"Ah, you can hit them with wraps on. I'll use these stinky bastards."
John looked at Macy "you have gear with you right? Let's get this heavybag workout in then we'll focus on some wrestling!"

John motioned the two toward the bags and then began hitting the bags very light to just work on getting loose.

Macy nodded and finished stretching and stood slowly, getting her gloves out of her bag and slipping them on. She walked over to one of the bags and began hitting the bag lightly herself, her punches getting harder each swing. Macy kept her legs in place, moving only her torso. She glanced at Jackson and John every now and then.

Carson landed a quick round house to the middle and came in with a back fist and jumped back, still bouncing around moving to the left and the right jumping in and landing a few punches and kicks before jumping back and bouncing around. His stamina wasn't the best, but he couldn't help but hop up and down. It was a habit he made when learning jeet kune do and never bothered to try to change it.

The chains that hold the bags were crying out at this point. It was resonating throughout the entire gym.

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG

After a good few minutes of warming up John looked over at the other two. "Alright that's good for now. That was fun! It's exciting to have others to train with! Get you a drink of water if you have to. You both did good work staying active. Obviously we all have very different backgrounds." John grabbed a bottle of water and took a drink.

"Alright Jackson, the first thing I see that you can improve is your stance. Yiu don't need to constantly hop up and down, and if you're not planted then you're gonna lose most of your striking power. Instead of hopping, try to dig in with you rear foot and use that to drive energy through your punch.. make any sense? Don't take that the wrong way, we all have areas we can improve in."

"Good torso rotation Macy. I am stoked to have a girl in here with us." John smiled big because he was happy.

Jackson nodded as he started to unwrap his fist wraps and tuck them into his pocket.
"it is pretty cool to have a girl train with me, or really train with someone else at all" he said as he put his hands on his head trying to catch his breath.
He had never had another person being taught with him, as most of the people he learned from never had a dojo or a studio or any were to teach, they just knew the styles and were willing to teach.

She drapped her arm over Jackson's shoulder and grinned at him, "It's always good to have a training partner!" Macy pulled her arm away and slipped off her gloves, walking over to her bag to get her towel and water bottle. She sat down and laid back on the mat trying to catch her breath, glancing at the other two every now and then with a smile.

"Alright, now we can work on some wrestling." John straightened up his knee pads. They were red and a little stretched out, but they were still very comfortable.

Seeing as Macy was already laying on the mat, John decided to demonstrate some positions on her. He laid on top of her sideways. "Hope I don't squash you, ha.. Alright this is call side control, or crossbody depending on who you're talking to. I call it both of those things, so don't worry to much about the terminology. Now when I'm in this position, I want to be off my knees, and have my opponent carry my weight. I'm being nice here, but in an actual situation you want to squash them. You can smash your elbows on their face and floating ribs to make it extra painful, but I'm not gonna do that right now. Hope you don't mind me sweating all over you Macy ha.. sorry. Anyway, I'm just gonna show you a basic armlock that I call a top wristlock. Brazilian jiu jitsu calls this the americana, but that's only because they named it after an American wrestler." John grabs Macy's arm and locks up the hold. "Now to finish, all I gotta do is move her elbow to her hip and then lift it." John demonstrates slowly and gently, not wanting to cause any unnecessary pain. "Alright I'll show it again." John demonstrates a few more times. "Alright now who wants to try?" John sat back and smiled at Macy because he surprised her by this demonstration and didn't want her to be upset.

Macy gasped slightly at the sudden pounce of John, but she soon relaxed and watched his movements carefully. She looked up at him and once he was done with his demonstration, she proped herself up on her elbows and turned on her side. Her focus was set on Jackson now.

"How about it Jackson? If you don't want to try I will." She smiled and looked at John with a smirk. He really did know his stuff about wrestling.

Jackson backed away with his hands out, shaking them signaling he did not want to test his skills.
"I'm good thank you, what else can you teach us" he said almost frantic.
He hated using grabs and moves that brought him close to his opponent, it was an invasion of his personal space. Often when people did grab him, he could just squirm his way out, and if he did ever grab someone, chances are he would just throw them to the ground.

"Well, this is day 1 stuff man. If you don't want to learn the basics then you're doomed to lose to someone that does train the basics.. but I guess you can just drill with me Macy." John laid back and motioned for Macy.

"Fine by me." Macy rolled over and climbed ontop of John, getting into the position he had been in. She pushed some of her weight down on him, though she didn't weigh that much to start with. Macy glanced over her shoulder at Jackson and smiled while grabbing John's arm as he did to her "If you do change your mind, I'm here." She turned back and looked down at John.

"Ugh.. jeez you fatty." John laughs "I'm just kidding. Good job. Now if we could only convince Jackson that bonebreaking holds are effective for fighting." After Macy repeated the submission and worked out the kinks, John sat back up.

"This one specifically rips out the ligaments in your shoulder. It sounds pretty devastating. But see you just need to tap and take care of yourself, and you won't end up with a useless arm."!

"That doesn't sound very motivating." Macy patted John's shoulder and stood up, tightening her pony tail again with a laugh. She stepped closer to Jackson and reached her hand out the gentle rested it on his shoulder. "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Macy looked away and grinned "Well, if you don't hurt us."

Jackson sighed as he stepped on the mat, it felt like a marshmellow on his feet. He had trained under styles that use grabs before but they didn't use mats, he used sand, it hurt like falling on a rock at times, or felt like water in others, but he knew that it was much safer on mat.

"teach me Oh wise one" he said bowing and spreading his arms and legs as to let his teacher grab easily.

Jorge got off the bus, and walked down the street. He looked up at the sign outside, and checked the scrap of paper he had written down the name on. This was the place he had looked up. He watched through the windows for a little bit before walking in. The place wasn't fancy, but it was decent enough by Jorge's standards. He John demonstrating some basic grappling to the other students. He waited until there was a pause to walk up and introduce himself.

As Jackson was rolled to the ground and pinned in his panic to escape he managed to break a hand free and point to the man who had resently come in.
"hey stop theres someone knew look" He said as he thrashed trying to escape, He felt like john was going to end him, he felt his arm increasingly growing to be more painful and wanted to stop this madness as soon a possible.

John had barely even applied the hold before Jackson pointed at the door... "Oh another visitor... this guy means business." John looked down at Jackson. "I told you cut that bowing crap out. Respect is earned not given." John patted him on the stomach and walked over to introduce himself. "Hey man, nice cauliflower ear. Mines not too bad either ha... My name is John Santel, and this is the Strong Style Dojo. Those 2 back there are new students as well. Are you looking for a place to train?"

John looked back at Macy and Jackson. "You two can drill or spar or whatever you'd like to do while I talk to this guy."

Macy's attention turned to the guy that had just walked in. She looked him over and smiled before facing Jackson again. She walked over and drapped her arm over his shoulder and patted his back. "Calm down, you seem like were going to kill you." Macy smiled and nudged him "So what would you like to do? Practice on the punching bags, or practice the moves John taught us?" She pulled her arm away and stretched it. 3 new students in one day.
