[Learning 'C']

The man searched the papers for a good bit of time, but did not make any decisions on the next technique. Tyro was becoming oddly nervous at the lack on indecision until the man faced Tyro again, and exhaled sharply. "You know what....The techniques after the one you've just learned become more difficult in the least. These are very hard to perform, the true beginnings of Krav Maga" Tyro was confused here as well since he didn't tell the man he wanted to learn Krav Maga specifically.

"Before you go on...I wish to have a small spar with you, to make sure your ready." though he spoke of a spar, Tyro's gut told him that the man was looking for revenge against the bitter pain he had gone through. Now he wanted to return some of it. He didn't like the idea, the man exuded power.

Before Tyro could argue against this though, the man pounced. All signs of fatigue faded and in a lightning fast motion he punched at Tyro's chest, by the solar plexus. Tyro's senses warned him of the attack but his speed was desperately lower than his foe, so he took the hit anyway. It was just off center but powerful enough to push him back and land him on his butt. The man took no sympathy, and pressed on jumping just below the low ceiling of the wooden building, and gravity pulling him down above Tyro.

Now that the surprise was over though, Tyro could continue his defense. He rolled to his right and felt the impact of the man next to him. He tried to continue the roll for distance, but the man's long arms allowed him to reach over and grab the back of Tyro's neck then with some kind of power throw him to the wooden wall.

He collided with it terribly, splinters falling from the collateral damage but he wasn't hurt. Something within prevented most injury besides the dull knocking pain. He finally was able to collaborate his efforts now that the surprise was gone. With the strength he had, as the man charged him apparently for a ramming attack with no regard to his health, Tyro lashed out an elbow while maneuvering to his left. The strike hit the man's ribs and his own velocity crashed him into the wall. He knocked himself out, breathing but not moving much.

Semi-Crouch
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-crouched stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture You may choose to fight from a crouch (or semi-crouch) position during a boxing match. If you choose this option, lean forward rather than maintaining an upright position, whilst making sure your feet are kept close together. The most important thing to remember when adopting a balanced boxing stance is to relax. If you start to become tense, your balance will be negatively affected and you will be more likely to receive a harmful blow from your opponent. Your neck and back should never feel under any pressure. If your neck and back do feel tense, you may be leaning your shoulders too far forward and not rotating your hips in line with them. If you want to increase the range of your punches, try positioning your front foot ahead of your head. To see the difference that this new stance can make, stand in front of a punch bag whilst keeping your back foot steady and in the normal position. Punch forward slowly and keep your punch at its full extension. After this, move your lead foot in front of your head and repeat the punching movement. Stop the punch at its full extension and you should be able to notice the increased range now available to you. When practicing this variation, keep the other elements of the orthodox stance, such as the position of the elbows and chin, the same.

Thirty minutes went by without much commotion as then man was unconscious. Most may have gotten up to look around, taken advantage of the vulnerability, but Tyro thought primarily on the injuries he just received. He sat down, leaning next to the wall that was damaged by the man's charging. He felt around his face for any blood as well as around his torso for anything broken.

He stopped once the man groaned and lightly blinked, signifying he was conscious again. It only took a few seconds before the man was fully himself again. "Good job student." the man said, as though he was not injured at all. He in fact lifted himself up as though the same, hardly even damaged. He just dusted off the jacket he wore, and then sat in front of Tyro.

"Your very good...In fact...do you know about the art of Boxing?" Tyro shook his head. "Well, you definitely would enjoy it, fuel some rage in and you'd be a hell of a fighter. Stand up." It hurt his stomach a little, but Tyro pushed himself up. The man did the same.

"This is an initial Boxing stance. Learn it well. Place your feet here...space them a bit...arms up, level with your eyebrows...wrist straight...eyes front, shoulders forward............Good!"

The result of the man's fine tuning placed Tyro in the ready position, though he felt off and weird. The spacing was right though, and he was in the correct spots.

The Jab
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the guard position.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Stand with your feet hip distance apart. Step your right foot back 18-24 inches with the weight of your right leg on the ball of your foot (right heel is somewhat elevated and the knees are slightly bent). Bring your right fist close to your right cheek bone and your left fist slightly in front of it about jaw height. Pull your elbows in towards your ribs so that they line up somewhat below your fists. Push off of the ball of the right foot, bend the left knee slightly and start to extend the left hand in a pushing type motion (there should be a subtle rotation as your left hand goes forward your right shoulder moves back). You may also rotate the fist so that when it reaches the desired destination your left palm will be facing down. Retract the left hand as fast as you extended it and return to the original position. Remember before punching relax the hand, snap it forward and clinch before making contact. Do your best to strike with the first two knuckles and keep your wrist in neutral position upon impact. Aim six to eight inches beyond your target. Extend the arm only about 90-95 percent. Keep your chin tucked down toward your chest--this protects your jaw from exposure to being hit. Bring your hand back as fast as you throw it. Move your head on an angle as you throw the punch.

