Walter stepped into the back room of Gold's Gym, he flicked the lights on and started laying out the training pad's near the heavy bag. He had called Faye before heading over for their first day of training. She wanted to learn self defense from him and he was going to give her the training to keep anything like that from happening again. He removed his button up top and slid into his sleeveless black Gi top, he tied his black belt and kneeled saying his creedo's in his mind.
Kav stood up and began by stretching then working on his forms. It felt good each movement free flowing into another. Next he began working on the heavy bag, each strike causing the support beam to shudder violently, and each kick threatened to rip the bag off the chains. After his legs and knuckles were dead he grabbed the jump rope and started his real work out while he waited.

Faye was glad Jack was out at work, he had been slightly worried about the amount of time she was spending with Walter, and she couldnt blame him, she adored Walter, had swooped in and saved the day. Yet she felt safe with him, secure and herself, and she hadnt had to get to know him first, it was a straight away thing.
Swallowing she slipped into her car and headed in the direction of the gym, glad that Walter had given her directions. Pulling her car to a stop she looked up at the building and with a small smile slipped herself out of her shirt, leaving her in a sports bra and shorts. She always prefered working out in as little as possible, it made her feel free.
She quickly stepped inside, her gaze watching him as he moved freely, he looked every bit the professional that she had come to expect from him. "Hey"She called stepped further into the room.

Walter looked up from his lowered push up position, his Gi was barely touching the floor and he came up doing two claps before landing again on his fingertips. "Glad you found it. Start stretching out, get your muscles loose. You need them really loose." He said doing it again, "We are going to work on the basics." He said breathing each time he went down then exhaling the sentence. After several more reps of the push ups he rolled onto this back and started flutter kicks.

Faye smiled nodding her head "Yea you give good directions"She stated as she did as she was instructed, stretching out her body, starting down at her toes and slowly working up, she had always been taught to breath and relax, to feel your body loosening while you did. She finally finished, stretching backwards and then sideways before she looked over at him.
"Ok then, now what"She questioned, pushing herself up on her toes.

"First things first, we are going to teach you about stability of your base." He rolled to his feet and faced his feet in an awkward looking L shape. He was facing her, his right foot forwards pointed at her, his left foot away pointed towards the wall, his arms were up almost in a boxer's stance, slighly closed and tucked close to his body.
"Try to push me backwards," He said sternly looking through the slight hole between his arms at her.

Faye raised a brow, looking down at his stance, her eyes taking in the slightest movment, at his comment she stepped forward, doing as he instructed, she wasnt expceting anything to happen, and didnt find herself surprised when nothing did happen.

Kav smiled. "Now try to mirror the way I'm standing. All your power will come from this stance and the way your hips move when you attack or block." He said spining his hip forward and extending his arm slowly in tandem as if he was punching. "Now hit the stance and I'll critique." He smiled and stepped back with his arms crossed.

Faye nodded her head, allowing her body to relax she shifted into the stance, mirroring his postion. She had to attempit it a couple of times before she finally got it down the way she had. She rolled her shoulders, she had to admit she did feel pretty good, she, twisted her hips back, following through with her arm, doing it a couple of more times to get the feel for it.

"Good good. Now that you have your stance I'm going to test it." He walked up and pushed on her shoulder, he was pleased to see that she didn't move. "Very good. Now when you extend your hand leave it there. Carefully he watched her movements and adjusted her hand into a correct fist and set it in perfect line. "These two knuckles are what hits your target," He pointed at the two middle knuckles, "It is a strait line up your arm, allowing for the most force in a little area. It keeps your wrists from breaking when you impact." He said and pressed his hand against her fist. "You can feel the resistance up to your shoulder. That is the correct way to punch."

Faye nodded her head as she looked at him, gaze locked on what he was showing her, feeling everything he was telling her to feel, she corrected where he told her to. Once she had something set in her mind she was damn well gonna do the best she could. She wasnt gonan be the scared little girl who got beat on by her boyfriend, nor the scared little girl Nate had made her once more. No she was going to do everything she needed to, she was gonna come out on top.
"Ok"SHe commented, pulling her arm back once more and following through.

