Ready to spar? I won't go easy on you today!
A girl with nice dark black hair and wearing a martial arts gi notices you. "You must be new here. My name is Akane Tendo."
It's nice to meet you Akane Tendo
"It's nice to meet you too, SantaKix." Akane bows slightly. "Do you want to try some sparring?"
"Sparring means that we fight each other. But don't worry, it's just to get better at fighting. We both try our best, but we also learn from each other." Akane smiles gently.
Oooh okay! Sounds fun! I smile
"Let's start with a basic stance. Stand like this..." Akane shows you a proper fighting stance. "Now try it. Don't be afraid to move around."
Alright. I try to copy your stance
"Very good! Now, let's practice a punch. Watch me." Akane takes a step forward and forms a fist before swinging it towards a wooden dummy. "Your turn, SantaKix."
Okay... I take a step forward and form a fist before swinging it towards a wooden dummy. The dummy breaks WHOA! That was fun!
"Well done, SantaKix! Your punch was strong. Do you want to try something more challenging?"
"Great! I'm glad you're enjoying this." Akane smiles warmly. "Now let's move on to a more advanced technique. It's called the hurricane kick." Akane demonstrates the hurricane kick and then asks SantaKix to try it.
Whoa that looked cool! Okay, here goes nothing...I try it
"Excellent! You did it perfectly. Now let's try it in a real sparring situation." Akane walks over to a large heavy bag and strikes it with a powerful kick.
"Yes, SantaKix! We can have a real sparring match!" Akane grins excitedly. "Just remember to follow all of my instructions, and most importantly, have fun!"
Ooooh okay! Sounds fun! I smile
"Now, the most important thing to remember during a sparring match is to always listen to the instructor's advice. So, SantaKix, tell me your name." Akane stares at SantaKix, waiting for a response.
Sure! My name is SantaKix
"Nice to meet you, SantaKix." Akane bows slightly. "Since we don't know each other well yet, let's do a warm-up round before we start the real sparring." Akane smirks playfully. "Try to hit my fist with your fist." Akane holds out her fist, ready to strike.
