After that last little party, and now with Sharon’s dojo up and ready, I guess it’s time to troll for trainees. I’m looking for anyone interested in learning any level self-defense, but especially those of you with zero experience.

And if you just need to work out some frustration without breaking your hands, I can work with that too.

Walk-ins welcome. I’ll be in rooms 17 and 19 every morning and evening. Stop by, check it out and we’ll see what we can do.

( action | open through apr/may - please date your top level! )

These next two months are all about hand-to-hand, finding balance and feeling comfortable in your body. Faith’s existing trainees are tasked with regular tai chi routines along with very simplistic self-defense. How to break holds, how to apply non-lethal hits-- anything that focuses on breaking away and then getting out of an ugly situation.

Workouts and training, though simple, are not always a cakewalk. In order to build muscle memory, it’s repetitive-- but after a tough session, people can still feel raw and exposed. Faith is kind to her students, but not easy. If she’s felt her companion was not giving the effort they should, she’ll call them out. If she feels there’s something mental that needs to be addressed, she’ll call them out.

If they need to grab a coffee to bounce back, that's great too.

All in all, after a few sessions, Faith's trainee may begin to see that this is not all about physical fitness, but about learning to survive this hell in general.

I'm not exactly a trainee. I know martial arts from several different dimensions and I've been boxing all my life, but I do have a question:

I was gravely injured after Wonderland sent me home and I would like to go over the basics as part of healing and rehabilitation. I wouldn't want to get soft while I'm recovering. Would this be a problem at all?

Anyone I see should leave me feeling better than when they walk in.
That said, I'm not a registered trainer back home or anything -- if that's what you're looking for, maybe hit up Simon at the fitness center. I mean, I've been doing my homework for awhile here in Wonderland, but still. I'd feel better looping in a doctor to make sure I don't hurt you worse. Would that work for you?

That works for me. If a friend can swing it I may actually be healed with magic, but I would still love to attend. It's important to keep one's mind occupied and this should be an excellent way to do it.

Hey, good luck with the magic either way. You wanna let me know what exactly you're dealing with, I can do some research and see what I can dig up. But feel free to stop on by whenever.
