Gym, Saturday Morning

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip yawned a little as he went through a stretching routine and waited for Engligh Peter to show up. The Luau had been fun last night, but he had a feeling some people were probably nursing Hangovers of Doom right about now.

"Personally, I do it all in one movement. Gives the oppenent less of a tell."

Peter nodded and tried again. This time the kick was much more smooth if not quite as high as it ought to be. "Better?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded. "Definite improvement. Let's work on just these three kicks before moving onto anything else. Try the other leg with the roundhouse?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter tried the roundhouse with his left leg which was again better than the right. "Definitely stronger with this leg then," he said. "I'll have to work on that." He kicked several more times. "That feels good."

"Well then," Pip said as he reached into his bag and pulled out a pair of yellow gloves, "feel good enough to test them on a live target?"

Peter grinned. "Sure thing. Can't do more than make myself a right idiot so it can't hurt."

"Good. I'm not going to hit back, just gonna block, so it won't hurt. I think." He dropped into a fighting stance. "Ready?"

Peter also fell into his guard stance. It wasn't a particularly useful one for kicking out of, but he'd figure that out in time. "Ready indeed."

Pip nodded. "We're going to have to work on your stance, next. But that's for later. Begin."

Peter kicked first a left roundhouse which didn't go anywhere due to stance issues then followed it up with a stronger side kick from the right.
