Hand-to-Hand Combat and Self-Defense, Tuesday

[notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com]

Raleigh was in front of the class today with Max, but Herc was nowhere in sight.

"There was a last minute thing back home that Mr. Hansen had to do," Raleigh said. It was PPDC business, not that Raleigh had been told, though. "Which means we're on our own for class today. We're going to go over the basics of self defense that everyone can use."

There was even a fun hand out for everyone to look over! Check that out!

"Step one is to be aware of your surroundings," Raleigh said. "Is the area not so great? You're probably going to want to be more vigilant then. Step two is being loud when someone comes after you. Shout stuff."

Like encouragement. Maybe your next attack. You know. Normal stuff.

"And three, go for the weak spots on the body. Nose, eyes, throat, groin--" That one got a wince. "--knees and shins. If someone is attacking you, you can't be afraid to do them enough damage to get to safety."

He smiled brightly. "Okay, how about you guys pair off and go over a few moves on the worksheet?"

"Good idea," Alana agreed. She wasn't especially muscular, but she still suspected she could break Mordin. "If you can get away, you don't need the rest of it. Well, if you're lucky, anyhow."

If you weren't lucky, you'd be dead before any amount of self-defense training could make a difference. But Alana wasn't thinking too far down that path right then.

She held up her arms. "Want to grab me first?"

"Certainly." Mordin placed the worksheet on the floor and reached out towards Alana, grabbing at her wrist.
