Neutral or Passive Stance

Rank: "E"

Skill: TaiJutsu

Effect: The Neutral, or Passive, stance is your natural, unprepared position.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: It is extremely useful for all aspects of training, considering that, on the street, you will most likely need to perform combatives and self-defense techniques without any preparation. Be sure to train from this position at least part of the time when working on combatives, and at all times when practicing self-defense techniques. The Stance: Stand with your feet about hip-width apart (or less), with your arms hanging to the sides.

Limit: Must learn from a Master of Krav Maga.

Xolia could be seen exiting the Dojo with a Krav Maga teacher, he had refused to give his name and she didn't give a damn. She simply needed to train, a Dojo master was the best idea and thus she went with it. Upon her being were two gauntlets, covering both hands, a two filter gas mask, six covert listening devices, a slot worth of tracking devices, 4 tracers, condition viewing lenses, ten holder enhancements and a lensatic compass. 

With a few rigid steps she turned on her heel sand planted herself firmly with both hands at her sides. the instructor told her clearly, what was to happen and she would play the mocking game. It started with several slow, deep breaths that expanded the frame and increased blood flow. The first position was legs closed, well nearly, just inches apart and that the flow of blood could continue to circulate throughout her body. The gauntlets were heavy for her thin arms but it was easy to wield with her immense strength. When she watched him put his arms down, she mirrored the movement.

That was easy but when he jumped and preformed a jumping jack before snapping back to attention she was hard pressed to follow through. She strengthened her arms and preformed the maneuver before coming back to positional resting. the legs were further apart, another jumping jack, more distance, the legs came further and further apart until they were about shoulder length and her teacher shook his head. "Too far?" She called out to his in Necril, but merely got a blank stare and a shake of the head. Damned language barriers...

Fighting Stance

Rank: "E"

Skill: TaiJutsu

Effect: Take this stance when preparing for confrontation. The description assumes you are right handed; if you are left-handed, simply substitute "right" for "left"

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Stand with your feet high-width apart and take a comfortable step forward with your left foot. Keep your weight on the balls of your feet. The Toes of both feet should generally point forward, but the forward foot may turn slightly inward for better balance. Keep your hands relaxed, hold them above your chin height and a comfortable distance away from the face. Make sure your elbows are in and fairly close to your body, and your shoulders are relatively squared to an opponent.

Limit: Must learn from a Master of Krav Maga.

From the passive stance she kept a very sharp eye on the master, his whimsical smile not something she was willing to let disarm her. He moved his ankles slowly and with it she mimicked him, watching carefully as to not fall behind with the way he moved. It was a simple task though once he reached the shoulder width mark, and kept going, she was skeptical of its practicality in fighting. Its stretched the inner thigh muscles and made her balance uneasy, susceptible to falling over if she wasnt careful. The way the mechanics were working so far, were that it gave you a low sense of gravy, making you supposedly harder to knock down, which was half of the style. 

From here up came hands, about chin height, or maybe a tad higher, palms facing outwards though one could be formed into a hammerfist. the shoulders must be lined and squared, very level with the opponent to be able to read his body language without much more guesstimation. The toe of each foot facing forward typically though the dominant foot could her pivoted and turned inward for better balance, which was precisely what she had to do in this case. She wasn't out to impress the teacher and whatever made the stance easier she would take it. The opponent cares not for equality when life and death are on the line. Her elbows were drawn in ward towards the chest for protection though, enough to ferret away punches if they did come.

The stance was getting comfortable but the master was not not done with her, he continued to move, speaking something though the language was lost on her entirely. He took a quick step forward and returned to stance, his feet a blur of movement, masking any of his real movement besides the actual movement forward. He slapped his right leg and yelled something she she nodded, mimicking the movement with a somewhat sloppy execution. It was a forward movement she was very much impressed with but her teacher seemed very unimpressed, if anything disappointed that she would take the easy was out. 

And so he began to dash forward forcing her to copy him, a right dash would be executed by pushing off with the left leg, propelling her in the direction. The right foot was there to stop her progress, an anchor if you will, to which her hands returned to their correct position, guarding her face and chest. Back tot he left now, pushing off with the right foot, catching oneself with the left foot but immediately dashing backwards with the same left foot and bringing the right foot in swiftly for a calculated and crisp execution. How simple it was now honestly, to dash, forward, the right foot propelling her forwards, then left, the right foot again taking the lead, then right, the left foot taking lead instead, then back which could be alternated based off the dominant side.
