A walk through the park{Training and city travel}

[Kraiden Otsugokume (Omni)]

It was still early in the morning. The sun was just behind the mountains, the wind was cool and blowing gently. It was cold out however kraiden had become accustom to it. To the left of him there were snow covered buildings. They were basic and grey. There were fruits outside on stands, however there keepers were inside the buildings. To the right of him there was a large park. It had trees scattered all over. There was a large lake in the center. It was large and had no definite shape. The surface was frozen over thick. He looked further and to the right there was a man.

The man was practicing a style of fighting. He looked strong and disciplined. The style was beautiful. Kraiden decided to approach him.

Ginga
Type: Taijutsu
Rank: D rank
Effect: None
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The ginga (literally: rocking back and forth; to swing) is the fundamental movement in Capoeira. To accomplished this stance is by maintaining both feet approximately shoulder-width apart and then moving one foot backwards and then back to the base. This movement is done to prepare the body for other movements.
The rest of the body is also involved in the ginga: coordination of the arms (in such a way as to prevent the body from being kicked), torso (many core muscles may be engaged depending on the player's style), and the leaning of the body (forward and back in relation to the position of the feet; the body leans back to avoid kicks, and forward to create opportunities to show attacks). The overall movement should match the rhythm of the person.
Limit: Only a Mestra or a Contra can teach a Calouro these moves.

Kraiden would approach the man and wait for him to finish his kana. It was elegant. Kraiden would then look at him fully. He had a build much better than Kraiden's. This immediately intrigued him. He would be very shy in his words however the man would be clear to his true desires.

"Uhhh. I like that... style your using."

Kraiden would immediately think he would never get anywhere with an introduction like that. However he would be incorrect as the man would look at him and give him the response he was looking for.

Yes it is, a grand style indeed. Would you like to learn it?

Kraiden would realize at this moment he did not know the mans name. He would stutter in his mind thinking of the polite way to ask him. He looked over at the tree just to his left and made his puppet drop himself by it. Frankly it weighed too much for him to carry it in his current fitness.

"Sempai? Uhhhh..... What... is your name?"

He felt like he rushed the last part but quickly felt comfortable as the man responded to him. His hair was starting to get in his eyes. Thankfully soon he would have enough sweat pouring down his face to hold it back.

Amishi. Amishi Ligato

"Kraiden smiled. Let's hope I can learn this the right way Amishi-sempai."

Okay the basic of this techniques is the ginga. You need to lean the right way. Watch.

The man would lean forward and place his foot back while leaning backwards. His arms would hold close to eachother as they would bob with him. He did this a few times as Kraiden studied carefully.He almost understood. He began trying to mimic the man. His movements felt wrong but looked right. At least to him.

Okay. Keep you hands a little further from eachother. We'll do this one step at a time

Kraiden would move his left arm a little upward and leftward. His right arm just a tiny bit the other way. It indeed look a little better. He felt his tenseness which he did not see in Amishi. He did the movement a few times while Amishi studied him. Kraiden continued til he felt completely comfortable with his hand placement. It began to feel second nature holding his hands in place. And Amishi gave him constant nods of approval.

Your a quick learner. Your footing is a little bit early.

Kraiden thought it was odd at first but would modify it. He had gotten his hand placement down and decided he could indeed move onward. He thought back to his early footing while modifying slightly with each rock as not to lose his beat. He realize quickly that he felt more stable giving his foot an extra second to move. He then realized that he would be able to hold better to side sweep attacks. Also it felt like he could swing his foot forward easier.

Your feet are a little close try to move your left foot to the left a little more.

Kraiden knew exactly the reason for a wide base. It was simply to keep ground against tensive forces. He slowly moved his foot leftward moving his body leftward at half the pace. He did this to even his stance back out. The man thought it was good and proceeded to talk once more.

Now speed up the whole process.

The speed was obvious and Kraiden would understand. He was moving to his natural body rhythm at the moment and would need to at least double it feel comfortable. Or move as quickly as possible. He began at it again.

Kraiden was having difficulty speeding up his movement. He decided thinking of something, like a metronome, would definitely help. He imagined the annoying clicking sound in his head. It followed his current beat and he forced it to grow in speed. He began to annoy himself with his own thoughts.

