Slowly with out Mizuki as well?
"I didn't mean right away.... " he said with a smile. He then said " goodnight " and went to his room.
The next morning he woke up and found Nyima in the dojo. He nodded with a smile and went to a corner and practiced breathing. Then after a few minutes he began to go through his forms, but it wasn't earth style only, it was mix with every style. Having studied all styles growing up to make his own style that was faster stronger and more fluid. Which he studied and practiced every day since he was eight.
Afterward he then said to her " How are you this morning? Did you sleep well ?"

Soooo
After a bit of throwing punches, Rayn decided to see what happens if he let his stance go. He moved to close and spread his legs too far apart and in a punch put too much drive into it and too high. Then is when he saw the flash in her eyes and he knew she saw the opening. It wasn't huge but it was small enough to make a difference. She took it with a quick trip shove which used his own awkwardness and weight against him . He went down but used the momentum to rolled back up to his feet with ease.
" Good ... I'm glad to see your patience and ability to see when I made a mistake, and to act upon it in a split second. Many battles are won and lossed in those split seconds. Never hesitate for it may be your last."
"I think you should practice those things for now, I have some things you can use to practice with, "he motioned towards all the equipment in his appartment/ dojo.

He hit the ground and looked up at her, she was smiling as she asked " how'd I do?"
He smiled back and said" perfect." He rolled back onto his feet and had her practice five more times . Which didn't hurt him at l because he knew how to fall with out hurting himself. The Matt helps as well. He was impressed with how quickly she got it: the last time he came at her he came at full strength to give her the true feeling of the throw.
He smiled and said "Good." He looked at her and said, "now for some blocking techniques. Obviously if there are multiple attackers they won't do the same thing twice. For this you must be fluid in your motions. Again using their strength to knock themselves off balance and their momentum to fuel your strikes.
Let us try it;" with that he raised his hands. And punched half strength and speed. Fairly slow and easy to block. As they will continue this exsersize he would continually go faster and faster, switching hands in random patterns till she would get used to blocking it and use it to her advantage.

"I can do that. It is, after all, for my own safety."she said after he gave her some rules to live by
She looked at him for a moment then asked, "But... you'll still teach me as well... correct? With self defense and the basics? Right?"
He nodded as she finished and then said, "Of course I will. I promised. I never break my promises."
She then smiled at him, "What next?"
He took a step towards her "Well we will practice you throwing me on my back" he said with a smile.
He then said," what most untrained men do when they are going to attack an unarmed girl is to use their strength and to subdue you quickly, much like that man did to you before. A simple way to turn his energy to his is this." He moved toward her slowly his arms outstretched towards her. If I were running or moving quickly towards you, I expect you to duck push back or be frozen with fear. What I don't expect is you to take your hands and to grab my forearms from below and push up, then turning your hip so you face away from me, my momentum will hit you, but because ou are lower than me your center of Gavity will buck mine. Knocking my legs from under me." He then moved back. "You ready?"

"So... kind of like if someone were to run at me... Rather than pushing them away... Pulling them passed would be wiser since I wouldn't have fight their weight and their momentum would work against them."She scratched the back of her head, "Right?"
Rayn smiled as she caught on. Of course she already had training in this . "Exactly which what makes Tai Chi super dangerous when mastered, you are making an opponent fight his greatest enemy... Himself. That's one if the reasons Water benders are able to keep to their traditions. They can defend it well."
She held up her hands when he said he was going to find her a water bender to teach her. She shook her head, "I can do that... You've already done so much... I was thinking of speaking with the woman at the market... Selling Northern Water Tribe wares, she's ought to know plenty of waterbenders.... I figured I'd ask her if she could point me in the right direction of a good teacher," she smiled at him, "You really don't have to do everything for me..."
He bowed slightly." Forgive me... I just want to make sure you have a great start here. But you are right, the first step to being self sufficient is to be independent... But here are some rules I would ask you live by... Only to protect you. At least till you can take care of yourself.
1. Let me know in advance where you are going, I'll point you in a safe direction away from known gang locations.
2. Don't be out after dark. Lame I know but that's when the gangs thrive and easy to snag someone. If you are I would like to be with you.
Don't think I'm making these to control you. But as a guide of what not and to do here.

