CHESTO!

[It had to happen at least once. The sound of Sanger's voice dominates the air in the gym, because to practice silently would hardly be fit to be called practice at all. The last of his twentienth bamboo stick falls neatly apart and falls to the mat. Lucky the ship is stocked for this kind of thing ( Read more... )

[Lured in by the excessive shouting, Lowe is quick to judge the scale of destruction. Man, some people train really hardcore.]

That's a neat trick, cutting down so many sticks in one go. You must've practiced really hard.

[Count on him to address even mountains of men like Sanger so casually.]

I learned from a master.

[Fond memories...]

space_mcgyver August 29 2011, 01:14:18 UTC

Sounds just like my Grandpa. Taught me everything I know 'bout being a Junker.

This helps with mobile suit combat too, right?
[Lowe took a look at Grungust a while back, so he knows about is control system.]

It's useful to know proper form, yes, even though the zankantou's a vastly different type of weapon...

[Someone is curious about the training habits of people who don't just sit back and snipe enemies like sensible people.]

Nice form.

cleaves_evil August 29 2011, 02:23:39 UTC

[Nods stand-in for thank yous, right?]

It's the result of good practice with the basics.

guardian_lynx August 29 2011, 04:42:42 UTC

So I've heard from most swordsmen.

I'm positive you've been around for a while, but I don't think we've met. I'm Calvina, one of the people who trains the kids around here on "the basics."

An admirable job. I'm glad someone qualified has taken responsibility for it.

[Frank is training in the gym too, though he keeps to the more ordinary workout equipment. For now.]

That's a powerful technique. Does it work as well against moving targets?

cleaves_evil August 30 2011, 03:21:09 UTC

Slow it may be, but there are tactics for maximizing its chance to hit.

mydutyisnotover August 30 2011, 03:46:22 UTC

That's interesting. Care to demonstrate?

cleaves_evil August 30 2011, 04:40:24 UTC

You mean in sparring?

A technique passed on from your master? [[She's never seen him practice before, but she can honestly appreciate the style, the stance, and the power.]]

cleaves_evil August 30 2011, 06:05:22 UTC

Indeed!

aceshighsword August 30 2011, 06:21:59 UTC

[[Ho, good sir! Catch this kendo coming your way!]]

Would you care to spar a bit? [[She's already setting down her katana and taking up a kendo of her own.]]

zetahatsudo August 31 2011, 01:21:18 UTC

[Has been watching with avid interest, and is now approaching you once you've finished polishing that sword]

Ah, Sir? May I ask you something?

cleaves_evil September 1 2011, 02:10:46 UTC

Go ahead.

[Thoughts of the battle against that-which-we-must-not-speak-of fly through Kamille's mind, the way he misproperly used his Gundam and how it lost a leg taking precedence. The Man with a girl's name is now bowing his head in the traditional fashion.]

In order to better myself in combat, I wish reign in my temper. The amount of control you possess over yourself, I wish to attain that. Please instruct me!

cleaves_evil September 1 2011, 02:28:01 UTC

Huh? No, I don't think I'm qualified for...

Well, self-control can only be taught so far. It's about mastering yourself.
