"Good logic behind your statements Bella. Let's hope none of you ever have to directly find out which would hurt more though. Blake here was a military man once, I'm sure he could tell us from experience but let's not ask him unless we have to. So your homework assignment for today, do some research and back up any theories you have. Even a direct demonstration can sometimes be a fluke so double check what you've seen today with what you can find in your books. Understood? Alright, you're all free to go unless you want to stay after class."

Bella smild at him and pac back her notebooks and physics books. And walke up to Athos * Ehhh I was thinking you maybe have time for doing some traning hit me if you have the time to do it. And it is okay if you don't have time for me. I can understand if you still need to learn Murry a thing or tow about the school and how things work around here. After all a really inpoering day for me is cumming up soon. Not that I am a big Diva about it but my dad is cumming so I am a littel nervers about it* She smild st him gently and take a look at Blake agin

"Sure thing. I can give you more training no problem, got plenty of time now. Or if you'd prefer you can always ask Blake, he'd probably make for a good sparring partner. He can beat anyone but his sister in a physical fight and it's not just because of his size. One of us can train you, the other can show Murry around and finish up his tour and showing him the ropes around here." Actually it might be good for her to have a variety of sparring partners, something different to train against so she couldn't end up predicting all of his moves.

Well sure I like to get some traning by him. After all it is you Murry will work most together whit the most time. And I think it would be nice to fill another sice of person that can help me if I ran into another type of mafia boss. * She smild at him and look over his shoulder and see Blake begin to pack his thing back and it could be cool traning whit a nother military man.

Blake smiled, walking over and extending a hand to her. The black dragon was an impressive sight to see up close, towering at a full standing height of about twelve feet and pretty much all muscle. "Good to meet you Bella. So you're looking for all kinds of training, I hear and I've seen, to protect you from various sorts of people. Well Athos is a great teacher but he often has trouble to be honest. He's had training in the past that leads him to be able to kill instead of spar or injure. Me, I've had both kinds of training. Part of certain military groups, they want a big guy like me to capture certain people and keep them alive but in pain so they talk. I'll try not to go that far in practice though. Come on, let's head on down to the gym and see what you've got."

Well I hope you don't have to much dreams of what I can do. I don't have that much training whit Athos. So you can almost get me down whit only one blow.* She smiled at him and walk whit him down to the gym. *Let's just hope I can do it whit out my gym cloth on.* She smiled at him He look like a strong person. He could perfectly make her more stronger against much more stronger persons,

"Don't worry, I'll cover that in the first lesson we have. And I can give you a lot of lessons, especially on dealing with bigger guys like me. Not saying you'll be able to beat me, but someone like me might be possible." Considering he was probably about three times Murry's strength at least, she should be thankful he wasn't the one with a pan hitting her in the head. "We'll start with ways to reduce impact from an opponent's blows and then I'll give you training in something Athos couldn't show you, dealing with an opponent that has other ways of attacking." Like a long, thick, flexible tail. And he'd be using it both to attack her, and sometimes if necessary to catch her from falling.

Bella smiled at him to when they walk down into the gym. * Well that sounds good to me I really want to kick down some big guy. I know that Don Millow is probably out of the game but I know that a lot of others Mafia bosses on the since of you and maybe bigger. than you* She smiled and take of her sneakers as she go into to the gym. She did not want to kick him hard whit her shoes

Blake had to laugh a little at that. "Hehe, well I find that a little hard to believe. I mean, really, I'm probably the tallest person around. Only one other dragon's ever been known to be taller than me far as I know, and he's maybe five centimeters taller at most. I stand about three point six and a half meters, hard to find anyone built like me. Still, we'll see what we can do here."

