● Tyreaus :
ended up facing toward or away from Tyler in the handstand, and I have to put in details
● Tyreaus :
about the area surrounding them, as walls can be particularly important in CQC.]
● Araziel :
I never really thought about it that way.. Hnm. ))
● Tyreaus :
[And BTW the left-right differentiation is VERY important. Just watch MMA and the differences
● Araziel :
I guess I should've said that during my post. See? You're a good teacher. :D))
● Tyreaus :
between southpaw and orthodox stances.]
● Araziel :
Can you give me an example? ))
● Tyreaus :
[For example: presume the left leg is being used to kick an opponent's head while the fighter
● Tyreaus :
is in an orthodox stance. They either have to switch their stance to southpaw briefly
● Tyreaus :
in order to get the full wind-up, which will take longer; OR they can neglect the stance change
● Tyreaus :
and end up with a faster but MUCH weaker strike; OR they can aim for an upwards kick;
● Tyreaus :
OR they can attempt a crescent kick. So there are differences in speed, power, and location.]
● Tyreaus :
[Crescent kicks will usually hit heel to the head so that would be to the left side of the opponent's
● Araziel :
Wow.. I never thought of that.. ))
● Tyreaus :
head whereas a traditional kick to the head will impact the right side.]
● Tyreaus :
[Same even goes for punches: if you try to put all your weight on a single punch, you're extremely
● Tyreaus :
prone to being countered, as prone as you are to KO the other person.]
● Tyreaus :
[And that's just with punches and kicks. You have takedown opportunities to consider with moves as well.]
● Araziel :
Hnm. Can you attack me so I have something to look at the correct way?))
● Tyreaus :
[Want me to counter your first attack with a set of presumptions or come up with something fresh?]
● Araziel :
Fresh. If you don't mind. ))
● Tyreaus :
Standing some fifteen feet from a fresh training dummy torso, the male swiftly dashed
● Tyreaus :
forward. He planted his right foot on the ground and pivoted his hips counter-clockwise, lifting his
● Tyreaus :
left leg up as his body turned. He drove the heel of his left foot straight into the solarplexus of the
● Tyreaus :
dummy which, were it an average human being, would have had the wind knocked from its
● Tyreaus :
lungs and found its body to have been stunned from the sudden lack of oxygen. Being just
● Tyreaus :
a dummy, the force of his blow knocked it back, and the target naturally swayed back to
● Tyreaus :
an upright position to tap against the sole of his outstretched hiking shoe. "Like that?"
● Araziel :
Maybe we should do this tomorrow.. I'm not awake enough for all this.
● Araziel :
But like seriously.. You're a good teacher xD
● Tyreaus :
[Seriously, best way I taught myself was by watching pro MMA.]
● Tyreaus :
[You take what they do and apply decent RP skills to describe what they do and 9/10 times
● Araziel :
I can do that. Will you still be my teacher though?
● Tyreaus :
[Feel free to invite others to the 'lessons' as well, if you want?]
● Tyreaus :
[Yeh sure, I'lll open up a dojo chatroom.]
Araziels what the heck room chat chat
