*Training* Taiya in Kenpo Dojo

[Chaos]

Close Kneel
Type: TaiJutsu
Rank: E Rank
Effect: Covers center line. Used for breaking or checking knee
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: From Forward Bow, bend rear knee and stay up on ball of rear foot, rear knee and foot facing forward.

"V-very good. Lets just move on. I will be right back, I'm going to get water."

Miyagi winced as he got up and disappeared behind a door. Taiya sat on the floor to catch her breath. She was glad to hear about water, she hadn't drank anything since they started training and could use re-hydrating. Phew! What a work out. I can't wait to get my belt and learn the better moves of Kenpo. I am going to become one of the greatest Kenpo masters, even if it kills me.

At this point Miyagi came back in with a small box which he lied on the table and two canteens, one which he tossed to Taiya. Taiya chugged it like she hadn't drank anything in years. Miyagi sipped it slowly.

"Alright now to get back to training. This next stance is called the 'Close Kneel'. It is a simple. It's used to easy check the knee or for breaking it. Don't ask why you would need to break your knee, when the time comes you will know."

Taiya decided not to ask questions. She closed up the canteen and tossed it against the wall. She stood up with a grunt, her body was soar. Miyagi went into the forward bow. It was a simple kneel that didn't need to be used from the forward bow, but Taiya wasn't complaining.

It was another low, defensive stance. Taiya had already pictured many things she would be doing with this stance. Things went as normal. Miyagi attacked. He did some kind of rapid kicks in the air with both feet. Taiya blocked it easily, the kicks didn't pack much power. When Miyagi landed he thrusted his palm into Taiya's forehead. Taiya stretched back, her spine fully extended at an 80 degree angle. She used the momentum to bring her right, forward, foot up into Miyagi's stomach. Miyagi grabbed Taiya's foot and twisted her ankle. He spun her around and threw her. Taiya hit the wall again, how ironic.

Taiya grunted as she hit the wall. She swore she heard a crack but didn't pay any mind to it. She pushed off the wall and head butted Miyagi, who blocked it with crossed forearms. Taiya took the pain and lunged her two fists into his stomach, making him stumble backwards. She fell on the floor breathing heavily. Miyagi needed to catch his breath also.

Crane
Type: TaiJutsu
Rank: E Rank
Effect: Used to get travel for kick to knee
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Natural stance, move one leg up and place bottom of foot on the inside of the other knee.

"Very good. You are outstanding today. I am going to be soar tonight. This is the last stance I am teaching you today, I am too tied. No complaints, either, or I will have you doing sit ups until you pass out."

Taiya was going to argue, she still wanted to train but was scared to now after Miyagi said that. Without a word, Miyagi stood up on his left foot. Lifting up his right foot he put it on his left leg, jsut above the knee so it didn't fall easily.

"Crane."

Miyagi took a deep breath and stretched his arms out elegantly. Taiya thought he did resemble a crane. She copied him. The stance made her feel calm. She took a deep breath also and spread out her 'wings'. She looked at Miyagi, who smirked. He charged at Taiya so fast she didn't even know what happened.

Taiya's body reacted instinctively. She had blocked Miyagi's fatal chop which would've been to her neck. She planted her right foot and grabbed his arm with her left hand. She half-pulled Miyagi over and released, instantly elbowing him in the gut. She twisted and kneed him in the gut with her right leg and finally kicked him straight up. Miyagi hit the ceiling with a smile. Taiya looked bewildered.

"You will have to do better."

Miyagi dropped down on the floor heavily and with an opened palm he thrusted his right hand into her stomach. She stumbled back and Miyagi continued his assault. A barrage of punches and open palm thrusts. Taiya defended for the most part but was caught with another palm thrust to her gut. She fell on her back and sighed deeply. She sat up and looked at Miyagi who was quickly walking towards the table with his back turned to Taiya. Taiya stood up and started to charge him again.

"Stop!"

Miyagi screamed. Taiya stopped right behind him. Miyagi reached for the box on the table and shoved it into Taiya's hands.

"Congratulations. Now, go get some rest."

Miyagi disappeared behind a door. The sound of his foot steps faded. Taiya looked at the small box, what could possibly be in it. She opened it up, when she looked inside she dropped to her knees and covered her mouth with her hand. She pulled off her mask and reached into the box. With her eyes swelling up with tears she rushed out of the dojo with her new white belt in hand.