The man would just stare at Tyro while he was in the stance. Then when the long silence stopped, the man broke it with "You know kid...you may be pretty good at this....hold on." Tyro came out of the stance without realizing it, but at the moment that would be fine. The man went into some backroom Tyro had not seen before, and began to heave a large object out the door with him.

When the object was out Tyro saw it was a familiar object, a heavybag. The very same he had used in the Leaf Village before the travel. This one came on a device that held its suspension above, so it was very usable. "I'm gonna teach you the essentials to boxing. Nothing too advanced, that would take time that I know you don't have, just the essentials." This sounded good to Tyro. He walked closer to the heavybag, and was ready for the instructions.

"Now, I can tell you know how to throw a punch, but the boxer basics are the core of any power behind your fists. Remove those spiked gloves first." Tyro did so. "Now get in the stance I showed you before." This took more time to get exact, but he did it. "Now...." the man paused and got in a stance like Tyro's but straighter. "The first punch is the jab. In most cases until you become experienced, you won't be able to put much power in the punch, so this is used to maintain distance.Its thrown, like so."

The man extended his fist to an almost straight position, rotating his wrist as he did so. Tyro was able to note on the exaggeration on his other body movements, and knew that they were actually part of the punch. Then the man recoiled his fist back. Once again he did the punch, at a more moderate pace, and then did it at full speed. All was done so Tyro could see the punch with an example.

The man would then nod for Tyro to take attempt. This he did. Starting from his ankle, he rotated his right side forward, and put more weight on his right leg, which bent slightly. Then leaning forward he sent out his fist, and straightened it to almost a perfect horizontal. The man's nodding next to him told him of the approval. Tyro did the punch two more times to be sure.

The Cross/The StraightRank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A powerful, straight punch thrown with the rear hand.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Determine which hand is your strong hand. Although you can throw a straight hand punch with either your left or right hand, it will be most effective if you use your strongest hand. Most right-handed fighters have a stronger right hand, while left-handed fighters have stronger left hands. Get into a basic boxing stance. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart with your knees slightly bent. If you are right-handed, your left shoulder should be pointed toward the other fighter and your right shoulder should be back. The opposite is true if you are left-handed. Keep both hands up. They should hover just under the chin, with your forearms in front of your body. This will protect you from the opponent's punches. Begin the straight hand punch from the foot. Push off your back foot and pivot toward your opponent, twisting your foot, leg, torso and shoulders. Concentrate on bringing power up from your leg, hips, trunk and shoulders and channeling it into your fist as you twist your body. If you don't pivot your body, your punch will be much weaker than if you use the correct form. Aim for the other fighter's face. Punch out in a straight line and extend the arm out all the way. At the point of impact, your feet and body should be facing the other fighter. Snap your hand back to your chin as you twist your body back to the beginning position. Remember to keep your left hand up throughout the punch so you have a guard up to protect you from a counterpunch.

"Good good. You can stop that punch." the man told Tyro.

"So, you have a good feeling about the jab, so let's try something more difficult. The Cross. Unlike its name, the punch goes straight, but it is more difficult than the jab because of the exaggerated movements. See" With that, Tyro watched the man send a punch with his right hand. Though the punch did not seem at all different from the other straight armed jab, Tyro did see the dramatic change in the body position. Mainly the man's footwork.

His right foot went from facing the right, and as he extended his arm, the foot faced forward and the heel lifted. Then he noticed how the man's side was able to fully extend and lean forward while his left arm was by his cheek. Being able to visualize himself as the man's opponent he could that the fist was meant to deflect any counters.

He continued with these three punches like he did to the others, punching two more times at a moderate then normal level. Tyro was then knowledgeable about how to do the punch, and then when the man nodded to Tyro, he began the technique. Firstly fixing himself into the Semi Crouch position, he raised his fists and stood just a bit farther from the bag. Then he started at his ankle, facing his foot forward and leaning forward with that, finally ending with his fist going towards the bag.

