Defending Yourself [Monday, Period 1]

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

"So it's that time of year again, I take it," Max said with an unsympathetic (some might even call it wickedly amused) grin as the students settled into a Danger Shop simulation of a standard high school gymnasium. "Which actually gives us a great excuse opportunity to focus our thinking around self-defense on how to deal with needing to defend someone else as well as yourself, especially when they're in no position to defend themselves."

"While I understand that the usual inrush of tiny, adorable mess-makers was somewhat offset this year by some older arrivals, let's just focus on the former."

Which explained those bundles that looked suspiciously like the droid babies that got handed out in Ethics, complete with slings for carrying them. "I've handwavily divide you into two groups. Everyone's going to get a sling," and it's attendant droid baby, "then one group will take on the role of the aggressors, while the other will be defending. Defenders need to hold out for five minutes, keeping both themselves and their charges safe from the aggressors. Now, we don't want anyone getting hurt, so safe for you means staying on your feet. Safe for your charges means them not crying." And given how sensitive the droid babies were, that could pretty much be caused by being touched.

"After five minutes, we'll switch sides." And then they'd just switch back and forth for the whole class. "You've got five minutes to get ready. And discuss strategy if you want."
