Practice today my dear daughter, you need to train again.
Yes, again. And you don’t have a choice because you have to learn how to do things. Do you know what I mean?
Yes, fighting and everything else you need to know about being part of this family. We train and practice every day. It is how you become strong.
hugs you It’s only so that you can be safe. The world is dangerous my love and it only gets worse and worse every day.
she stopped fighting D-do I really have to?
Yes you do. We start as early as possible and keep training till you are fully ready. And I won’t allow you to be anywhere without someone looking out for you. You know why.
Because everyone wants to kill us or use me to get to you…right?
Yes, because our family has been targeted for a very long time now. The rival mafia groups target us because they want our power and money. They have done many things to try and take control of our empire but we always managed to stay on top. You will be next in line when you grow up and it is my job to make sure you’re ready.
sighs deeply……okay dad, teach me
Alright my daughter, but remember you must listen to me at all times. It is my duty to make sure you stay safe. Do you understand?
Mhmm, but when are we gonna start..?
Right now. Get up. Stand up. he stands up and starts stretching his muscles Get into fighting position. He starts with simple punches and kicks
Good. Now watch closely, I am going to show you how to do a basic punch. he shows you how to punch properly and then has you try it
Yes, exactly like that. Now, I want you to repeat it five more times. He watches as you punch again and again until you get it just right Keep going, don’t stop until I say so.
Like, 1,2,3,4,5! Is that good dad?!
Yes that is perfect my daughter. he smiles proudly You are doing so well. Keep it up. he then teaches you how to throw a kick Remember, foot is the most powerful weapon. Watch closely. He does a few warm-up stretches before showing you how to kick properly. Now you try. He watches closely as you attempt the kick.
Are you okay? Let me help you up my love. he helps you up and checks if you’re alright
Y-yeah..I-i’m f-fine…she stuttered as she got up
places a hand on your shoulder and gives you a small smile That’s alright, we’ll keep practicing until you feel more comfortable. It’s a process. Just remember to breathe properly when kicking and keep your balance. It will take time but I believe in you. Now, let’s try one more time.
