Fight Club Open Log! (Catch-All For the Month of Imagination)

[rieper]

Who: Open to anyone! Make your own toplevel style~
Where: Training gym
When: Throughout the month of Imagination
What: Training in the gym. Unofficially known as "Fight Club". 47 absolutely does not call it that. But I do!
Warnings: It's a Fight Club! Sorta. Expect (hopefully friendly) violence, maybe some cursing, and whatever else. Free feel to add cw in your toplevels if needed.

Early in the month of Imagination, 47 makes an announcement on the ICP.

From: Training Gym
To: All Carriages

[It's the bald man in a suit again and if you've guessed what he's going to say before he starts talking you've been on the train for far too long like the rest of them.]

Another mission should be coming within the week. Anyone unprepared should consider the efforts ongoing in the training gym to learn new skills for survival, combat, and defensive measures. Those who have such skills already are welcome to participate in sparring and exercise sessions as well if they have not already done so within the group setting. [Or come help train.]

There are multiple people to chose from for training or sparring needs. Simply make your way to the training gym whenever possible. My name is Tobias Rieper--you'll find me there most days and if you need help with anything I'm available.

[That's all he has to say this time. Short, sweet, to the point. The end. He'll be in the training gym for Q&A for the rest of the day and probably most of the week or until the next mission comes (at least). This is typical for him anyway.]

Make toplevels to your heart's content and tag around to each other freely. Whether your character is offering to teach or wanders in looking for someone to get them involved (or just to watch), this is a post for you! You may use this for any sort of open or even private threads if you so wish.

This log is for anyone who wants to participate in exercising, training, sparring, and teaching lessons. Some of the "classes" also involve things like yoga, meditation, and easier self defense mechanisms for anyone to learn. Magic users also use the facilities to practice their spells! Everyone get use to that crazy lightning storm going off around them as they fight the big bad monster of a training dummy! It's going to happen at some point out in the field, guaranteed!

Basically, if you want to learn new skills that could be useful on missions, come take a peek!

For a basic set-up consider this: the new training gym has all sorts of useful equipment for physical fitness such as mats, soft hand held pads for training with, training dummies, some balancing beams and even a springboard. There are large blocks for making obstacle courses or creating a unique battlefield, and two climbing apparatus next to the wall. Many people are found here daily training, maintaining physical fitness, and teaching others how to handle combat in one fashion or another. Others come and go more sporadically but all are welcome and everyone (typically) shares everything with relative ease. Many of the usual suspects will help accommodate whoever asks for help. Generally, there is just a lot of activity and a busy but fluid schedule around all the equipment and space provided.

[[ooc note: The typical Fight Club open log post has returned! Now condensed into one post with the ic announcement for convenience of yours truly. Here is the original ooc info post which may or may not one day get an update, and here is a list of training/trainers offered up. Feel free to continue to update either post with new character info! Or ask questions if you have 'em!]]

It was very encouraging in Trunks' eye, as he saw Natsuno make that little step back less. "I think for kicks, you definitely need to practice with the dummy braced for now. But you're getting better. There are still weaknesses, but it's starting to actually look like a proper kick instead of flailed limbs."

[reluctantjinrou]

He let out the smallest of chuckles.

"Well I suppose that's progress, not to seem like I'm flailing uncontrollably."

[light_of_willpower]

"Is it starting to feel at least a little more familiar, or easier?" Trunks asked, smiling that he'd made Natsuno chuckle.

[reluctantjinrou]

"It's a lot easier, actually, and it feels much better. I'm not sure how else to describe it." Natsuno admitted. "I feel less off-balance, anyway."

[light_of_willpower]

"Good. Then that means you're learning. And yes, you were off-balance less. I want 20 kicks each, low, medium, and high, from your front leg, then the back, then switch your legs around. Sound good?" Trunks wasn't actually used to being a trainer, but he was kind of enjoying it.

[reluctantjinrou]

"Yes. Let's do it." Natsuno agreed, at least he was enthusiastic and eager to learn if nothing else.

He may have had a stroke of luck finding someone who could actually take the time to train him.

end of thread?

[light_of_willpower]

Trunks chuckled, and a genuine and real smile formed on his face. "Alright. Let's plan for once or twice a week at least, for about 2-3 hours. We'll be focusing on the basics for now, getting your form better as the control comes with practice and time too." Sounded like a good plan, at least in Trunks' mind.

"Now, Yuuki, I want those kicks."

All done!

[reluctantjinrou]

"That sounds good, helpful." Natsuno agreed with a nod. "Thank you for your time."

If nothing else, he was polite. He shifted as instructed and began kicking the dummy as requested.
