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.

"Yeah, saw that," Angel said. He rubbed the back of his neck thoughtfully. "You know, I can work with Kara if you want. I know she got hurt recently and - " he gave an apologetic look " - years of being a sadist mean I know how not to hurt people too. As for Solo, have you thought about pairing him up with Buffy? She knows how to handle herself and something tells me he could use a lesson or twelve in how to respect women."

"Bet you Buffy'd love to help," Angel said. "As for me, use me where you want me. And teach me whatever you want too. I don't suppose we could work some actual weapons work in there? Last time I held a sword I was fighting off this really big dog thing in 327. I'll need to do better than that if I'm going to be in shape by the time I get home."

"Excellent." Angel stood up. "Thanks. Uh - what should I call you?"

[ooc: Feel free to have Angel leave after he knows the answer to that =) ]
