Meditation and the Art of Kicking Ass [August 28, 2014, 2nd period]
Anakin had contacted his class and told them to dress comfortably for class, then given them directions to the Danger Shop. Anakin had programmed it to look like the gym (without hogging the gym in case any other students had a sudden need to hit things) and was waiting for the students to arrive, sitting on the mats in his Jedi tunic and pants. He'd left the robe in his office.
After gesturing for the students to join him on the mat he began. "I'm Anakin Skywalker," he said. "I'm the Dean of Students in addition to teaching the class on meditation and, well, ass-kicking. In my galaxy, the ability to clear your head is linked with hand-to-hand combat. When you are free of the noise in your head, you are able to concentrate more fully on your opponent. Now, I normally don't do introductions, but today I'll make an exception because I need to know both about your experience in meditation and in hand-to-hand combat, and that's not something I can judge immediately by how you sit on the mats here."
He smiled, a brief upturn of his lips. "Before I began teaching here, almost ten years ago now, I was a Jedi Knight in my home galaxy. I've been trained in meditation and hand-to-hand combat since I was ten, and I was considered one of the best warriors of our Order."
And then he'd become a Sith Lord, which was more on the "choking people" and less on the "physical exertion" but he wasn't mentioning that part. "And since coming to Fandom, I've fought any number of bizarre creatures, including dinosaurs, and so I can assure you that hand-to-hand combat, with and without weapons, will be useful here."
He pointed to the student to his left. "You go first. Name and any experience you have in either meditation techniques or hitting things really hard."

Re: Talk to Anakin!
proving I have one girl who can be polite. "But I guess I should make sure up front--are using powers encouraged in this class? Or prohibited? Mine isn't something I can easily turn off, but I can try?"
