what will you do when the vultures come for you, run and hide?
A bit more chatter, eagerly peeking at the other groups to see how they were doing, observing and piping up when she thought she could help. She was more than happy with the outcome thus far, it was exhilarating to find so many interested in the craft. Her attention was drawn back to her duo when they began to execute the maneuver's on the dummies.
The first, Sah was it? Her eyes followed every inch of his movement, from how he carried himself posture wise to the placement of his fingers on the hilt. He struck with a lot of power, pulling the blade down onto the target, but he was not yet a seasoned fighter. He led with his body, too tense to let the sword do its work, and the sharp edge simply stopped about an inch deep into the collar of the target. "Remember to let gravity do most of the work with a swing like that, good aim and a good wind up is better than stiff legs," she advised, walking over to adjust his posture and set him up for a couple more practice swings.
Then on to the other, the blue haired man (Neos) had already show cased some of his abilities, it was clearly not his first time wielding a weapon. With a flourish he struck down on the dummy, cutting right through the head and stopping at it's chest. Now that was a good example of momentum and balance, she smiled and clapped him on the back, "Great job, keep it up."
After a bit more practice time Aisha felt it was time to start a new task, she moved away to find another pair to bring back. With four people now gathered that would make for equal teams, perfect for the next trial. "I'm gonna pair you up against another couple now, to see how you hold up against a target that moves. The goal here will be to work together, to use what you've learned so far, and try to disarm the other team."
The two she'd brought over smiled, a black haired man with a tall blonde woman, both here for the same reason as Sah and Neos. To learn, to protect, to fight. Aisha stepped back as the pairs faced each other, the opposing team taking a stance and waiting for Sah and Neos to make the first move.
Second task! Work together to try an disarm another pair of fighters, describe your tactics/attacks with your next post!
