renju, tom

Don't wanna get caught with our pants down.
Who: Tom and Renju
What: Combat practice.
Where: Room 22 -C
When: Evening of June 17
Why:Cause Renju doesn't wanna get screwed when the Shadows decide that she can't use her persona.

Tom was waiting in Room 22-C as he had promised. He'd moved all the desks out of the way, A quick mention to Ito's father that he planned on doing some wrestling practice allowed him to borrow a small padded mat. Though he wanted padded weapons, he sadly hadn't had time to get or make them.

Sonozaku had impressed him more and more lately. Not only researching her persona, but wanting to go into Paradise, and now combat training. The girl was turning out to be one of the more impressive members of the investigation team, and he found himself rather pleased that she had asked. He quickly forced the thought from his mind. It didn't mean anything.

For some reason he wondered what would be best way to dress for the occasion, he decided on bare feet, and had hung his jacket, and the holsters for his numerous knives on a nearby window sill, Since the jacket was gone, and the weapons he'd also changed into his simple black t-shirt, and sat waiting.for when the student would arrive.

Renju shifted her feet in response to the nudges and directions. It was a little strange that he wasn't pushing them, but maybe he wanted her to learn how the proper stance felt instead of just shoving her into it?

She thought nothing more of it, and she'd managed to reach a vague approximation of the correct stance by the time he was done. Somehow, though, she didn't associate 'check' with 'push to test balance', and the shove, however quick, caught her off-guard. Her arms windmilled reflexively in an attempt to stay upright, and she had to rock a bit to try and stay steady, but she was still standing at the end of all that. She considered that a favorable sign, but she knew it still wasn't quite right. "I'll practice it more at the dorm."

When Renju flailed, Tom had his hands up, ready to catch her should she fall. But she managed to stay steady. Tom nodded, and took a step back.

"It'll take some getting used to. The second one is horse stance."

He spread his legs out in a way that seemed incredibly far, even squatting, bent at the knees, toes pointed forward.

"This one is harder to do, and to get used to, but it'll keep you upright from several directions."