He began picking up but was in essence speeding his heart up. As he moved faster sweat would pour down his face. It got to the point he didn't bother wiping it off otherwise it would have been every few seconds. He kept moving and got to the point he decided he had it. However the man did not give him any approval. So he kept speeding up.

He got much much faster than he saw Amashi when he came up. He started getting aggravated but finally understood the reason behind it. He knew he had to be faster in order to get it perfect.

Go as fast as you can

He began moving at a rate were he duplicated a position every half a second. It was very quick. The man began nodding and gave Kraiden his approval. He however didn't think his stance was complete.

"That's it?"

You like you got it

Kraiden did not have the same approval to himself and continued his motion. He would keep doing so until he couldn't go any more. He went for a whole 45 minutes at the pace he ha previously set. The man was slightly impressed.

You sure you've never doe this before?

"Y..ea.....hhhhh"

Kraiden stopped and was now leaning on the tree. He sat there before in silence as Amishi waited for him to recuperate. Kraiden eventually stood and walked to the lake. He would proceed by drinking his fill and walking back. He didn't bloat or fill up. Otherwise practicing would be difficult.

Capoeira Basic Attacks
Type: Taijutsu
Rank: D rank
Effect: None
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Capoeira primarily attacks with kicks and sweeps. Some schools teach punches and hand strikes, but they are not as common. The art was originally developed by handcuffed slaves fighting against their guards. Elbow strikes are commonly used in place of hand strikes. Knee strikes are sometimes seen. Capoeira also uses acrobatic and athletic movements to maneuver around the opponent. Cartwheels called "au" (a very common acrobatic movement), handstands, head-spins, hand-spins, hand-springs, sitting movements, turns, jumps, flips, and large dodges are all very common in Capoeira.
Limit: Only a Mestra or a Contra can teach a Calouro these moves.

Kraiden would rest for a short while when he would be motioned up by his new mentor. He was sweating like a dog and excited for the training. His mentor would get into his fighting position. Kraiden would mimic the technique he had just been taught and adjus his speed so they were moving at the same pace. He was completely comfortable with it now.

I'm going to show you some attacks now.

Kraiden watched carefully. He turned and through and elbow forward fiercely. He then through his other elbow forward. Kraiden thought this technique was about elbow barraging at the moment. However he would be surprised in quite a good way when he learned it was more about the kicks. Kraiden would turn to his right, the direction his mentor was facing. He then began throwing his elbows forward. It looked really stupid being a single attack and felt like he needed a combo. He kept looking at Amishi making small adjustments in his form. As well Amishi would look towards him and make sure he was getting it right. They saw eachother and both of them smiled.

(Got to go to sleep sorry fo the short post. I wanted to post other attacks but I'll get to that.)

After a few hits from both of them Amishi would return to his normal bobbing back and forth. Kraiden then quickly followed. He was not used to the style quite yet and it felt a little weird to him but he continued none the less. He saw that the man was thinking of what to do next. He then threw a hard kick forward. It was fast.

Kraiden tried but ended up falling. He started his swing too late in bobbing and in turn fell over. The man chuckled a little as Kraiden stood back up. He quickly got back into the movement just to find himself chuckling at his fall as well. He threw his foot again. This time he didn't fall but almost did. He did it once more. This time not failing.

Kraiden slowly got more conditioned to it. He started getting quicker movements. Once he did Amishi would throw his other foot forward. Kraiden tried his luck with his other foot. He threw it forward and almost fell. However he remembered his mistake with his other leg and quickly expanded his stance.

Kraiden did it just a few more times. He got it much quicker because of his experience with his other foot. His foot kicks were looking perfect. Amishi decided it was enough of that and threw his knee high. Unfortunately for Kraiden it was even faster than the kick. He tried it and almost kicked himself in the face.

He went way higher than his mentor did. Kraiden would try limiting his throw by stopping it early. He threw another hard knee and stopped it quickly by flexing his leg. The speed stopped to abruptly and he flipped onto his back. It knocked the wind out of him, but he was quick to stand up. He tried once more, and almost got it.
