FIGHT CLUB

Hello, hello!

I come to you all bearing an idea which may or may not be for everyone. Please let me know if you are interested in open logs for training / sparring sessions, aka: Fight Club! These would be open logs for everyone to place toplevels and tag out freely.

Since many characters have shown interest in such activities I thought it might be a fun idea to put together something for those that are training, teaching, or otherwise using the gym for something other than playing ball games. The current plan doesn't involve any one character running things per se but simply an ooc organization of such activities with as little or large amount of detail people would like to supply. In other words, a lot of characters are running their own show and doing this already but we as a group don't all necessarily know who is doing what! But this way we can keep a little better track (hopefully)!

This first post is to gauge interest and see how much organization we'd like to put up. If it hits off this can be an on-going project that I will run or help run if multiple people would like. And by "run" I mean post ic and ooc reminders, the open log, and create any ooc lists if we want them. This can be as serious busnz or not as we like. Please list interest and any potential ideas for organization here if you like it!

This is for new and old characters alike! Don't be shy if you or your character is new! That's the best kind of person to get involved! Also, interest includes having your character learn new skills as well as teach them!

OPEN CATCH-ALL LOG for the month of Fiddlesticks is now available! Please come and have fun! 47 has also made an announcement for it as well.

As I said on Plurk, I am down for this!

While Webmind won't be participating as much (well, he'll make a point to learn some sort of defense in practice, but he's still new to having a physical body in the first place, though, so. Little things first.), Nita will be learning (and trying to remember to use, this time) self-defense, including a variety of weapons and styles.

She also does yoga, and people are free to handwave seeing her do that at any time.

There is also the matter of her wizardry, which unfortunately is not teachable given the manner the Oath is delivered - BUT, she can teach people the Speech wizards use. That's not much of a Fight Club addition, however.

Hit me up to plot out or handwave things as needed! I am easily found here, on plurk, and on Discord (Autistic_Ace for the latter two; I am almost always catchable on the main server for the game).

Um, YES. Absolutely. Cassie is going to be in the gym every day. She'd be up for either teaching less experienced passengers or learning from stronger ones, and is probably a prime candidate for helping to organize any structured form of combat instruction. She can't teach any of her green glowy qi stuff - in her kcanon that's something you have to be born with - but she's capable of armed or unarmed training.

Thea can teach hand to hand plus archery!

Jessie can teach creative weapons, firearms and hand to hand!

Cassie (MCU) needs to learn!

Curufin can teach sword, bow, and ordinary hand-to-hand combat skills (kicking, punching, etc), and firearms.

Also, the skill of running your mouth while fighting, coming up with creative insults and thus provoking the opponent into doing something stupid out of rage.

Tony would love to spar with him on the regular. Either sword or hand-to-hand!

Tony would be interested in helping teach hand to hand combat (boxing, not martial arts) and firearms. He is in the gym regularly using the dummies he made. Also- everyone is welcome to use the dummies!

SO Lightning is basically as active as 47 - she doesn't really do announcements but tends to direct newbies towards the gym individually quite often! She spends her mornings there either training with others, teaching some of her combat styles (rifle, sword, elemental magic, nonsense hand-to-hand that involves 200% more standing backflips than strictly necessary, general self-defense and how to hunt monsters) or learning someone else's. She has superhuman strength and endurance, so is suited to sparring with people who can dish out more punishment than a normal human could take, and as one of the healers is probably also called on for first aid.

TLDR You probably interact with her if: you are superhumanly strong and don't want to fight breakable people; you need healing because you got distracted and someone broke your arm; you're looking to learn or practise any of her styles; you're teaching your own thing pretty openly.

Gyousou mostly sticks with swordplay and hand-to-hand. He has exactly zero experience with modern weaponry, but is generally good with most weapons you'd expect from Fantasy NotChina. He's a fairly patient teacher and companion for anyone looking to spar or train as a group, and he has an excellent grasp of military tactics (both individual and group) thanks to, you know, having been a general before he was a king. He heals faster than your average guy, but otherwise just seems like a particularly fit warrior.

TLDR You probably interact with him if: you're mostly interested in swordplay or tactics.

Glorfindel usually goes to the gym later in the evening when most others are asleep, and exercises (he meditates elsewhere). So he can handle the later crowd :)

He is very down for teaching, you know. He's trained rangers for centuries. (Millenia, actually.) How to be quiet in a forest, how to tell when your enemy is near, how to hunt and how to kill. Perhaps he won't teach those SPECIFIC skills, but how to defend yourself with a sword, stick, bow, and knives, he can most certainly do.

On the other hand, if you've ever seen Legolas in LOTR, he fights somewhat similar, but with a bit of the bigger sword mixed in, so I'm not sure how good he will be at teaching the unenhanced human types. I'm guessing he might be better as the type of teacher to take on the slightly more experienced who want to learn more or spar with someone they would be hard pressed to hurt.

He's also good with just sparring with other advanced fighters. :) In case anyone is game.

[Edited by Glorfindel to read:]
If anyone wants to learn archery, I am very willing to teach. New gym, after breakfast or after dinner.

I will be talking to some of you other trainers. I think this a good opportunity to pick up some techniques and weapons I don't already have.

Wei Wuxian tends to be in the gym in the mornings with Lan WangJi and Lan Sizhui. Yes, almost every day. They generally do various martial arts and exercises to strengthen their golden cores (or in Wuxian's case, work on forming/strengthening it). Other people are welcome to watch or join in, they'll get tutoring from Wuxian and Wangji if not also Sizhui! There might also be some swordsmanship going on, though Wuxian doesn't have a sword at the moment.

There is also a fair amount of meditation going on, attempted or otherwise depending who it is and what mindset they're in at the moment.

Newbie here, but this is a great idea.

Nari is an elementalist, so she can fight using those in case anyone wants to test out fighting against things like fire and other things, and she has combat experience from CRAU times. She's also a trained medic so if anyone gets injured, she can help out with that as well.
