You know, this probably isn't that important or anything, but I kinda noticed this trend the other day. Like, whenever someone brings up self-defense, it's always magic or some sort of weapon.

Maybe... No, I'm pretty sure this is a biased opinion, but why doesn't anyone ever ask to learn martial arts? I'm not gonna stupidly start yelling that martial arts is the best, but, it's got it's advantages over magic and weapons, right?

I guess, well, I'm just complaining that I never hear someone say "Let me learn martial arts!" when it comes to protecting themselves. I don't think I'd like, be the best teacher, but, I probably could get someone started... that is, if I'm not the only one.

I'd probably go for it. I already know some Kyoshi style.

[Voice]

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. Certain style from where you're from?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Probably. It was named after one of our previous Avatars.

[Voice]

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Avatars? You mean the little characters you use online?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Little characters... online? Oh!]

No! That's called bait!

It could be useful to learn. [Especially remembering how Uriko had caught her off-guard at the hot spring.]

I mean, I can't exactly carry a weapon everywhere.

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Can't vampire like, do magic or something? Or they're like, really strong? **Sorry, going by stereotypes.**

[Voice]

[waxvampire.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'm really strong and I can use magic- in my original body. In this form I'm really weak...

[Voice]

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Your... original body?

[Voice]

[waxvampire.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I told you about that. Oh, but that was during the experiment, so I guess things were a little confusing. An exorcist trapped me in this body.

[Voice]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

I already know the basics.

[Voice]

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Blah blah, basics. I could still kick your butt!

But, teasing aside, what style?

[Voice]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Dunno, I've just copied a lot of what I've seen other people doing. So I probably picked up a lot of yours somewhere along the line.

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Well, if it's like that, I'd expect it. I mean, I dunno who else you'd be watching really. None of the other girls really do anything like that...

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

I don't only watch girls or only watch the Brigade, idiot.

[i_speak_softly]

You know, that's a good question. I hear a lot of magic happens at the barracks, but when I try to find out if there's any normal, non-magical training going on, it just sounds like there... isn't.

You practice martial arts? What style?

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

I was learning Ken-po from my master back home. Well, he quit teaching and I quit learning about the same time. For... almost similar reasons.

[i_speak_softly]

You quit? Can I ask why?

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

I didn't really quit per say... Like, I went off to save my mom, and he had to go deal with some like... evil twin brother or something. We kinda keep in touch but, as far as the whole learning and lessons go, yeah, that hasn't happened in a while.

Also, I've kinda been here for like, two years...

[i_speak_softly]

[Wow, and he thought his own adventures were pretty bizarre. At least he hasn't gotten to the evil-twin-brother stage of weirdness yet.]

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

Teaching? You?

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

I CAN TRY!

[mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com]

And I can watch.

There's usually more training needed for martial arts, aru. It isn't as easy as, say, a weapon or magic. Which is probably why people usually go with the latter two.

So I think, anyway.

[Voice]

[kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, I can see that. But, isn't that like, if you're trying to be a master? Or, looking for inner peace or whatever? I learned in a couple of months, though, I can probably brag on my teacher for that too.
