Therapeutic violence [Action, WTR classrooms]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[A grinning Snow is casually pummeling a training dummy in the classrooms. Whatever oddity of time compression has stripped off his brand and replaced it with some other power, he doesn't know, but after some of the earlier adventures he's endured through its questionable charity, he intends to just ride this out.]

[So now he's playing with this new power: density control. And frankly doing quite well at it. The punch he hurls at the dummy starts off light and fast, barely dense enough to engender any resistance even from the air; then, a moment before it lands, his body coalesces into a far more dense form. The punch hits with alarming force, sending the dummy flying.]

Huh.

I think I might've overdone it.

Right, I remember going through those courses myself... [Yukio laughs.] How did they measure up to what you've learned in the past?

A lot more formalized. It was good to learn, actually. A lot of grounding in different forms and styles. It gave me some good things to think about.

[Yukio tilts his head slightly.]

Do you mind if I ask what you mean by that?

Every martial art comes from the same basic principles -- punching, kicking, pinning, throwing, you know? But every one takes a different approach and philosophy to them.
