So I realize we've got a lot of metahuman training that goes on around here, but I was thinking of putting together some non-metahuman training sessions for folks that don't have powers if anyone is interested. I've got advanced combat training under my belt, but I'd like to learn other things and I bet if we worked together we'd be able to get that accomplished.

So I'm pretty sure we can do this at Logan's gym. He's been pretty open about that sort of thing. My only concern with doing non-metahuman training is to minimize the chance of injuries. I think we can learn a lot from each other, and maybe we can do mixed training once we're stronger in order for everyone to get better and learn as a team?

Plus, it'll be good to work off this bloated post-food coma that I'm still in.

	I could be convinced. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What would I need to do to convince you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Honestly, the chance to throw a punch at a moving target is usually enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pattyspivot 2017-11-27 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	Well that's a surprisingly very simple and straight forward request. I'm pretty sure we can arrange something to satisfy that need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean, it helps if they hit back. Ups the challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I know some of the training that's already on the gym schedule is open to base humans but I'm not sure they all specifically take them into account. The archery definitely would since Hawkeye is a base human and I'm trying to with my self defense but sessions that are only for people without powers would be a good idea. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pattyspivot 2017-11-25 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	Oh thank you so much! I wasn't sure there was a schedule out there. You're Logan's daughter, right, and you help run the gym? Do you think we could get together to talk about scheduling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're not always very organised here but I'm usually around for a while during the day. I'm Laura. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pattyspivot 2017-11-27 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, is it one of those situations where it's made up as it goes along? Because I can definitely go with the flow if that's the case. I don't want to ruffle any feathers if there's a method to everything already. Nice to meet you, Laura. I'm Patty. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I teach a class for people without powers to learn to fight against those with powers. It's been a specialty of mine for a while, since I've had to fight magical folk as a plain old soldier at home. There are lots of other classes open to folks without powers as well, all different fighting styles. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pattyspivot 2017-11-25 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	That would be super useful! I'm not trying to cause a divide between the people with powers, and the people without. I mean, I want us all to be able to work and live together. But I like the idea of being able to contribute to defense if we all find ourselves in a bad situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, I don't think offering a new class would cause a divide. There's room for everyone to teach their specialty, and even if someone else taught the same thing that you want to teach, they're not teaching it the way you would teach it. I know there are still open slots at the gym, and available rooms even when other classes are going on.

And I've forgotten to introduce myself. I'm Mal Oretsev.

	Hi Mal! I'm Patty Spivot. You make a lot of good points. I think that since you've been doing this for a while that maybe you want to be in charge of it? I don't want to step on toes if there is something organized already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2017-11-27 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	I really don't feel any need to be in charge of it. I'm sorry if I've given you the impression that I wanted to take over your project. But if you need help, I'd be happy to help you. It's good to meet you, Patty. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Kick ass idea! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks, Cisco! I want to feel useful, you know? And I mean being a detective is great, but I want to contribute to our Displaced community. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goodlikesunkist 2017-11-25 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	That makes sense. Good luck with it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pattyspivot 2017-11-27 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	You should train with us! I mean, I know you're a metahuman but like you could help us. Or are you training with Wolverine? Because that would be so freaking cool! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goodlikesunkist 2017-11-27 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	I could stop by sometime! Maybe I can be the meta punching bag sometimes. That would be an amazing but I'm pretty sure both wolverines could stomp my face. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Isn't there a gym where one may simply stay fit? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pattyspivot 2017-11-25 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah there is! But learning self-defense is a great way to stay fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brother_mine 2017-11-25 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yes. I can see myself now, roundhouse kicking a meta-human in the face and breaking every bone in my foot. What chance does a human like myself have against those with phenomenal strength and ability, trained or not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2017-11-25 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	There will always be someone more powerful than you in some way, whether or not they have special abilities. You can, nevertheless, learn how to fight against them when necessary - if not always to win, then just to survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brother_mine 2017-11-25 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	I think I shall leave that to the professionals, such as yourself. Unless you know a way to endow special powers and abilities to others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2017-11-26 01:47 am UTC (link)
	I don't. I don't believe it's necessary, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've read what some of these meta-humans are capable of. You must forgive me if I have my doubts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2017-11-27 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	I certainly wouldn't hold that against you. I've seen what many of them are capable of, myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then, pray tell, what makes you so confident? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2017-11-27 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Lots of practice, and a little bit of ego. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brother_mine 2017-11-27 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	Is that what you did in your home-world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2017-11-27 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. I have no magic or superpowers myself, but have survived as a soldier in a world where I needed to fight against powerful magical folk. It's what I've trained for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	brother_mine 2017-11-27 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	I imagine with equally powerful weapons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. I will try to attend, one evening. As an observer. I really am not the athletic type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh I think we could use all the help! I'm really happy that so many people are interested in this. I've never been the girl to sit on the sidelines and wait to be protected, you know? I mean, I think you know considering you have combat experience. I'm Patty, by the way. Nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agentscarter 2017-11-28 12:46 am UTC (link)
	Exactly! People need to take steps to protect themselves. There is enough danger here that you can't expect someone else to save you. Hi Patty. I'm Sharon, it's nice to meet you. I've worked in government intelligence so I can do a range of self-defense and offensive teaching. What are you thinking as far as classes? (Reply to this) (Parent)
