Up and at 'em

"Okay, let's warm up and get working. Drills today. Play nice with the knives." He gestures to a set of practice knives. He waits for people to pick them up, then demonstrates basic moves for drills.

Angel picked up his practice knives and went through the drills. He was better at this than some of the swordwork he'd been doing with Duncan in the last class.

While on a normal day, some part of Ivanova would be jumping up and down and cooing, "Ooooh, shiny *and* pointy." That part was currently heavily under the influence of cold medicine and was sleeping through today's class. Still, she made a valiant effort.

Jack grins when he sees knives. Now this is more like it. He picks them up, then kind of stands there, because he hasn't the faintest clue what to do.

"Hold like this." He demonstrates. "The move for this drill..." More demo. "Keep in mind, a knife is used for slashing in a fight, not stabbing. If you leave the weapon *in* someone, you're disarmed."

Vala's mun doesn't actually have a knife icon... woe! picks up the knives and tries to get a bit of a feel for them before starting in on the drills. It had been a while since she'd worked with anything but her fists or a Zat gun.

Sawyer warmed up a bit before picking up the practice knives, he's never really used knives before, maybe when threatened at school or something but not for real fighting purposes. He copies Macleod's basic moves, catching on pretty easily.