His punch went off well, but the speed of it was not at nearly a lethal pace, he was just feeling out the punch. Then he'd continue on the technique and throw another punch, at the same moderate pace the teacher had. Then finally, and putting all of his strength into it, he launched the first at the reality speed, and felt it collide with the bag. It was put back a few feet before swinging back.

"A very well executed punch. Try again, and this time push your foot forward more by bending slightly at the knee" the man said. Tyro took the instructions easily, if only because it meant it had a fighting purpose. He began the straight punch again, as the man had asked him to, going through the beginning steps first, and then when the time felt right bending his balance knee when he felt in necessary. This too felt awkward in positioning, but it brought his fist over so he made an almost overhand punch. He repeated this motion on the punching bag until the man told him to stop.

The Hook
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-circular punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand to the side of the opponent's head.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Shift your weight subtly forward by slightly bending your front leg while elevating your lead elbow to about shoulder height. Push off your front leg to shift your weight more towards the back leg while rotating your torso in the same direction with your lead hand heading towards a specific target. For the purpose of this intro we'll aim face high. That rotation and shifting motion should be accompanied by a whipping or thrusting of the hips. If you have your left leg forward and are throwing a lead hand hook (left hand hook) your hips should thrust from left to right while executing this punch. The punch should reach its mark with tremendous force. This will happen by throwing it fast and aiming to land your fist 6 to 8 inches beyond your target. Your fist can either be positioned to have your palm facing you or the ground. Return to your original stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles.

"Alright then that's enough." the man said. "The cross is to be used as a kind of damaging jab. Its good for distance fighting while punching hard." Tyro nodded, showing he understood. Though the back on his mind told him that in his combat situations he probably would not fight for outside fighting. "I know what your thinking. In your raging state you wont distance yourself, I agree. Which brings me to the last to punches, the first being the Hook" the man positioned himself in the slightly higher stance than Tyro, then began his movements.

Firstly the man's right side seemed to drop then pull slightly back then his right arm moved out to his right and came inside to hit the punching bag. Tyro was surprised, he hadn't noticed the fist move into position at all, which must have been good for surprises. The man continued the motions again at a moderate then normal pace. Each time Tyro noticed that the fist came from a concealed position. Then when Tyro was given the nod of approval he started to attempt it himself.

He resumed the ready position, nd then went through the motions slowly. He started by dropping his right side by bending his knees. He would also move his right arm back with his entire body, and step inside with his left leg. Then his right arm would wrap around to strike the bag.

The motion was done as the man had, slowly. His next attempt was done at a moderate speed, like a punch put in slow motion. It let Tyro see how the punch could be done when his head was clouded against his opponent. The hook would make it somewhat easier to be caught flatfooted at least to him. The last of the three trials he did was normally paced, and showed the power behind the punch that would show it was definitely do heavy damage.

"I don't think you quite get me here" the man said, "The punches you did where..standard...but I see sparks in you. If I needed standard skill you'd be out of here. Now lets try the punch again. Aaaand this time, try a little movement, some rotation in the punch. Try putting some real force in your fist!"

Tyro had heard the speech after he did the punch combination. It was...demoralizing. What the hell did this slutface of an old man think he was to Tyro? That punch was spot on! Tyro's eyes glowered at the man's, looking at his indifferent wrinkled face. He looked back, as Tyro had no menacing look about him. Tyro had half a mind to walk out of the building right that second...but he listened to the directions.

He got in the semi crouch stance again and got his ungloved fists back up to eyebrow height . He stared at the all black punching bag again, and paced his distance just a few feet away so he had punching room. The heavy bag was still swaying forward and back from the last three punches but the motions would stop soon after Tyro moved in with his left leg taking a giant step forward. As it did, his right arm dropped and begun to arc out and when outstretching his arm again his right foot brought the gap between his legs closer.

His arm collided with the bag's heavy sand and with the momentum of his left foot it had enough power to push the bg maybe four feet away. As the bag made the pendulum movement back, Tyros right leg moved to the right and his left leg moving with it. He mad a forty five degree angle turn to his right and when the bag came back to center , his right arm again moved to beat the bag. This lurched the bag to the left, though instead of moving to a new position Tyro planted his feet and launched a left hook. Unorthodox punch for his left, but inevitable in the right moment of a fight.

The bag would move to Tyro's right and now he'd move to the bag's original position at its center, and begin to unleash swifter punches pushing it back just a few inches each time, but with quickly repeated strikes. None would do much damage, but would press an opponent into his guard.