Rayn glanced at Nyima when he mentioned bringing her home. He knew that wasn't going to go well, he tried convincing her to at least visit home she wouldn't go for it. She stepped away from him as he introduced Mizuki and her, “Pardon?” She asked obviously lost in thought. She looked at Rayn, “Oh…. Umm… Friends, just friends.” He looked at her as she said that... Smiling inwardly.
She looked around the area, god how much she just wanted to run away. However, she felt like Rayn would be awfully Nyima looked up at Zhou when he explained to the girl, that she had most likely never heard of her. She was about to say something when he mentioned bringing her home. She stepped away from him as he introduced Mizuki and her. She nodded to her slightly but her mind was only on what he had said. Home? She couldn’t go home. She didn’t wish to go home. Her brother was saying something, “Pardon?” She asked before she pieced together his question. She looked at Rayn, “Oh…. Umm… Friends, just friends.”
He watched as she moved and stood next to him. She bit her lip and looked up at her brother. She looked at him for a moment before sighing, “I’m… no going home with you, Zhou…. Um… No… Let me rephrase….” She glanced at Rayn and back to her brother, “I… I am home…”
Zhou stood like a deer in the headlights. Rayn felt sorry for him how he would feel after seeing family after three years and they say their home is somewhere else. Zhou stuttered " I ... Uh... Ok.... " as he tried to think what to say." Um... So what have you been doing these last few years?" He looked to Rayn and asked " How did you meet Nyima?"
Rayn looked at Nyima then said, " the day she came to Republic City three years ago..." He knew if he said saved her from getting raped Zhou would go nuts. " She needed help and we met just in the right place in the right time."
Zhou nodded and looked back to Mizuki as she said, "It's nice to meet you, Niyma. I apologize for not knowing of you from the tribe before now, I'm sure that must seem rude.. And nice to meet your, uh... friend.. as well." Mizuki offered a light smile to Niyma then to Rayn who nodded in return. She then looked back to Zhou
"Though she may have left some years ago, she seems to be in good hands where she is now, would you not agree, Zhou?" Zhou looked back at her then to Rayn, "Yeah... It does" he looked Rayn up and down discreetly. The way he held himself, his posture. The obvious muscle tone and strong hands showed he was a exellent fighter
"How long have you been in the city? We've only just arrived ourselves." Mizuki asked.

"How long have you been in the city? We've only just arrived ourselves." Mizuki asked.
He stood there for a moment as she moved swiftly and placed a foot on the back on his knee. He didn't move because as soon as she moved he could tell she was not going full out. His hunch was confermed when she placed a foot on the back of his leg. Then scurried over in front of him shyly "I said I don't know much."
He nodded and said. "Ok. You told me but i need to see it. I want you to hit me I'm not a piece of glass. Don't be timid. Be confident. " He then motioned her to come at him again.
Nyima came at him, she used flowing motions as she punched multiple times. They were slightly clumsy and rusty and slow as she was thinking of the moves as she goes. Each punch and kick, Rayn ducked shifted spun with out moving his hands from his back. He would lift his legs once in a while to block random moves here and there. After a bit he lifted his hand to stop her by catching her last punch. He watched her as she breath was heavier now.
He then nodded and said, " Better... Waterbenders use Tai Chi, an internal style that focuses on the control of energy. It is a very soft, gentle and flowing, but devastating when mastered. You must learn to use little strength to defend yourself. Which is perfect for you because of your lack of strength... No offense. " he said with a slight smile. "With Tai Chi, you create circles to pass by attacking energy and issues their own energy outward. In short you take their energy and reverse it back onto them. While being used for combat, Tai Chi also serves as therapy for the purpose of health and longevity. "Tai Chi" literally translates into "Incredible Energy," and it earns its title. Even you, when you become a master of it can defeat the strongest attack of an earth bender with his own strength."
He then continued " I've studied Tai Chi a little to help with my personal style. So I can teach you the basics but I've will find a water bender later."
