Self-Defense - Wednesday evening, Gym

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Students entering the gym in the evening are greeted with the sight of a black cat bouncing up and down on a window-sill. The gym is set up the way it always is: matts on the floor, a table with food and Alanna.

"Okay, today? We will be working on kicking. If you're being attacked, I don't recommend it unless you feel like you have enough experience to be quick about it. If you are going to kick, "kick" with your knee. If your attacker is male, aim low. If you're being kicked, try to grab and stop the foot, usually by grabbing on. If you get it right, the person should fall over, or at least loose their balance." She clapped her hands. "Pair up, practice kicking, usual rules apply. I'll be perched by the cookies and lemonade."

"Pretty good, you? And..." She checked the list. "You're with Walter tonight."

Alanna flashed Nadia a thumbs-up. "That would be awesome." Hang out here till someone else shows up?"

Nadia eyed the food table, then glanced at the bouncing cat. "Sure, no problem."

Walter signs in. Attacker, as usual.

Re: Sign In

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Actually, as he pays better attention, he's ready to catch kicks.

"Walter, you're with Cordy. Try not to break anything." She smirked.

Pippi signs in.

She'll either attack or defend for any stragglers such as herself.

"Not-on-fire-Freshman! You're with Nadia tonight."

By the Table

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

One red head, snacks, and lemonade. Talk to each other and/or Alanna here.

Walter shows up at the table with a small box of chocolates he may or may not have picked up at Wonka's.

He also has a very straight red mark on his face...

"Let me guess?" Victor asked sympatheticly. "Stepped on a rake?"

Re: By the Table

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor kind of mulled around, then decided to approach Alanna.

"So, um...when do I get a partner?"

Re: By the Table

Alanna glanced at her watch. "Ten minutes. No one else shows up, it's you and me." She grinned. "You mind or do you want to start now?"

Okay, what's up with the bouncing cat?

Pair One

Walter and Cordelia

Cordelia smiles at Walter. "Hey, I'm Cordy. How's it going?"

Re: Pair One

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Cordy. I am Walter. Now that classes are over, it is going well."

He bent over to stretch. "You'll be kicking me today? Go ahead and don't worry about pulling the kicks. I can catch them."

Pair Two

Nadia and Pippi

Re: Pair Two

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"Do you want to attack or defend?" she asked.

Re: Pair Two

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia gave a little shrug as she came up to the matts. "Either way. You wanna take it slow at first, practice the basic movements before we try to hurt each other? Or should we jump right in?"