The black dragon smiled, looking around the gym and finding a nice padded area for them to practice. "You didn't have to take those off by the way. I've been kicked with steel toe boots, army boots, hit with baseball bats, just about anything that can be used to club someone's been broken on me. Not that I don't feel it but it's not like you'd be breaking bone or anything. Now let's start with reducing impact like I said. If someone hits you in the side of the head the last thing you want to do is get knocked out. You want to cut down the impact any way you can, and if they're already hitting you, can't exactly block it. So, you want to move with the hit, let it lead you, push you. Might not help a lot but every little bit counts. Same goes if you get hit in the stomach. Doesn't seem right but you've got two choices. Tighten all the muscles there to try and resist the blow or let them double you over."

* Well I don't really have a Idea to how I am going to push the hit away from me. I would say that I could try to push his arm away whit my paws. Or ells kick him in the balls if I can try to get to it. That is just what I think might work out for me but you might give me a better way to defend my self. But that is maybe not a good if it is a girl because they don't have balls to kick.* She smiled at him blushing a little bit for him. Well it was truth that she hat seen person that was much more bigger than him

"How about a demonstration? I'll push your shoulder, you stand there and try to resist it. Then I'll try again, and that time you'll shrug your shoulder back with the push. If you're going to be moved by an opponent, move the way You want to move not the way They want to move you." Blake gave the demonstration, trying not to knock her over yet. It wasn't going to be good for her confidence if she fell over when they were just starting. "Next will be something more practical for you, something you'll want to use."

Bella look at him * okay that did not sound that hard to do right now.* She look at him and she fill his big paw gently push her shoulder. She put down her paws on the ground so she hat something to phus so she would not get pushed back. The first one went really good now the second one she was a little more easy. She just have to pull her shoulder back on the right time. She look at him and could see his paw getting closer and closer and a few centimeters before hitting her shoulder she pull it back. * Did I do it the right way Mr. Blake?* She asked and look into his eyes. She did not know what was going on she was like a little kitty in front of the big guy so she really wanted to show him respect

"Better, much better. Heh, don't have to call me mister or anything, heck can call me anything you want really. Any cute girl can, even insults if you really want. Doesn't bother me. So, let's move on to something a little more practical for you. This part you're going to find a weak point in your target. In this case I'll be pretending to have a weak point. And I want you to attack it. If it looks like a weak spot, try to get a shot in. And try to stay on any side you see as weak. We're just starting this, so you can hit me any way you want, I won't block, and I won't be trying to fake you out. See, even if there's someone twice your size you can pick them apart and make them fall. Let's say I have a bad knee, you want to hit that knee, hard, and from all angles until it gives out and I'll be on the ground in pain. Get the idea? Alright, let's begin."

The dragon took up a brawling stance, making it look like he was a boxer or something like a street thug. This time he made his weakness an arm, holding it closer to his body and at a different angle from the other one. She should be able to spot that kind of behavior easily, now how would she take advantage?

Bella smild at him and love that she could call him anythin she might wanted to call him. She take a few steps back and toke a good look at his arms. She could see that one of his arms was more closer to his body than the other one. She starts to think how could she hit his arm on the right spot. She looked at him and maybe waited a littel bit too much. She close her eyes and when she open them agin she swing her leg up at the side of the arm. She also make sure that she hold her chest back so if he would try to hit her she could pull it back. She give his arms some more kickes and hope he did not fill any pain.

Blake smiled, taking each kick. She was good, and they did sting a little, but not enough that he'd really worry about it. "Very good. And when an enemy has an injured arm up against their body like this it's got nowhere to go. Can't move it out of the way so in a few good hits if it were really injured I'd probably be backing off or too hurt to think straight. Good, now let's try another. This time I'm going to take a few little swings at you and move around a little more, gotta keep making it harder so you can keep improving." This time he got into a more martial stance, one side of his body aimed toward her and the other held away. He was stepping around quickly, the back paw moving quicker like he didn't want it to have any weight on it. With the hand closer to her he was making little practice swipes, shouldn't be hard for her to duck under one, get beside him or behind him, and hit the weak spot. At least hopefully not too hard.
