Multi Disciplinary Self Defense

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

MacLeod waits at the gym.

"Okay, stretch out and warm up first. Raise your hand if you want to learn something new for your routine, or if you're having trouble with any part of it."

He lets everyone get warmed up and then gets out a wooden chest holding staves of various lengths and weights. "Okay. Try some of these out. Basic strikes." He demonstrates a simple strike. "Just test the weight and balance. See what works best for you. Everyone's different."

He lets the students figure out their preferences, going around correcting as needed. When that part is finished, he's back to the front with his own staff. "Mirror." He demonstrates and calls off drills for the rest of the class period before cool down.

"Okay, next time we'll try pairing off. If you want, you're welcome to stay after and practice."

"Professor MacLeod? I was wondering if you'd sign this drop form for me." Vala smiled at him. "It's not that I don't like the class, but the mun I just took on too much this semester and I'm thinking maybe I could take it next year instead?"

Re: Attendance

"No problem. Let me know for next year, and I can give you priority on the list."

Warm up

"If you need help, raise your hand."

Re: Warm up

Buffy starts doing her usual routine of warm-ups.

Re: Warm up

Cameron does his usual warm up excercises.

Angel went through a few rounds of Tai Chi. He looked as though he could really use a good reason to settle his thoughts.

Re: Warm up

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Sawyer does the usual warm ups.

Drills

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

"Ask me to slow down or repeat if you didn't get that. Better to ask now than learn it wrong and have to unlearn it."

Re: Drills

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

Buffy follows MacLeod on the drills.

Re: Drills

Cameron follows the drills. At least he's less sore now and he might actually be getting the hang of this.

Re: Drills

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I'm happy to go through the drills," Angel said with a slight grin, "but if you expect me to watch myself in a mirror that's gonna be hard."

Re: Drills

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Following Macleod, Sawyer does the drills and is nearly out of breath by the time they're done. He needs to start working out more often.

Re: Drills

Jack focuses carefully. There are a few moments when the movements start to feel natural, but mostly he's just trying to play catchup to the teacher's movements.

After class

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

"Okay, anyone who wants to go over things, I'll be here. Otherwise, see you on Wednesday."

Re: After class

[forlornslayer.livejournal.com]

Buffy stops by after class to talk to MacLeod. "Sir, about what I was asking you about being my being in need of a Watcher? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watcher_%28Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer%29)"
