Multi-Disciplinary Self Defense

Duncan has the practice knives out again.

"Nope. I don't let students do anything. If you don't do the move right, you don't get the results. Soft pedalling is setting you up to fail later, and that's something I won't do." His tone is not harsh but definitely serious.

Ivanova raises an eyebrow at such a serious answer to her light-hearted question. "An admirable man, Mr. MacLeod." She grinned. "Anything else you can show me?"

Now that she wasn't sick or bone-tired, she was . . . frighteningly perky.

Wide grin. "I'm sure I can think of more sneaky things..." He thinks a moment then demonstrates a three move combination slowly, then quickly. The sort of thing to set your opponent up in the first two moves if they react instead of planning and then get them in the third move. "Your turn..."

With narrowed eyes, Ivanova tried to follow. She got the first two moves, but slipped on the last and ended up on her back. She rolled to her feet, shaking it off. "Let me try it again," she said pugnaciously.

"Sure." He moved to offer her a hand at first but stepped back to let her get up on her own. He resumes the attacker stance to let her whomp on him.

Ivanova paused before she tried the move. If Duncan knew her, he might be a little worried at the expression on her face. She moved the combination, but finished it off with a twist that she had picked up from Marcus. A rather painful twist, if she had done it correctly.

His knife goes flying. He stops to shake his arm, but he's also clearly pleased with her. "That is great!"

She grins at him. "Thanks. I picked it up from the Anla-shok - the Rangers, to us humans." She notices him shake his arm, and asks, concerned, "I didn't hurt you, did I? Too badly, at least?"

"It stings, but I'm fine. Whoever they are, I think I like them already."

"Most of them aren't bad," she replies. "I'm working on getting my hands on a particular weapon they use - this staff that expands from about this big," she holds her hands about five inches apart. "They manage to do some serious damage with it. I'm hoping for a care package."

"Hmm. I'm thinking staves and kendo sometime in the upcoming weeks. Is this something you already have experience with?"

Ivanova held up her hands. "Strictly as an observer. To be honest, I'm not much good with a knife, either. Hand-to-hand or ranged weapons for me. And most of my hand-to-hand experience comes from some rather interesting parties."