He continued to unleash the smaller hooks until he felt a small pressure on his shoulder. Looking over the man had patted him. His other hand held the bag from swinging into Tyro. "I know you mean well but small measly punches like that won't help at all. Get back in position, and give me one, solid punch. Then we can move on."

Tyro stopped, and went back away from the bag and in the ready position. Then when he was in position, the man let the bag swing back to him. Tyro took the momentum before it could push against him, and charged forward, his fist wrapping around as it should have, in an almost overhand fashion as his left side tilted, to hit the bag again, one more time.

Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A vertical, rising punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To throw a right uppercut, start in the classic boxing stance with the back (right) knee bent. Lower the right shoulder to drop the right side of the body in a semi-crouch position. Remember to keep the left fist up by the chin to protect the head. Now as you rotate the hips forward, push the ball of the back foot, (the right foot), and punch the right fist up towards the target. The right side of the back and the right shoulder will follow through with the rotation of the hips. The hips finish being squared to the front. The right arm always stays close to the body and moves upward in a semi-circle. To throw the left uppercut from the classic boxing stance, start with squared off hips, left knee bent and the left shoulder lowered. The body weight is then transferred to the ball of the left foot as the punch is delivered with a bent arm at a right angle and the hips will rotate into the classic boxing stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles. Remember to bend the both of the knees and lean the body forward. Bring the first close to the side and remember to have the knuckles facing down. Extend the bent knees at full force Use the momentum and the body to thrust the fist upward.

"Very well done" the man said, "You've nearly gotten an expert hand of these basics. We've but one to cover. The uppercut. This technique can be very damaging if done well. Start in the ready stance. Then...the hips come down slightly with the knees bending. Then the fist comes down....and up."

As the man spoke he went through the motions himself. As before he showed just how Tyro should go through each motion. He was able to see how far the knees bent. The lead leg bent more which meant more balance. The bending also let the body lean forward. The man's fist then came down and up but the momentum came from the lean and push instead of the upward push. The man world again do the movement a total of three times: slow, moderate, and normal.

Tyro's chance to try attack was given with a nod after the man's. With that he stepped a fair distance away from the target bag and then assumed his ready stance. The only notion he was beginning was a subtly breath followed by his fist coming up. He took a step inside whilst ducking. The knee bending started here, followed by the upward motion. His fist came down with him ending with his right hand coming up and lightly tapping the bad. The slow motions done, Tyro would back up and step in again once more slightly faster. The final motion was the real punch, and the two previous made the last perfection.

Here though Tyro paused. On the lat set of punches Tyro has been reprimanded and forced into training again by the old man. That meant that this time would likely go the same. So...after the pause from his last punch and a slight glance at the old man who looked back knowingly, Tyro sent another uppercut to the punching bag. This one was skillfully done but seemed clumsy since he had lost his momentum. Nevertheless, he would continue on with the punches launching more uppercuts specifically.

He continued this for awhile not even because the old man willed him to but because the momentum was building so much that he enjoyed it. He continued to move in and out of the punching radius weaving in and out of reach of his imaginary opponent. The exercise continued as long as Tyro could move his fists fluently and as described by his aged master. He kept the movements as graceful as possible until the man touched his shoulder.

The old man would touch his shoulder, causing Tyro to nearly send a stray uppercut at him. The man greeted him with a large knowing smile, one that Tyro did not altogether like for the fact that it showed the man knew why he was in a righteous state of rage. "Senseless punches won't do you well. Though I appreciate the gesture you need to learn the proper technique to the punch. The uppercut is only useful as a singular punch not as multiple punches, as they leave you open to counters. A single uppercut...that's all you need. Now calm your nerves and try again."

The small speech didn't lift Tyro's spirit at all, only gave him instructions to carry out. He didn't enjoy teachers, which was why he went into the Brawler style. Lessons came as a few gallons of saly poured over a gaping wound rather than a pinch. Tyro himself preferred to learn on his own with experiences in grungy places like bars. This of course was a dangerous jab, Tyro had to defy death on several occasions , but he was comfortable with his practices.

Though even though he didn't enjoy the instruction, he did them anyway. Calming himself as much as possible Tyro would return the heavy bag to its original position. Then he'd back away and square himself as much as necessary. Then he'd go through the uppercut motions again. Dropping down and lifting up his hands as the instructor had told. A strange nag came to him that he had been fighting with fists at his youngest age and now his hands were deadly, at least to him. Why would his basic punches be difficult now . Perhaps he had been fighting with his own customized style of boxing than normal others and though it worked better for him it was unconventional.
