"Alright. Here, come here and put some gear on." [b][i]She said, as she asked over to the center of the room. She had gestured to some of the gear like that she had worn, not taking it off herself yet. The arm coverings could only be seen on the upper arms and her upper legs due to the gear as she waited for Star to put on her own.[/i][/b]
English
-
Star went over and quickly strapped on the gear, smiling afterwards and knocking on it. "Nice. I guess safety first, eh?"
-
[b][i]The gear was decent quality, durable but also somewhat comfortable. There was a set that was a decent size for Star there fortunately.[/i][/b] "Yeah. Just having opened this place recently, don't want to have someone suing me over a broken jaw." [b][i]She said jokingly, laughing a bit[/i][/b]
-
"Makes sense." Star laughed a little alongside her. "Probably could just have people sign waivers, y'know."
-
"Yeah, but that's not going to stop people from hiring lawyers, and I don't have much legal experience." [b][i]She said, as she waved her hand, brushing off the topic[/i][/b] "Anyways, let's start on the basics. Let's see your stance." [b][i]She said, seeing how her partner would stand for fighting so she could correct things[/i][/b]
-
Star got into a "meh" stance. She was balanced pretty well, but her arms weren't raised enough to cover her her face and her legs could probably be closer together. "Like this?"
-
[b][i]It was a start. Eris looked it over, seeing some of the flaws as she spoke.[/i][/b] "Alright. Not bad, though there's a few things to fix. As dumb as it seems, a good stance can help a fight a good few times." [b][i]She said. She moved a sshe spoke[/i][/b] "Firstly, hands. Hands should be up by your face, just high enough so you can see over your front hand." [b][i]She took the position as she stated.[/i][/b] "It let's you be able to block anywhere you need to." "Also, body. Your body should be turned to the side. Facing your opponent straight on makes you a bigger target, and easier to hit." [b][i]She said, doing the same actions.[/i][/b]
-
Star watched Eris and moved a bit to fit the stance she had shown. She raised her hands and moved her legs to perfectly replicate Eris. "Better?"
-
"Yep. Also, legs should be shoulder width, jest helps with balance and movement." [b][i]She said, flowing into the next topic.[/i][/b] "Speaking of movement, you don't want to stand still. Good way to get hit." [b][i]She said, as she began bouncing a little bit. Not enough to be jumping but bouncing only a little off the ground[/i][/b] "Bouncing a bit helps keep you on the move, able to do dodge or strike whenever you see an opening."
-
Star began to bounce with Eris, copying every move to the point. Her eyes shined a bright blue as she did. "Okay...."
-
"Wow. You pick this up pretty fast." [b][i]She said happily. She was surprised Star didn't have some experience[/i][/b] "Alright, basic techniques. Now, a jab it great to make your opponents move. A simple fast punch." [b][i]She said, throwing a jab next to Star with her lead hand.[/i][/b] "It's good to make our opponent block where you want so you can hit them with something else."
-
Star replicated the jab Eris threw perfectly with a grin. "This isn't so bad so far, but that's probably because of how basic it is, huh?"
-
"Yep. Then again, the basics will save your ass in a fight usually. Most of the time just looking like you can fight will do the job." [b][i]She said, smiling. She moved onto the next technique.[/i][/b] "Alright, a jab is a good distraction but won't hurt to much. That's what a cross punch is for." [b][i]She said, firing a back handed punch like a boxer would. There was clearly a good deal more power behind it.[/i][/b] "This is going to hurt a good deal more than a jab. I'd generally aim this near the jaw or throat for a knockout hopefully."
-
Star kept copying Eris, throwing the cross punch. "Alright, I got it...."
-
"Alright. How about some kicks?" [b][i]She said, bringing her hands up again.[/i][/b] "A simple front kick is a pretty useful move. Remember not to point your toes though, it's a very, very easy way to break them, which isn't a fun time." [b][i]She said, laughing a bit. She throws one of the kicks, clearly striking with the ball of her hood, of a target had been in front of her it would've been hurting bad. She clearly had some strength behind her.[/i][/b]
-
Star took a deep breath before repeating what Eris had shown her, keeping her toes uncurled and hitting with the ball of her foot. "Woo! This is getting fun." She bounced around a little.
-
"Most people don't call the besides fun, really. Then again, you need to learn the beaux moves before you can get to the advanced stuff." [b][i]She says. As Star kicked, Eris moved around, checking the stance. He pushed Star's arms up a little, as they dropped a bit as she kicked. Happened to most people[/i][/b]
-
"Thanks. When do we get to grappling stuff? The striking seems rather simple." Star chained two jabs, a cross, and then another jab perfectly. "Let's go!"
-
"Grappling isn't too difficult either once you get the idea down. Remember, it's not about looking fancy. You're always just using your opponents own body against them. I'll show you a few basic ones, if you'd be so kind as to throw a punch at me." [b][i]She said. She stood their in a stance, ready for the attack.[/i][/b]
-
"Alright." Star threw a simple punch at Eris.
-
[b][i]Eris moved fast. Not fast enough the motions were a blur, but to show the practiced ease. With her front hand she patted the Fist to the side, the other hand grabbing the wrist. She rotates Star's arm so the elbow pointed up, pressing gently with her own arm on it. It would force star to bend her body at an angle, making it impossible to throw another technique.[/i][/b] "An armbar is a pretty basic way to get into any grapple. From here if I wanted to, I could sweep your leg and have you on the ground, break your arm, put it behind you like a police hold, or any other manner of techniques."
-
"Huh. Nice. Willing to show me? N-Not the arm breaking though. Don't. I need it." Star stayed still, not wanting to hurt herself somehow.
-
[b][i]She giggled a bit.[/i][/b] "Don't worry, I can promise you won't end up hurt. I've done these moves on people for many years, control is something you learn." [b][i]She said. She swept Star's leg from the back, guiding her back gently to the ground as she sat on her, one leg on either side. From here the motion of an elbow would usually follow, as Eris demonstrated, not hitting her thigh.[/i][/b] "This is just one place you could take an armbar. Getting someone on the ground is generally smart, because then you have a two on one fight. Them, versus you and the floor."
-
Star's one eye flashed pink for a second and her face got a little red, but she quickly got a hold of herself. "Y-Yeah? Okay. Cool. What else can you do?"
-
[b][i]She stood up, helping Star to her feet[/i][/b] "Choke holds, joint locks, all the fun stuff. You can take away someone's entire Arsenal with one good lock. Well, assuming they can't electrocute themselves it something." [b][i]She joked[/i][/b]
-
Star got up and giggled a little. "Thank you again for this. This is fun and very educational. Wanna keep going?"
