Punching People for Fun and Profit, Period 1 [Class Five | 9/30/2009]

Fred stood in front of the class, wearing what looked to be a large karate gi. They met in the danger shop again, and the surroundings were a replication of a Japanese dojo.

"Now, we're gonna give a crash course in a couple of Asian fighting styles. You can't possibly learn anything real in one damn class, so we're just going to show off some styles. You get to just watch today, for the most part. If I let most of you try, you'll probably break your idiot selves. So. Here we go."

Fred hit a button, which generated a holographic martial artist.

"First, we're gonna show off Fujian White Crane," Fred said. The martial artist started going through some moves. "This is from South China. And, well..."

Fred droned on for a bit, sharing info from the wiki link about the style.

"Next, we're gonna go for Judo," Fred said. Now there were two holographic martial artists, and they started going through a series of throws and chokes. "This is from Japan. Some good stuff, too. Lots of grappling and stuff." He then went into some more detail from the wiki link.

"Finally, we got Muay Thai," Fred explained. The holographic martial artists began to demonstrate various muay thai strikes against each other. "This one's from Indochina, you got that? And, well, as you can see..." Fred then went into some more detail.

"Okay, for the rest of the day?" Fred chuckled, and a movie screen appeared on the wall behind him. "We're gonna watch some Bruce Lee. Enjoy the easy day, kids. Next week it gets interesting."

...seriously? Kennedy was living up to her username thought she'd signed up for a class about hitting things, not watching other people hit things in simulated form, and come on, she could so learn some of the stuff in those demos without breaking herself.

She was glaring a lot, and yes, following along with the Danger Shop demonstration in as subdued a way as possible.

Claire sighed. She thought they were gonna get to actually hit people this week.

Well, if she couldn't hit people, at least she could watch some violence. Shame nobody brought popcorn.

Jack watched the different styles demonstrated, and thought that Muay Thai looked interesting.

The TA was here! And totally intrigued by this Bruce Lee guy. He seemed fun.

So, I take it no learning the Wuhan Thumb of Death for us either. Shucks.
