Anubis awoke this morining rather late, as the sun was already up for 3 hours. He walked around his house and got some breakfast, all the while thinking he forgot something. As soon as he finished his meal, he remebered what t was that he forgot. He was going to be late to the dojo to contine his traning. He quickly threw his empty bowl at the sink and ran out the door. Anubis didn't live far from the center of town where to dojo was, but it wasnt right next door either. As he ran through the crowded city streets, he knocked over dozens of people. Finally making it to the dojo, Anubis straightened up and entered. As he entered, he say his sensei, Usaka Tsunahara, standing at the end of the circular mat in the middle waiting for him.Anubis walked forward some more then stopped and bowed at the waist, his back completly straight as he bowed towards her.After waiting a few seconds, Anubis sprung back up and proceeded to walk to the middle of the mat to continue his study of the Battojutsu style.
Usaka walked over to Anubis and said "Today we will comence the learing of the Front Thrust. it is a basic technique that will allow you to draw your blade, strike and sheath it all in one flowing motion. Now watch me closely as I preform this move." As she finished saying this, she comenced her attack on the air. Her moves were quick as ligtining, yet as graceful as a ballette dancers. Anubis wachted this intently and spaced out for a second on how deadly and graceful this attack was. Usaka's soft voice suddenly brough him back to where he was and told himself to not let his mind wander at all during this. "Now it is your turn to learn this move. First, unsheath your blade quickly and follow my movements," she said, as Anubis listened to her and did as she did. "Now thrust your blade foreward," Anubis thrust his blade in front of him. "Good, now sheath your sword again." Anubis slid his katana back into its sheath. "Ok, now the gaol is to be able to do this all in one motion by combining those three movements. But for now we need you to get faster at those three seperate moves going into the next one. So, unsheath your blade, thrust forward, and sheath it once again." As she finished saying this, Anubis unshathed his blade thrust it forward and re sheathed it. He continued in this fashion for several hours, all the time with Usaka watching his every move and making sure what he did was the right way to do it in. Every now and then, his blade would tremble a little in his arms when he thurst it into his unseen enemy adn she would say "Striking an oppenent like that will not save your village if it came under attack. Now do it perfectly."
It had been 10 hours since Anubis went to the dojo and his forerm, bicept, shoulder, and back were all burning with an intense pain, caused from the constant repetitvie motions of the Front thrust. With each time he did the movements, his thrust was slowly moving towards the ground more and more. "I think you understand the basics of this move now, so go home and get some rest." Usaka said to Anubis as he sheathed his blade for the last time that night. Anubis straigthened up once more saying, "thank you Sensei for your guidance." then bowed beofre her. He straightened up and walked out the door. Before he was out the door, he heard her call to him saying, "next time dont be late Anubis!" Anubis walked to his home, his entire body aching all over from the exercise. When he reached his house, he could barely lift his arm enough to grab the door handle and pull it open. once inside, he staggered towards his bed and fell on it, going right to sleep.
