[quote=paigesweetheart] Ariella looked at Shane seeing him get into his fighting pose. As she blushed a little not knowing what to do. "Uhhh..." the nervous girl bit her bottom lip, sighing. 'Come on, Ariella! You got this! Show him your fighting stance!' Ariella thought to herself and closed her eyes, opening them quickly and got into her fighting stance. It was a bit weird and not much energy was put into it. It was embarrassing though! Ariella couldn't help but to giggle and quickly got out of the stance. "Agh!! I can't do it..! It looks funny when I do it. I know it does look funny." she said running a hand through her hair, looking at Shane. Hopefully he won't laugh at her! Her stance was pretty funny though.. [/quote] Shane shook his head holding in a laugh before walking over to her. "Alright, here's what you want to do", he gently took her hands and raised them up to her neck level. Guessing she was right handed he took her right hand and moved it closer to her while her left was slightly further out. Once that was done he motioned her to keep her hands where they were and ball them into fists. "Alright now take your dominant foot and place it forward and take your other foot and place it firmly behind you and bend your knees slightly. That way if someone tries to push you the foot behind you can help to keep you up". Shane walked back over to his end of the mat and got into his stance, "Now when you're ready, I want you to inch towards me while still in your stance then swing at me. Don't worry I can take it" he grinned a bit as he waited for Ariella to make her move.
