your hand when I say your name. Angel. Vala Mal Doran. James Ford. Susan Ivanova. Jack Harkness. Cameron Mitchell. Han Solo. Susan Sto Helit. Buffy Summers. Kara Thrace .”

After that is done, he stands at the front of the group. “I want you to take a look through the safety gear. Pick helmets and padding, both for close fighting and fencing. Also, a glove for you to trade off taking punches. Make sure these things fit. If they don’t, I’ll see about ordering new ones once we have you measured. Everybody needs these. I don’t care how good you are, make sure you have fitting ones.” He waits for everyone to choose their gear.

“These go in a locker. Within reasonable limits, I want you to care for your gear. If you need repairs, though, talk to me.”

"Attendance is required. You can't learn if you aren't here *regularly*. If you aren't going to be here, don't waste my time and yours. Detention will be assessed for every unexcused absence."

“For this class, we go a unit at a time, starting with hand to hand. We’ll do a bit of fencing later in the semester, and knife fighting, provided people are interested, with practice weapons.”

“First part of the class goes over technique. Second part is open sparring. If you like, you can stay on late for the second part to go longer. The TA position is still open. If you are interested, talk to me after class. I’ll select one or two TAs depending on the skill levels of those applying.”

“Start off with stretching and warming up. If you have your own routine for that, I want to see it. If you don’t, raise a hand.”


OOC: Please note that I have a stiff schedule, and I understand that you might also. I leave posts open for at least two days for attendance.

Han takes the shoulder swing but catches the midsection jab and twists her wrist. He hooks his forward foot behind her advancing leg and tried to pull it out from under her. If he does it right, this will send her to the ground. If he's wrong, she's gonna get him.

Kara isn't stupid, he won't get her that easy. Kara kicks up her forward foot into Han's crotch.

Not stupid himself, Han catches her thigh with his hand and yanks up to the side.

"Dirty fighting." He has a half-psycho-looking smile on his face.

He lets go of her wrist and goes for a grip in her hair, knowing that as the head goes so goes the whole body.

Without a second thought, Kara reacts on instinct and rears back, putting her body weight behind a punch. She sends her knuckles right into his jaw.

He sees it and barely rolls with it, still going down, but not breaking anything.

From the floor, he makes sure she didn't dislocate him and grins up at her. "Toldja."

"Frak you, asshole," says Kara, giving him a disgusted look. "I suggest you find another partner from now on."

She walks off to her locker, removing her gear as she goes.

Han can feel the bruise forming. She could throw a punch. He'd be picking up teeth if he'd been slower.

Not sure what he'd said, he stands back up. Sheesh, all he'd done was tell her the truth.

[OOC: Dude. If the toughass warrior chicks can take a hit every now and then, Han can suck it up and take a hit from one of 'em. Just sayin'.]

[[He took it, just not all of it. Not letting her break his jaw, but he's gonna bruise.]]
