Basic Stances

Teaching definitely wasn't something that came easily to him but he'd agreed to it, and he wouldn't back down now. Especially not when learning the basic of fighting was such an important thing. Fortunately she was interested in what he had to say, mirroring the movements he made - even though they might be slightly exaggerated. "Obviously during a fight, especially a real one and not a practice spar, you're not able to do all this with so much time to think about each step. But if you practice these things, even if it feels a little silly to do, they'll come more naturally to you."

He knew that because he'd spent time practicing the motions too. Living life as a loner meant having to always be prepared and ready for what might be thrown at you... whether that was a fight or something else. "Of course you can't always keep up those things. If someone comes at your throat, you might have to focus more on keeping your head low and less on the other things you were doing before. A lot about fighting is situation, but the more you practice, the better you'll get at all of it." And.. that was that. The lesson was a brief one but he hoped she got something out of it anyway. "Do you have any questions? Or have anything you'd like to work on more specifically?"
