Karate, Gym, June 28th, Wednesday Morning

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

"Morning, everyone," Tommy greets. "Today's lesson is going to be on the Squirrel style." He gestures to a table at the front of the room, upon which are laid out several different kinds of weapons (practice weapons, of course. nothing live here.)- both traditional and, well... not. There's also a row of practice dummies set up at one end of the room.

"The Squirrel style is all about using whatever you can pick up at the time," Tommy explains. "Sometimes, you may have a sword, or other conventional weapon. Sometimes... you may not," he says, as he picks up a set of measuring cups and whips towards a practice dummy.

[ooc: handwave whatever you want to find to use as a weapon!]

Practice/Talk!

Pair up and practice against each other, or throw stuff at a dummy. Feel free to chat while doing so.

Phoebe needed a partner. Preferably someone who would give her a good workout and not pull back because she was a girl.

Pip nodded to Phoebe. "Bonjur."

Re: Practice/Talk!

Phoebe smiled. "Hey, Pip. Feel like working with me?"

This? Is totally Pip's thing. He's taught people this, he's got manuals on this, he's learned a fighting style centered around this.

The great Squirrely spirit must have called to him when he picked his cabin.

Currently, he's whipping plastic toy action figures at the dummies at high speeds.

Peter stretched out, trying to ignore the fact he was completely stiff. He looked around at the scattered makeshift weapons and grinned. It wasn't really his preferred type of fighting, but he couldn't argue with the philosophy behind it.

Tyler grabs a fistful of pens and starts throwing them at a dummy, tryiong to get the points to embed.

"Pen warfare," Bob said from his spot on the sidelines of class. "Is that a new technique you plan to teach us?"

"No. No. No new techniques," Tyler grunted out as he kept throwing pens. His shaking hands made his accuracy pretty poor.

Lyta glances at the various "makeshift weapons." In the spirit of the style, she picks up an acorn. Using both her best pitching arm and her mental abilities, she sends it sailing into what would be the eye of the mannequin. The sharp point impales itself briefly before falling to the ground. She repeats this procedure on the other eye, and pelts the mannequin in other places.

Bester walks a wide circle around herself and the targeted mannequin. "You can't even fight someone without your abilities, can you?" he says, grinning. His gloved hands are clasped behind his back as he pauses, regarding her.

Lyta's accuracy improves. And this time, the acorn doesn't fall from the eye. "Shut up," she mutters through clenched teeth.

Normally this kind of class would perk Dean right up -- it was much closer to the type of fighting he was used to than the more stylised forms they'd been taught in class so far.

But normally his head didn't feel four times its normal size and normally nobody had turned the volume up on everything to ear piercing and the light to blinding. Somehow a fighting class first didn't seem like that great an idea right now.

But here he was, alive and... alive.

He moved slowly and gingerly, half afraid his head would fall off if he moved any faster as he looked over the selection of weapons and potential weapons available.

The whole absurdity of the style actually amuses Sakurazaki today; the steady practise with an actual sword definately helped determine this rare reaction. She picks herself out a nice, round serving tray. It was important to continue working on her long distance attacks. She launches it at a practise dummy like a boomerrang, except that it doesn't come back, so she's quite often running back and forth to retrieve it.

Demyx summoned his sitar out of the air, and proceeded to attack one of the dummies with water clones.

Splashed. He sighs. In girl form after a pretty long hiatus from it. Oh well. "Watch those waterworks will ya?"

Re: Practice/Talk!

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Watch yourself!" Demyx called back, grinning and entirely unrepentant.

Re: Practice/Talk!

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded to Demyx. "I think the idea was to use the objects close at hand. Not all of us can make weapons out of thin air."

As two Zs battled each other with a cast iron skillet and a beanie baby--the Z with the cast iron skillet was, understandably, doing better--a third Z whipped CDs at a dummy, chakram frisbee-fashion.

"Hey, Rob Thomas! I've heard of this guy!"

John warms up and looks for apartner that won't rip his armoff.

Hey, shoe-chuks!

Dr Tommy!

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

Talk to him here.

Re: Dr Tommy!

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe just had t know.

"Sir, is there a Koala style, too?"

Re: Dr Tommy!

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

"Actually? Yes." Tommy grins. "I'm just sorry there won't be enough time to teach it to you guys. It's quite a formidable style."

OOC!

[dr-tommy.livejournal.com]

Today's lesson sucks on account of I lost the original version of what I wrote and had to think this up last-minute.
