The Art of Pacifism; Monday, Second Period [04/06].
The students might assume something was up the moment they saw the sign on the classroom door that was distinctly lacking in hearts...or really disctinctly lacking in much of anything at all except for one single word:
GYM.
And, when they arrived at the gym, they would find a very different curly-haired instructor than their usual one waiting for them, and definitely no cocoa. Just a lot of mats and an irritated presence.
"So," Rosa started, "apparently, don't ever agree to help out with someone's class, because, if you do, the moose in the office thinks you're a good substitute teacher for that class, despite the moose in the office being the direct focus of many threats that prove you are quite possibly the least pacifist person on the entire staff."
Well, that might be a stretch, but, honestly, if you thought about it? Rosa put in a pretty good run for that title. The competition was pretty fierce, though.
"Anyway," she said, "I don't believe in pacifism, like, at all, I think it's dumb and this whole class is just a waste of your time or a good way for you to wind up getting your ass kicked by someone someday, but I hate dealing with that stupid moose, and so here we are. And I'm going to teach you some self-defense moves you can use when you reach that point where you realize that pacifism is dumb because it's a good excuse for someone to just kick your ass, and it's more direct than that Aikido stuff we did the other week. So, pay attention. I'm only going to go over this once."
That was very untrue, she would definitely break it down if needed, but Rosa figured that, by saying as much, it would lessen the chance that any of them bothered her about it any more than necessary.

Listen to the Lecture - AoP, 04/06.
The Hammer Strike, with a tip to not use your nails and maybe use your keys if you want to really dig into some jerk's face.
The Groin Kick, because who doesn't love a good kick in the groin?
The Heel Palm Strike, which should be focused on getting an attacker in his throat, nose, or ears.
The Elbow Strike, especailly if you're one of those people with weirdly sharp elbows. You know who you are!
Alternative Elbow Strike, because the elbow is very useful in a variety of different positions.
And technically, it's hard to show off the Escapes with a dummy but they sort of covered something similar in the Aikido class, so...you know...just do that. Or Rosa can show you personally if you're interested in getting more into detail on that.
And, despite her claims that she'd only go over it once, she finished the demonstration off with a puff of air to get the hair out of her eyes and asked, "Any questions?"
Class Activity: Practice Self-Defense - AoP, 04/06.
You can try with one of the dummies and have Rosa criticize your form, or you can pair up with a classmate and have Rosa criticize your form. Rosa can also go over things with you personally, if you want a closer demonstration or an expert to work off of, but, don't worry. She will definitely criticize your form if you do that, too.
Talk to Rosa - AoP, 04/06.
No, she does not care.
Yes, she will happily continue to teach his class if it means that he's actually gone.
