Multi-Disciplinary Self Defense

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

Duncan has kendo staves and wooden swords.

"Okay, we'll drill a bit more with staves, but I wanted you to see what we're working toward. And that is, what a piece of wood can do against a blade." He grins fiercely.

"Anyone who knows their way around a sword willing to volunteer a bit?"

Han's here, with a doctor's note. He still looks pretty pale.

He gets a concerned look. "You want to observe, or read a book on this stuff?"

Swords and Staves

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

One step closer to sharp things, whoo hoo!

Angel smirked. "I'd volunteer for sword but I'm leery of accidents with sharp wooden things."

Jack hefts the stave and remembers the lesson in swordfighting Dr. Pierson gave him. He knew the five defensive positions. He hadn't learned offensive yet, but he worked through the defensive positions.

Despite having been in the fencing club the previous semester and at his old school, for some reason Cameron had flunked. Maybe because he never showed up for meetings. He does pick up a sword and starts practicing.

Having missed last week, Kara picks up a stave and tries to get a feel for it.

Susan picks up a sword. It's heavier than what she's used to with Grandad's sword, but the grip and heft is familiar.

Sawyer has never come in contact with a sword, he picks it up and it's mighty heavy.

"I'd like to work with Cam today if that's all right with you, sir," Angel said.

"It is by me," Cameron replied as he stepped up beside Angel.

Ivanova got about halfway into the first form of the first drill when her body declared mutiny. Her knee led the rebellion with fierce cries of, 'Death to verticality!', and her shoulder joined in with the rather more simple chant of, 'Pain! Pain! Pain!'. She dropped the stave with a hiss. "Sir? Can I sit this one out?" she asked through gritted teeth.

Re: Drills

[mrdmacleod.livejournal.com]

He hastens over to offer an arm to help get her to a seat. "Damn right. What'd you do to your knee?" He sits her down, and he starts examining the knee impartially and professionally.

Re: Drills

He decides to practice a bit by swinging it around like he saw in the movies or something. He hopes he doesn't look like an idiot.

OOC

Just to start the OOC--I'm on AIM and will be tomorrow night too; sometimes for me it's easier to play things out over IM, so holler if you wanna.
