Sign-up/info: High School daily training sessions!

Since life is kicking Tora in the butt, she handed control of the OOC organization over to me for the high school martial arts training. (even though i'm hardcore late on this ;; sorry, everyone. really really sorry orz)

This happens every morning in the High School gym.

7 AM - meditation hour. Students perform qigong exercises to promote the growth and development of qi. This is usually lead by one of the upper level students.
*WHO TEACHES THIS USUALLY? ALSO, CAN I GET MORE VOLUNTEERS?

8 AM - Beginner level students. Drilled in basic martial arts forms and the weapon as a staff, this is the class for people who show up on the first day making fists with their thumbs on the inside/expecting to become Jackie Chan overnight.
*Zuko teaches this class.

9 AM - Midlevel. These are for people who can get into a horse stance, make a proper fist, maybe know a few basic forms - basically, anyone who has martial arts experience, but no expertise. They're drilled in hand-to-hand basics and the use of staff as a weapon.
*Zuko will also teach this class, but can we get some volunteers to take over occasionally?

10 - Weapons. This is for higher level staff, and swordwork.
*Umi teaches fencing/swordplay; Zuko will also be teaching swordsmanship and if anyone has twin swords or finds some, he can help you out too. I think Prydain does too? Anyone else want to get in on this?

11 - Advanced class. These kids will kick your ass and have a nice day. One day of the week is devoted to tactics, instead of actual physical fighting, so this is the class for discussion, advanced study, and the art of war.
*Zuko can lead this class too, but again, does anyone else teach it? Or would anyone else like to help? Anyone who'd like to help out on the tactics lessons is awesome too!

12 - Sparring. Students of equal skill, or students of skill fairly close, are matched against each other in mock fights. Anyone know what was usually done with this?
*Zuko and the other high level students/teachers (Umi, Prydain, Ty Lee, Minato, etc) can oversee this; any other volunteers?

1 - Gymnastics. (more info needed on what goes into this!)
*Ty Lee teaches this

2- Monster Avoidance techniques (more info needed on what goes into this!)
*Namikaze Minato teaches this

3 and on -- open gym.

If anyone has any changes to make on this or additions, post here with them! ALSO, here's a sign-up for teachers and students! The HS gym is pretty big, so classes can probably be doubled up. What we're looking for is anyone who can fill in some of the above open positions, as well as people to teach different kinds of techniques. This includes (but isn't limited to!): staff fighting, archery, kendo, different types of swordfighting and martial arts. Also, students! Can't have classes without students! People are also welcome and invited to drop in at any time -- these classes are informal, not the kind of thing people have to attend every day. We'd just like an idea of who might show up.

Last but not least, we'll probably be doing open logs in

discedo_logs from time to time for purposes of building CR and having fun. They're not required, but they'll be open to everyone! And now the moment you've been waiting for~

·Takato Matsuda |

gallantgoggles
Age:12
Primary fighting skill(s): Has memories and the subconscious reflexes of using a lance and shield. Can temporarily turn his digimon cards into real objects to aid him in battle. Headcanon says that all the changing back and forth from data and merging with his digimon partner has left him slightly stronger and with better tolerance for pain than most kids his age.
Other fighting skill(s): He has been taking the fighting classes for almost ten months now. Before he started he knew almost nothing of fighting without his digimon partner.
Skill level: intermediate

As a note, Takato will probably not be attending class for quite a while, due to breaking his arm recently.

·Danny Fenton |

invisibill
Age:15
Primary fighting skill(s): None that he will admit to.
But if he were being truthful, he has more than a year of almost full-time combat experience. All against ghosts. He is very fast on his feet and good at dodging, and also good at thinking up unorthodox attacks on the spot. Though there is something very odd about his combat style.

Other fighting skill(s): Danny wants to learn how to fight without ghost powers. Not that he will ever say this aloud.
Skill level: Claims to be beginner but is actually closer to advanced.

·Adrian Andrews |

notmanaging
Age: 23
Primary fighting skill(s): She doesn't really have any; I mean, back home she used to go jogging and stuff when she had the time, but...she usually didn't because she was really busy. And is thus kind of unfit.
Other fighting skill(s): She just wants to learn how to defend herself, really. She perceives herself as a generally weak person overall and is trying to rectify that.
Skill level: beginner

Kay Faraday |

stealyourlines
Age: 17
Primary fighting skill(s): She could maybe throw a punch if she has to, is a good jumper and can run without getting tired easily, but doesn't really fight and needs formal lessons. Or lessons in general.
Other fighting skill(s): She has dreams of becoming a ninja thief - and well, stealing the truth can be risky business, so it pays to be prepared.
Skill level: Beginner

Toushiro Hitsugaya (Japanese; responds better to Hitsugaya) |

ten_no_ryuu
Age: Appears to be around the age of 12-13, but is probably 60-70.
Primary fighting skill(s): Swordwork, mostly. He's agile and fast on his feet, and has learned to be good at climbing.
Other fighting skill(s): All of his other abilities are sealed by the chip, but for now, he'd like to be able to learn how to cover his tracks and some hand-to-hand combat if at all possible.
Skill level: Advanced.
Contact: silverhikari(at)live(dot)com (MSN, not on often) or send me a PM on this account.

Hope this is okay. I know he's old, and a spirit, but you're never too old to learn, right?

Student or teacher? Student.
Zack Fair |

lapdogmyass
Age: 17
Primary fighting skill(s): Swordwork and hand-to-hand combat, primarily. Although the latter does tend to be weaker and could use some work.
Other fighting skill(s): At the moment, most of his abilities are inhibited by the chip. He'd like to concentrate on more subtle combat related things. Stealth is as good of a starting point as any.
Skill level: (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Advanced.

Gracia Akechi-Hosokawa |

kagayakashi

Age: 18
Primary fighting skill(s): Hand-to-hand combat is her specialty because that's the only style of fighting she uses (not necessarily know? it's not clearly stated ;; she may have some knowledge of the sword and the bow and the naginata, but if anything it's all super duper basic.)

Other fighting skill(s): Her most effective method of fighting without the chip is her magic through musou usage (musou being something like chi).
Skill level: Intermediate leaning towards Advanced in terms of regular fighting, but magic is probably already Advanced.
Contact: AIM is singspiels and email is raventitan023@gmail.com ~~ONE DAY I'LL MAKE IT SOUND COOLER~~

FOR TEACHERS
What do they want to teach?: She'd be happy to teach both the midlevel and advanced classes for martial arts :D
Brief summary of what will be learned: For the midlevel, she'll be giving lessons on the forms and the style and how to properly execute them cleanly and powerfully, and maybe even throw in some sparring lessons and how to attack if your opponent is not a human. Evasion techniques and dodging so you can get far from your enemy will also be taught. For the advanced, she'll talk about the basic strategies of the art of war since she's been fighting since forever ;3; It's nothing super complicated and smart-sounding, but it's the basics anyway.

.Flonne |

fail_assassin
Age: 1512
Primary fighting skill(s): Elemental magical arts, which can be channeled through her staff. She is also good at using projectile weapons, such as a bow or a gun.
Other fighting skill(s): Flonne can perform physical attacks through blunt force, although these can be very weak. As an alternative to using projectile weapons, she can wield swords, spears or axes in their place. Also, despite all appearances and with all the determination in the world, she is strong enough to pick someone up and throw them a short distance.
