Ryu lined himself his lead foot was pointing forward towards the bag it was a few inches to the side of it his left foot was at ninety degrees pointing out parallel to the bag. Ryu eyed the bag up it was a small thing as the name implied tear-drop shaped, after a quite bash of his gloves together Ryu had gained his composer and was ready to hit the bag. He dropped his right shoulder and the launched it almost vertically up with deadly accurately it collided with the bag after it was extended about ten inches but when Ryu was done punching throw it his arm was extended by about eleven inches. His left arm had be moved to guard against any incoming shoots that could be thrown he quickly retracted his arm back to the normal position and took two steps to the left dragging his rear foot after them he the fired off a few more upper cuts in a similar manner moving each time until he was stopped my Ben [blue]“Right that was grate now we are going to move on to something else its called crunch and punch its more physically demanding so I'm looking for it to test your abilities both mentally and physically”[/blue] they both moved away from the bag into the centre of the room

[blue]“right this is called crunch and punch the striker that's you, starts by lying in a pre-crunch position, with the standing pad-holder that’s me treading lightly on your toes. After a predetermined number of abs crunches, you leap to your feet and throws a rapid burst of punches. We are going to start with ten crunches and ten punches for three sets. The punches will be the uppercut just like we have practised okay”[/blue]

Ryu got down on to the cold mat and Ben stood on his feet. Ryu started to preform the crunches with his arms in front of him looking at the roof of the gym he curled his shoulders towards his pelvis. With in a matter of moments Ryu had done the ten crunches and jumped to his feet making sure to have his feet in the correct position then he dropped his shoulder and launched his hand in to the outstretched pad the vertical motion had enough force to move Ben hand up at least two inches. Ryu quickly retracted his hand back to it defensive position and then fired other another punch much in the same manor that he had done a few moments before. This time around Ben's hand didn't move as much as he must have been more prepared for the blow. Ryu continued up to ten punches with Ben calling the number out each time. In the end Ryu did three sets back to back before Ben stopped him [blue]“you in quite good shape aren’t you”[/blue] as he looked at Ryu would didn't even seem tried in the slightest due to his life of training.

[blue]“That was great Ryu now just nine more”[/blue] Again Ryu threw four more punches. [blue]“fantastic Ryu the only advice I would give you is to use your hip more, now I think you should throw the punch and then more to see how that goes”[/blue]. Ryu again threw the punch twisting his hip, shoulder and arm after it had fully extended Ryu pulled it back and moved his lead leg left then dragged his right leg. As soon as his right foot stopped another left punch was fired of,, ripping through the air as the fist rotated as it stopped it was pulled back quickly to protect Ryu's body the elbow tucked in the fist covering the face and guarding the chin for a blow to the chin could end a fight. Ryu threw of another three punches.

[blue]“Fantastic Ryu the punches were perfect you have great form, now lets try some punches on the bag if all goes well we can move on to the next technique I think we can try a elbow but back to the task at hand five punches on this bag at full power”[/blue] Ryu moved over to the boxing bag it was a fairly large bag coloured a bright green and orange around the top it had a picture of a body drawn on it although it looked like the work of a child. Ryu postured up and throw his first punch, twisting his hips and shoulders as well as his arm adding more power to the punch, their was a large noise as the punch connected and the bag swayed backwards and then forwards towards Ryu but he had already pulled his arm back and move to the right, the balls of his feet firm on the cold mat. The bag moved back and was struck again the punch hit the bag firmly at chin hight sending it swinging again. This time Ryu moved to the left twisting his hips striking with deadly accuracy this punch was move powerful than the others Ryu could tell the sound was louder the bag moved further back.

[blue]“I’m quite surprised Ryu that one had a lot of power behind it for the last two punches I will hold the bag so you can hit it better”[/blue] Ben moved behind the bag pressing his shoulder to it and placing his hands on it. Ryu threw another of the punches his left hand ripped though the air in a fraction of a second it hit the bag hard, moving Ben back a step or two. Sweat was now dripping from Ryu's head but he pressed on this would be the final punch. With his guard still up protecting himself Ryu pulled his left hip back slightly and then he exploded, his left hip then whipped forward his shoulder rotated throwing his arm at the bag his arm twisted mid-extension adding yet more force. The bag moved almost knocking him off his feet from the combination of perfect technique, speed and his muscular power. [blue]“Woah, that's quite the punch you have their Ryu great technique and a good amount of power”[/blue]

the gym
Ryu stood in the middle of the gym, wrapping the black hand wrap around his left hand as he looked across the gym, scanning to see the skill level of the other people in the gym. The gym was a small room thirty-six foot long by about twenty foot. In the left hand corner of the room was a speed bag next to it on the shorter wall was a double ended ball and next to that in the top right corner was a light thai boxing bag, down the side of the far wall three boxing bags. The right side didn't have any equipment but was full of gloves and pads on the floor with the wall covered in mirrors. Down the wall where the entrances was three more muay thai bags. The floor was covered in a thick mat so that their would be less injury if falling.

The training
A guy came over wearing a pair of black and white muay thai shorts and black twelve ounce muay thai gloves. He was roughly the same size as Ryu maybe a inch or two smaller. He swept his short black hair and the sweat of his face with one of his gloves [blue]“hey new guy right, I'm Ben. So have you done any muay thai before ?”[/blue] Ryu looked at the man for a moment before replying [red]“No this is my first time, I'm Ryu by the way”[/red]. Ben looked Ryu up and down [blue]“I see you have all the right gear to start I'm liking your shorts by the way, I was think of buying them a bit back. So Ryu I can teach you the basics if you want ?”. [/blue]

Ben positioned himself directly text to Ryu [blue]“now copy me put you left foot out in front of your self in line with your shoulder”[/blue]. Ryu copied placing his left foot out in front twisting his boy so that he was at a angle. [blue]“now place your back foot at a ninety degree angle and come up on the ball of your foot”[/blue] Again Ryu copied Ben's instructions placing his foot on the cold hard mat and coming up on the ball of his foot, in this position Ryu felt strong like he could do a lot of damage to somebody. [blue]“now you need to stand straight and lower your chin to the same hight as your shoulders and at the same time raise your arms and shoulders so that you can guard yourself”[/blue]. Ryu did as he was told standing straight, then he tucked his chin in close and raised his arms and shoulders so that he could protect himself.
