Hand-to-Hand Combat & Self-Defense, Tuesday, Period 4

"First off, I want to apologize for my absence last week," Herc said at the beginning of this week's class. "I was unavoidably called away." To shout at members of the UN about how they couldn't rule out the possibility of a repeat threat just yet, so shuttering the Jaeger program would still be a very bad idea. Honestly, he would have rather been here. He didn't have the temperament for politics. "This week we're going to practice a simple kata, or form. The idea is to practice a series of movements until they're so ingrained in your muscle memory that you don't have to think about them, so that if you have to use them in a real fight your body will act without your brain really engaging. Your TAs will handwavily demonstrate, then I want you to pair up and critique each other. Let's get started."

Listen, pay attention to the handwavey demo, try to lure Max over for pettings, etc.

Alana had seen practice forms like this, though she'd ever heard the term kata before. She half paid attention while trying to beckon Max over.

Zeela was standing in the front of class today, almost daring Mr. Hansen to kick her out. She did her best to ignore Max, though, demonstrating what a good student she was.

Pair up and critique each other's movements.

Jessica knew this was going to be tough for her. She was an instinctual fighter to begin with, so she didn't put too much thought into most of her attacks. In order to do the katas correctly, she was going to have to think more than usual but still not too much.

[OOC: If anyone's open to practice fighting in about 6 hours!]

My apologies for last week. Four keys on my laptop stopped working entirely, it was kind of a disaster. I now have a temporary external keyboard, but I've ordered a new laptop and look forward to jettisoning this lemon into the sun as soon as the new hotness arrives.
