What NOT To Do In A Fight / Wednesday, Period III / Week 11

[atreideslioness]

"I apologize for not being here last week," Ghanima said once the class had assembled in the Danger Shop. "I had...family things which I had to attend to."

"Today, we are going to discuss the pros and cons of trying to include dancing into your fighting style."

"Being naturally graceful does not always translate to graceful fighting," Ghanima said, sitting down on the floor to begin stretching and warming up. "Hand-to-hand combat is often brutal, short, and wonderfully violent."

"There are styles that incorporate dance, such as Capoeira, or there's the drunken boxing. Some fights may even look like ballet, tango, syncronized like the DDR game at the arcade, or other dance.

"So everyone stretch out, today I'm going to teach you some basic tango steps."

Jalian watched, following both the spinning blades and Ghanima's movements carefully, but not interrupting.

Once she was done, Jalian gave her a little bow and asked, "Are the discs only for training with the scythes, or do you use them together as weapons, too?"

"These particular ones are for weapons training," Ghanima said, holding out a deactivated one for Jalian to examine. "They are mindless drones, their only ability to hunt live prey. They could not distinguish between me or my enemy."

Jalian nodded and took it, looking it over curiously. "These particular ones - there are others?"
