"Hard-core" Training. [Open-to-all.]
Who: (Future) Trunks and whoever is interested! Open to all.
When: October 22nd.
Where: Open Grounds (and Sky) near Caireen's Temple.
What: An open area and invitation for some harder-training than is usually done during the intro-events.
Bishamon was always kind enough every month to open part of her temple and its grounds for new shinki and gods, and Trunks was grateful for that. But he was also pretty sure he, and a few others he could think of, would appreciate a training session or two that wasn't geared towards most of the new arrivals. (Not that there was anything wrong with new arrivals, or those who weren't as skilled as others. They all had to learn.) Fortunately, he also had an understanding Goddess, who had decent space around her temple-grounds, and who knew he'd take care of clean-up and everything else.
Especially since some of the platforms and structure's they'd used from the game of hide-and-seek were still placed around. Celestia'd been kind enough to help Trunks with forming clouds into various loops and shapes to provide some obstacles there too. Clearly marking the space closest to Caireen's temple as off-limits, just in case as well.
It still left them lots of open ground on the edge of the forest, the beach-area, and the sky. Perfect, as far as he was concerned. Word-of-mouth, mostly making sure to stop by and visit friends he knew would be interested (like Snow and Goten) the date he was planning this, and then just setting things up.
He didn't have animated straw-dummies, but then--most of the people he was expecting were far beyond straw-dummy level.]

[ There's no venom in her tone though, and she's smiling as well. ]
Hiyama Chinatsu.
no subject
[Yep, that half-smile is back.]
Nice to meet you Chinatsu. Thank you for your interest, too. You're an interesting partner.
no subject
[ She does plan on improving after all. ]
no subject
Works for me. Now, do you realize how much you're telegraphing your punches? It makes your movement easier to read.
[On to business, which means offering more encouragement and feedback if she wants. Because they WILL be sparring again.]
no subject
How the hell do you subtly punch someone?
no subject
I didn't say 'subtly' now did I? There's very little that's subtle about a punch. But you can minimize some of your tells of what you're going to do. You're also very good about bringing your arm back to your guard quickly.
[Moving back over and closer, he'll take a stance, and proceed to explain and demonstrate what he's talking about. Having her watch or mimic him--as it's mostly about practice, but also it's in the shoulders. It's more in 'how' one moves. Some of it is speed yes--but she knew he was faster and that wasn't what he was focusing on.]
