Biweekly Warfare Training - Block One

The turnout ended up being better than expected. Kang stood with his arms crossed over his chest in front of the bar of the tavern, looking over his and Ronon's students; he knew that several of them wouldn't stay, once they realized how brutal this training was going to be. He glanced over at his fellow instructor, and nodded slightly, getting a nod and grin in return.

Sons-of-bitches voice was go.

"Welcome to Warfare Training. For those of you who don't know us, I am Kang, and this"--he pointed at Ronon--"is Ronon Dex. We are going to be your instructors." His wings rustled slightly, and he grinned. "I'm going to tell you right now: this is not going to be easy. You will get hurt. You will be sore in muscles you didn't even know existed. We are going to make you give us everything you have, and more."

He placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. "You will be learning hand-to-hand, various melee weapons with an emphasis on swords and knives, firearms, and for those interested, I will be giving private lessons with the axe. You will also be learning strategy and tactics, and will be facing off against many different types of nonhuman foes. Our goal is to make sure you have a chance of surviving, no matter what situation you happen to find yourself in."

Pointing to the door, the bozak's expression turned serious again, "If you feel that you can't handle this training at any point, the door is right there. We only want those who are serious about learning, and we won't put up with whining or half-assing. We also won't put up with any sort of discrimination based on age or sex, so be respectful to your fellow classmates, and to your instructors." He meant it, too.

"Classes will be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1600 to 1800, and mostly optional on Saturdays from 0900 to 1200. We'll let you know which Saturdays are required at least a day ahead. Questions?"

[Things to be covered!

Basics of hand-to-hand, proper knife and sword handling, and for those interested in axe, message me and we'll work out the private lessons. :3]

"No powers, obviously." Shadow said. Obviously unfazed by his opponent, Shadow stood confident and relaxed before dropping into a stance.

"Let's see what you got, human." With that, he motioned Matt to make the first move.

Matt nodded as he slid into a Meridian combat stance, balancing before shooting forward.

His leg came up in a low kick, aimed for Shadow's head, having chosen a kick-based style for this.

Probably one of the good things about Shadow's height? More options.

As the kick came up to his head, the hedgehog instinctively grabbed Matt's leg and lifted himself up, intending on push himself forward and deliver a kick to his side.

Still with leg upraised and caught, Matt's arm impacted Shadow's kick with a jarring thud as he grinned. Then his leg that was caught snapped out in a way to toss Shadow backwards, using his smaller size to send him flipping away.

Shadow grunted as he was tossed away. Flipping, he landed on the ground and skidded to a halt. Pushing himself forward, he leaped up and threw a punch at Matt.

Bringing up his hand, he parried, shifting from Meridian to Tai Chi, the soft motions allowing him to move more fluidly. "Lots of power in that," remarked Matt as he shifted to a Kung Fu stance and went on the offensive right back at him.
