[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Now it’s time to use the technique I’m going to talk you thought the steps so that, you can get it perfect. The whole technique depends upon you shifting all of your weight on to your right foot as you take a step forward without this you won’t have any power. You feet hips and shoulders should all move together in a coordinated way so that you get the most power you can from the technique. You want to throw the tip of the elbow at the jaw or temple to really cause some damage, so let’s give it ago.”[/blue] After having taken the information on board, I move the right side of my forward shifting all of my weight on to it. As my foot touches the ground my hip, shoulder and elbow are just coming to the end of their movement. Striking what would have been the jaw with my elbows tip. [blue]“Great work there Ryu it looked flawless are you positive you’re new to this”[/blue] [blue]“To defend against this deadly technique you must use the left arm to wipe the oncoming elbow attack other than this they is no defense other than get out of the way due to the force of the attack using your arms, as a shield isn’t a good idea. For the counter attack, you will need to throw your shin or knee to the right rib of the opponent. The reason for this is that it will again keep the opponent out of the striking range but this must be done quickly”[/blue] [blue]“I think it would be a good idea to teach you how to box as well Ryu, as they is going to be times when it is easier to use your hands as oppose to your elbows, knees and feet also boxing will give you a in site into the discipline. So that if you ever fight a boxer you will have a better under standing of how to counter and what he is doing. As you have seen not all of the bags in the gym are purely for Muay Thai. Bags like the speed ball and double ended can be used for a number of contact sports.”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“so first you want to learn the stances for boxing as with out a good base you technique will be poor and your moves wont hurt. The boxing stance isn't a million miles away from you Muay Thai stance in fact they are almost the same. As with Muay Thai you want your feet at shoulder-width apart, you want your lead foot infront of your rear one. And make sure you are up on the balls of your feet. You back again needs to be straight with a small bend in your knees so that you are well balanced. Your arms want to be in the same position as your Muay Thai stance. So as you can see they is only miner differences."[/blue] Ryu placed his lead foot on the mat, pointing forward his rear foot was pointed out to the side. He was raised on his back foot, he pulled his gloves up to his face to guard his chin which was tucked in at shoulder level. His eyes where locked on to the opponents upper abdominal hight. His elbows wear in tight to guard his ribs from any attack that was to come. He made a few light taps against his cheekbone before Ben started to talk [blue]“that looks pretty good Ryu, nice form”[/blue] [blue]“unlike Muay Thai, Boxing has more than one stance it has two this one is named semi-crouch. If your wanting to use this style of stance you want to lean forward rather than maintaining your regular upright position. Your going to want your feet a bit closer together but other than that pretty much the same. You need to stay relaxed as with all martial arts, because if your not you wont be able to strike or dodge at your best. Okay then lets see you have a go at it”[/blue] Ryu positioned his feet closer than normal with his lead foot facing forward. His rear foot was placed on the mat his heel raised with his toes pointing outward at a ninety degree angle. His chin was at shoulder level and tucked in to avoid it being hit. his hands were up to protect his face one on ever side of his jaw. He lent forward with his body.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] The reason for this stance is to increase your punching range later when we use some punches in this stance you will notice the difference that it gives you. The only thing to bear in mind for you is when you have a boxing match that they can’t kick, knee or anything else other than punch. So you chin is going to be the main target it was time for the gym to close a the men that had been training gathered they stuff to leave, some had showers others just left. Ryu when to go into the changing room but was stopped by Ben. [blue]“where do you think your going Ryu, I own the club so your going to stay and now that everybody else has left your going to do a bit of training with that sword of yours. Yes I have seen it before you ask and I'm pretty confident you don't know how to just it. So get it out and start training. ”[/blue] Ryu was quite surprised that Ben owned the club but even more so that he knew he couldn't use his sword properly. Ryu walked into the changing room and took of his gloves and hand wraps, then he picked up his katana and walked out Ryu drew his katana it was a beautiful weapon, the scabbard was jet black even the tip the only part that wasn't completely black was the gold painting of a dragon that ran across the scabbard . The scabbard cord was the same blood red and tied in the standard way. The handle was black with gold highlights it was covered in a blood red braid underneath the braid was a gold dragon ornament. The sleeve was jet black with a delicate ornate patten which was enhanced with gold colouring . The guard depreciated a dragon in the clouds on one half was its body and on the other was its tail all of this was high lighted with a gold dry brush effect. The pommel of the sword had the dragons head on which was highlighted in a similar manor to that of the rest of the guard. The ferrule was a gold colour and a bout a inch long. When he pulled the blade out you could see that it wasn't normal it was covered in a wire which would be undoubtedly very sharp.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“Try putting some chakra into the blade it will make it easier to use”[/blue] ironically Ryu had never tried to do this and as a result when ever he touched used the blade he would injure himself with it. Ryu channelled a small amount of chakra into the blade and then grasped the razor shape wire. To his astonishment he wasn't cut it seemed that ninja techniques weren't so bad at all. Ryu made a few slashes at the air with the blade and didn't cut himself once. [blue]“Don't tell me you had never tried to do that Ryu ?”[/blue] [blue]“Right then now that you can use your sword how about you learn the stances for it these stances are for a style named Gyakusatsu. But you won't be using your katana just yet instead you will be using a bokken so that you don't injure me or yourself to much. Now a bokken is a wooden sword now this type of weapon is made of a porous, loose-grained wood. So don't do thinking your going to cause any damage because the sword will just snap”[/blue] Explained Ben [blue]“now this is one of the six basic stances of Gyakusatsu, this one is used because of its great balance between offence and defence. You want to your sword at your midsection in a forty-five degree angle upwards with your dominate hand held at the weapons apex. As for your feet you should have your dominant leg first. Now you give it a go”[/blue] Ryu picked up the bokken from the floor and positioned himself his lead foot was slightly in front of his rear and they were shoulder length apart. He raised the wooden weapon to his midsection and pointed the tip of the blade out at a forty-five degree. He was relaxed enough to be able to attack or defend if need be. [blue]“now this stance is different from the first one you learned it is the second from the six Gyakusatsu, and the most defensive. This style offers the highest rate of defence, deflecting and creating striking opportunities. This time rather then have the blade pointing at a forty-five degree angle your going to point it at the opponent's lower body, typically around the knee or thigh area. Again you want your feet in the same position with your lead foot in front of your rear one”[/blue]

