Self-Defense - Wednesday evening, Gym

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."

Nadia was breathing slightly hard, but she wasn't too tired yet. "I think you still have some kicks to get in."

"I don't know about this 'kicking' think Nadia..." she said scooting forward.

"I'm more a 'punchy, stabby, throwy, shooty' kind of girl."

She shot a front kick at Nadia's midriff like she'd seen Nadia do at the start of their fight.

Nadia doesn't so much as catch Pippi's foot as push it aside. "That's why you have to work on it. I'm pretty much a kickboxer. I could probably use some work on the punching."

As her kick is pushed away, Pippi turns it into another round house kick.

Nadia drops to the floor and bounces back up when the kick clears.

As Nadia rises, Pippi's foot stops and snaps out at Nadia's chest.

This one catches Nadia, and she spins with the momentum, bringing her leg up for a shot back at Pippi's hip. "You're getting better."

Pippi grabs at the leg heading toward her hip.

"I'm a fast study, and have a very good teacher." is her retort.

Nadia supports herself with both arms as she launches her other leg out for a scissor kick. It's not her strongest move in the world, but she feels like she just has to try it.

"Thanks. You'll have to teach me that flipping to your feet thing you do."

Pippi grabbed at the other foot as well.

Tucking both ankles securely under one arm, she scratches the back of her head, then puts her fist on her hip.

"Now what?"

Nadia sighed, dropping her head to stare at her predicament. She had an idea, but she'd never tried it before.

Well, worst thing that would happen would be she'd fall on her face. Like that was anything new.

She pushed off the floor with both palms and tucked her upper body into a roll, using her momentum to either pull her legs out of Pippi's graps or flip Pippi with them. She managed to land on her shoulder blade and not her neck, so hey, major bonus there!

"What are you doi-ahhhh!" Pippi was thrown over Nadia like... a thing... that get's thrown... through the air. With braids.

She tucks and manages to roll with the landing and end back up on her feet.

She turns around.

"I that was so cool!"

Nadia propped herself up on her elbows, grinning. "Glad you enjoyed it. Also? Glad it worked." She kicked her feet up in an attempt to do that kipping thing, and flopped back down. "And that didn't." She rolled quickly to her knees and sprang forward to her feet. "What do you think, is that enough for today?"

"Yeah, I think we pretty much got this 'kicking' think worked out." she said.

"I'll show you how to kip up next time."

"Cool!" Nadia wipes a hand across her forehead. Fighting with Pippi is always a workout. "Sounds good."