He was amazed at how fast she was learning. Each small critique he made she adapted to and perfected for herself so as she became more confident in using that jab she began to put more and more power into each strike eventually Walter stepped back. "Now that you have that strike down we are going to do a reverse punch, this is the same idea as your jab there but with more power because you will have more torque involved in your hips." Walter stepped back into the right foot forward stance again and pivoted his left foot extending his arm at the same time showing her the premice behind it. "These basics are where ninty nine percent of fights are won from. Every part of a fight comes from how well your hips move in tandem with the rest of your body. Now go slow with this work on form first speed will come later." He smiled and stepped back to watch Faye with crossed arms. He was going to push her limits both mentally and physically, a voice from his past crept into his mind, "It's better to cry in the dojo then die in the street." Silently he laughed.

Faye heaved in a breath, gaze focused as she watched him move, she followed his movements, shifting the way he did, copying his movments, she had to admit that she felt a hell of a lot better then she did when she first walked through the door. She supposed it was because she was finally putting that scared little girl behind her.
With a couple of more corrections she went at it again, following through the way he had showed her, letting out breaths as she did so.

"Good job with the breathing, are you sure you havn't done this before?" he questioned feeling slightly stupid for not remembering the most important lesson of fighting, control your breathing to maximize power, focus hits, minimize injury, and keep from getting winded. He chuckled and watched her form each movement was smooth and flawless he had to rethink what style he would teach her. "You are way too good at this."

Faye raised a brow shaking her head and smileing at the compliment. "Yoga"She stated, "We were always taught the importance of breathing" She stated looking over at him, at his questioned of if she had done this before she shook her head, the compliment made her feel good, glad that she was doing something good.
"Nope, nothing like this" She stated with a shake of her head.

"Well you could have fooled me." He laughed and had her stop. "Okay now switch stances opposite of how you are now." He showed her his right foot forward stance and then switched it by stepping forward; squaring his feet, and closing his arms to cover his face and upper torso his knuckles planted firmly against his forehead and bicep against tricep then stepping back with his right foot now mirror opposite of how he had just been.

Faye heaved in a breath as she shifted her postion, once again having to actually shit a couple of times before she managed to get it the way he had. If Faye was anything she was a perfectionist and didnt rest untill she got everything perfect.
Her brother hated that side of her, because of the amount of times she would start something over just to get it just right. "Ok now what"She questioned looking over at him.

What we just covered but opposite. Your left hand will be your jab and your right will be your reverse." he said smiling moving to stand next to her in the same stance, "Remember once you pull your hand back bring it up to cover your self. Don't leave it out or let it drop cause it will do you no good out there." He laughed remembering how many times he got knocked on his butt in training. "I will lead and you do it with me, we are going for technique so pick a spot on the wall and each time you strike make sure your hand is on that spot. Reverse." he said and pivoted his right foot in conjunction with his waist, his body twisted forward and he extended his arm all in one fluid motion.

Faye took in a breath and as she followed his movments let it out, she continued copeing in, breathing in and then out. "Where were you a couple of years back"she questioned with a soft laugh, but she didnt divert from her movements or turn her gaze onto him, she was to focused on her own movements, feeling the way her body moved and felt.

"Depends on the month." He said in a half joke as he stepped backwards to stretch out his side, he was still healing from the last mission and a turn up rib was not agreeing with his movements. "Guatamala I think." He smiled and began doing a few more punches. "When you strike I want you to say Kyah! Push with your diaphragm to let your air out imagine you are punching through your target to maximize your power." He showed her by walking up to the heavy bag and quickly unchambering his fist with a loud "Hiduke!" The bag came loose from it's chain and bounced against the brick wall before it settled on the ground. "Craaaaaaap." he groaned.

Faye raised a brow, she really hoped he was not expecting her to do that, because she really didnt think, with her little frame she would have it in her. Swallowing she shook her head "Yea right then"She chuckled and was more did as she was told. Swining her punches through as she did as she was asked.
This time she actually felt the power behind her punches, it felt exlierating, she felt full and alive.
