Hello and welcome to this martial arts club lesson, hosted by your friendly neighborhood Darren! Are you a melee fighter? Do you want to become one? Whether you are a total beginner or you already know a couple moves, the martial arts club is happy to welcome you for some practice! While it is open 24/7 and anyone can come in at any time without being “officially” part of the club, classes are sometimes hosted by its members for everyone to sample! Here, Darren proposes an introductory course to martial arts through the best learning method: sparring! You will be matched against someone of your level and spar under the supervision of a senpai, who will then correct your moves and advise you on how to improve! If you are feeling up to the task, then come to the martial arts club at the indicated date and time for an unforgettable lesson!
Okay cool Darren, but how does the thread work?
Well first of all, we’ll do one thread per spar. ICly, all the fights will happen at the same time, in the same room (ever seen a judo class? kinda like this, and don't worry, the martial arts clubroom is big). Second of all, I encourage you guys to OOC find a sparring partner before you sign up; someone you have plots with already, or that you wanted to thread with for example. Otherwise, you can always post here as a solo and we’ll try to find you someone.
In practice, you guys will go through two or three rounds of sparring (up to personal preference) before your senpai posts in the thread, interrupting the spar with advice, showing moves, how they could have better reacted to this or that attack, etc. Then you go for some more rounds, rinse and repeat until you feel like its a good point to end it! As those are practice spar, they shouldn’t normally have a winner and a loser: if someone is getting pounded on, their senpai should logically intervene to teach them how to, well, not get pounded on, but if you want to transition this into a proper match, go ahead!
For the pupils (aka the people sparring with each other), we want people from G to E-rank in martial arts, matched with someone roughly equivalent (do keep in mind that strength, durability etc also come into play!). For the senpais, I’m happy to take on a good chunk of those threads, but I’m also looking for more senpais, basically people with martial arts abilities from roughly E to C! Even if your character has never been in the martial arts club before, just assume Darren roped your character in ICly. Don’t hesitate to ask for a preferred senpai either!
Those who have known me a while know I’ve run threads like this before with varying amounts of success, but I think this one should work well. It’s really just a sparring thread with teaching interruptions, really. I won’t be putting up posting timers this time, I feel those are intimidating, just remember that these threads are a lot more fun when they move along swiftly! That being said, I hope you will all enjoy yourselves in the martial arts club!
