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.

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.

I already know the basics.

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?

[identity profile] kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
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: (Bwuh?)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-03-30 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
You quit? Can I ask why?

[identity profile] kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
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...

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

[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.]
i_speak_softly: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH)

[personal profile] i_speak_softly 2010-03-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Two years? [He really should stop being astonished and dismayed at how long people have been here, but he hasn't reached that stage yet either.]

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

Teaching? You?

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.

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

Your... original body?

[identity profile] kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Blah blah, basics. I could still kick your butt!

But, teasing aside, what style?

[identity profile] kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I've been here a little over... or maybe just under two years. It's kinda hard to remember what month I showed up unless I actually sit down and think about it.

I CAN TRY!

[identity profile] kenpo-kitty.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] waxvampire.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

You did?

I don't... Did you say something about dolls when you were talking about it?

Yes, exactly. My skin looks and feels just like the real thing, but it's actually wax.

[identity profile] mutsukabezaka.livejournal.com 2010-03-30 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
And I can watch.

I'm... sorry. [Not an adequate response. Nothing is enough to make up for two years.]

It's alright. This place is a lot more tolerable of my kind than my home is. Until Haruki started calling you guys kappa, I'd thought you were turtle Zoanthrope.
