The Gym - Monday Morning

Peter made his way to the gym when he woke up Monday morning.  He headed straight for the heavy bag.  It had been far too long since he'd worked on hand-to-hand.  Plus he needed to screw up his courage for further apologies.

"Good morning, Mr. Pevinse," Pip said as he entered the gym. "I see you have, in quite a dastardly way, taken the exact thing I was hoping to use."

"Yes. And because I am feeling particularly benevolent today, I'll even accept your apologies. As long as there's no singing on the bleachers."

"Good man. You've been practicing those kicks I showed you?"

"Nope. No signing, and no grease in the hair. Which, considering my hair, is probably a good thing."

"Wanna learn some more?"

Pip grinned. "Not happening. Now, watch me close. This is the hook kick. Not much on it's own. Takes too long. But if you can get it down right, I'll show you how to do something really cool with it eventually."

He demonstrated.

"The thing about this kick," PIp said, "is that you've got to snap the leg back quickly. That's what gives it it's force."

He demonstrated again.

Pip nodded. "The idea is that once we've refined this, we'll add the spin, so that the force of the spin is added to the hook and you really do some damage."

Pip motioned for Peter to back up and delivered a spinning back hook kick to the heavy bag.

Pip nodded. "That's how it works, I'm afraid. You've got to put the practice in before you can do anything cool and flashy."

Pip laughed. "Can't say I blame you. I tried knife throwing before I was ready with hilarious results."

"Both," Pip responded. "Your sister? Didn't know you had much family.... wait a minute..." he stopped to think about this. "Older or younger sister?"

"Huh. So you aren't related to Dr. Susan?"

Pip rolled his eye. "Of course. Why did I expect anything in Fandom to be normal?"