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] Ryu positioned his feet so that his left foot was facing forward and his right one was behind it. He took a firm grasp of the bokken and raised it to his midsection his left hand was in front of his right on the weapon. He aimed the tip of the blade down to the opponent's knee high. And stopped moving as Ben walked around him checking his stance [blue]“Great form Ryu your technique looks good your arms are in the right place so are your feet and the tip of the sword is at just the right high do you feel that you could defend from this position”[/blue] [blue]“Now that you have learned how to defended, you will need to know how to attack. This is the third of the six stances that you are going to learn. You want to get in to a double axe-handle position. With your dominate hand near the bokken's apex, so right hand first and then your left one. This stance is used to optimize the user's initial strength and bodyweight for heavier sword strokes and counters. Your going to want to have your right foot first Now you have a go at it”[/blue] Ryu adjusted his feet placing his right foot forward on to the firm mat, he then dragged his left on so that they approximately shoulder length apart. His foot was firmly planted on the padded floor. His training had been hard so he was starting to get tried but he choice to not give up, to not be a quitter no matter ho much he wanted to give up. He took a firm grip of the soft porous bokken his right hand above his left. He raised the weapon to his midsection and then up over his head ready to deliver a powerful blow at any time. His scenes where heighten to a abnormal level ready to obliterate any enemy that would come at him.

[atrb=style,background-color: #2c2c2c; width: 308px;] [blue]“That’s looking good Ryu I can see you have that fire, the drive to go on with out quitting I am going to mould you into a fighting machine that kills anything in its path. With this form and speed of learning your going to master all of the martial arts in no time at all. I am proud to say that your my student”[/blue] Ben walked around Ryu checking his form using his stick to push in any part that was out of place [blue]“Now for the surprise stance this one is the fourth of the six stances, this is the most deceptive of the stances and can be used best for surprising your target. Now to tell you how to do this stance, first off you will need dominate foot behind, your other foot like in Muay Thai. You should have your hands with the domain hand at the hilt. Bring the bokken down to your waist and point it to wards the rear of the body. You do that in order to hide the full length of the blade and only show the pommel to the opponent.”[/blue] Ben used his wooden beam to show Ryu what he was talking about and it did make it harder for the target to see the weapon. Ryu placed his his dominate foot behind his other foot with a distance of about shoulder length between them. he firmly grasped the bokken with is dominate hand at the hilt. He raised the blade to his waist and aimed it away from where the target would be pointing away towards the rear of his body. This would hide the majority of the blade from the opponent making it hard for them to see any part other than the pommel. [blue]“looks great Ryu very good technique from this angle its hard to see the weapon which is a good sign. Your feet are in the correct position now just try moving about you do it the same as you would in Muay Thai.”[/blue] Ryu decided to move to the left first, so moved his left foot and then dragged his right making sure to keep the weapon hidden. He then moved right by stepping with his domain foot and sliding his left foot across the floor. H e repeated this a few times in a similar manor to get a feel for the move.

Ryu walked over to were he had placed the blade and picked it up by its scabbard. The weapon looked beautiful as ever with the jet black scabbard contrasting the blood red bindings perfectly . Ryu drew the blade from its scabbard, the wire up wrapped. Ryu had to chanel his chakra into the blade. Then Ryu began to form his stance it was harder with the real sword as he had to position himself and keep the chakra in the blade. He shifted his right foot so that it would act as his rear, leaving his front foot to be his lead he drew the sword up to his waist and aimed it back as instructed so that hardly any of the blade could be seen.
