The first time I was here, I'd started setting up a small center for self defense training. I stopped by the location a several days ago and somehow it's still there with most of the equipment and the supplies I'd started gathering.

My intention for the center was for those that had no or minimal past training or enhanced abilities. The focus would be on basic self defense or fighting skills plus a few tricks that can help in the field when supplies or cover are limited. This is primarily for those that would like to learn, not for general sparring or working out, but you can still drop by.

There are probably other places like this that have started up since I was last here, but I thought I'd try to get it back going again if there's interest. The plan is to start small, but if there are a handful who may be interested as instructors, let me know. The center is set up in the area of the city usually known as Hell's Kitchen.

	The person who was training me was sent home, so this sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You'd be welcome to set up some time for training, though I am sorry that the person who had been helping you was sent home. There will be mostly one-on-one sessions to start with later some small group sessions depending on interest. The groups would be of similar skill level. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's okay. I think he's probably happier at home. That sounds like exactly what I need. I'll definitely sign up when you're ready to get started. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can understand that. Stop by anytime next week. This week I want to get finished setting things up and meet those interested in helping out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've been trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself here. Teaching self-defense sounds cool, if you'll have me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-08-31 12:31 am UTC (link)
	It took me some time at first to figure that out for myself too. You're former SHIELD, right? Feel free to stop by anytime this week and we can talk about if there are any specific areas of focus or disciplines you have more experience with over others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It feels weird to think of myself as former SHIELD, but yeah, I am. I can stop in anytime, whatever's good for your schedule, to talk about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My experience with SHIELD was more extreme than most, but I know that there were good people there too. Come by anytime tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sounds like a great idea really. Even if there are other places, I don't think they actually cater to novices learning. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-08-31 12:33 am UTC (link)
	That's was I was hoping. With so many types of people and abilities, I know there are usually a lot of sparring clubs and places to let off steam for the experienced but not always for the inexperienced. Plus, we never know what we're going to be thrown into next here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callmemarvel 2020-08-31 12:48 am UTC (link)
	Definitely. For us with powers it’s one thing, but there’s a lot of people here just plucked from a normal life. God knows what this place might toss at us next too. I’m sure people would appreciate a patient teacher too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-08-31 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. Those of us with training or powers have that to fall back on if needed, but others should feel capable of defending themselves to an extent too. I like to think I've developed some patience over the years, before and after any official training I've had. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, supposedly there was a maze last Halloween that sucked everyone in. It's those kinds of situations that people need to have some understanding of defending themselves. Well if you ever need a demonstration assistant, I'm a hardy girl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-09-01 01:43 am UTC (link)
	A maze that trapped people. I'd wager it was more along the trick theme of Halloween than treat. If you're half as hardy as the Carol I knew before, try not to kick my ass too hard in front of the students. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My name's Lara Croft, I'd be interested in being an instructor. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-08-31 12:36 am UTC (link)
	It's good to meet you, Lara. I didn't mention my name above, but I'm Bucky. Do you have time to stop by sometime this week? We can chat about prior experience and if there are any disciplines you may lean towards in style. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kindofcroft 2020-08-31 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Good to meet you, Bucky. Yeah, I have plenty of time. I can stop by tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-08-31 01:25 am UTC (link)
	That sounds great - I'll see you then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kindofcroft 2020-08-31 01:38 am UTC (link)
	See you then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just let me know where you need me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-09-01 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Stop by and help me finish getting the place set up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_onyourleft_ 2020-09-01 04:14 am UTC (link)
	I've got the whole afternoon free. I'll come by soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	starbolted 2020-08-31 11:47 am UTC (link)
	In this I can also help. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-09-01 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Help is welcome. Have you had any experience training others in the past or mostly field work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	starbolted 2020-09-01 07:02 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I have both. My name is Starfire, though you may also call me Kory. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assignment 2020-09-01 12:03 pm UTC (link)
	It's good to meet you, Kory; I'm Bucky. Like I mentioned to some of the others above, please feel free to drop by any time this week. We can talk about any disciplines or specialities you may lean towards in your fighting style, and we can get acquainted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	starbolted 2020-09-01 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	It is good to meet you as well, Bucky. I will. I have many styles that I can remember. Much of it is muscle memory as opposed to active recall. I will fit whatever need you lack. (Reply to this) (Parent)
