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.

"Here," Angel said.

Angel checks his gear. He's a big boy, so he has to be certain. The gloves are a little tight but he thinks he can deal with it.

Angel goes through a few warmups from various martial arts techniques that he knows. Anyone with a knowledgable eye would see that he knows what he's doing, but looks like he hasn't practiced in a while.

As he works Angel keeps his eye out for Duncan, hoping to get a chance to talk with him when he stops by.

Kara is no stranger to this type of gear, and it seems to fit pretty well.

Kara goes through the typical stretching routine she always does.

"Thanks. It's been a while," Angel said. He adjusted his movements for Duncan's suggestions. "And yeah. Sure. Was hoping to. Wanna set up an after class thread?"

Angel hung back after class was over. "Hi. Uh - glad to meet you, finally."

Han picks over the gear, unsure how any of it is supposed to fit. He keeps watching the others who seem to know.

Jack raised his hand. "I have no idea where to start. I'm clueless."

Angel grinned. "I'll work with you if you want."

Han stretchs, concentrating on arms and legs, still ginger around his torso.
