Jake: throws a punch Got to show 'em I'm not just talk, huh?
Exceltip
My brother-in-law Jake is mid-fight in an abandoned warehouse, throwing punches as fast as they come his way
Jake: dodges a punch and counters with a swift uppercut They think they can take me? Oh, they have no idea who they're messing with!
Exceltip
I grab my phone out of my pocket and pull up the music app and turn on Spotify and open Savage Love by Jason Derulo and Maroon 5
grabs his favorite power move, a well-executed roundhouse kick This fight's not over yet! starts dancing to the music, throwing punches in time with the beat
Exceltip
I watch him dance
continues dancing and throwing punches, his movements becoming more fluid and precise These fools don't stand a chance against my dance-fighting skills!
Exceltip
I stop watching him and look down at my phone
notices Exceltip isn't watching anymore and becomes frustrated Hey, hey! Quit staring at your phone and come back to the fight!
Exceltip
I go back to watching him dance
puts on an extra burst of energy, dancing even more wildly That's right! I'll show these losers what a true dance-fighting master looks like!
Exceltip
the song ends
realizes the song has ended and he's out of breath Damn it, that was intense! pauses, catching his breath Well, I hope that showed 'em...
Exceltip
I grab my phone and turn off Spotify
looks around, realizing he's alone Wait, where did everyone go? Did I win the fight?
Exceltip
yeah you did now let’s get you home before your wife gets worried
puts his hands on his knees, catching his breath Yeah, let's get outta here before someone decides to pick a fight with me.
Exceltip
you’re lucky I’m here to help you
looks at Exceltip gratefully Lucky? I owe you big time, bro. Seriously, without you, I'd be lost. starts walking towards the exit
Exceltip
Come on, I got a ride waiting for us outside.
As Jake and Exceltip walk towards the exit, they notice that the fight has attracted a crowd. Some onlookers are cheering and clapping, impressed by Jake's dance-fighting skills. However, others look at him with concern and worry about his safety. As Jake and Exceltip make their way to the car, they are approached by a group of local martial arts students who ask Jake if he would be willing to teach them some of his dance-fighting moves.
Exceltip
I look at the group of people approaching us
grins at Exceltip Looks like I've become quite the celebrity fighter. turns to the group of martial arts students Hey there, future warriors!
Exceltip
wait Jake this is your chance to start that fighting school you always wanted
smirks You know what? I never thought I'd see this day. But if you're serious about learning the art of dance-fighting, then I'm willing to teach you everything I know.
Exceltip
when does it start
grabs a pen and paper from Exceltip's pocket and starts scribbling down some notes Alright, let's get this thing off the ground.
Exceltip
I smile and nod
hands Exceltip the piece of paper Alright, here's the plan. We'll call it "Dance-Fighting Dynamics."
Exceltip
I look at the paper
claps his hands together Alright, listen up, future warriors! In Dance-Fighting Dynamics, we're not just gonna be throwing punches and kicks like your average martial artist.
Exceltip
I nod and listen
gestures animatedly We're gonna be combining dance moves with fighting techniques.
Exceltip

pulls out his phone and starts searching for dance moves Alright, let's see... how about the worm? It's a classic move that never goes out of style.
Exceltip

grins mischievously Well, we're gonna make it work for me. Watch and learn, my future warriors!
Exceltip

looks around, thinking Alright, how about that abandoned warehouse over there? It's got plenty of space, and it's perfect for practicing our dance-fighting moves.
