[akito]

Characters: Wanijima Akito & OPEN
Date: October catch-all
Location: All over; mostly Wood Sector
Situation: Multiple... Mostly training.
Warnings/Rating: n/a
Notes: This is a free for all log, so feel free to handwave the training and just interact with the other characters, or Akito, at a particular lesson/training session. Make sure to include which week your tag takes place in! Seriously - go nuts!


Beginner's Self-Defense
- Location: Wood Sector
- Days: Mon/Wed/Fri
- Time: 7:00am - 11:00am

Akito promised he would have training for beginners, and he isn't about to back out of something so important. The first month of training will be spent learning basic punching and kicking techniques, and practicing agility. It's important to know your body and it's limits, so you know when you can push them. He will also be very strict about injury prevention.

(open to Ryou, Enjorlas, and any other characters who want to start learning basic self defense techniques. he will eventually work up to teaching some simple knife skills.)



Advanced Group
- Location: Wood Sector
- Days: Mon/Wed/Fri
- Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm

He hasn't organized this in an effort to teach, but merely for the more skilled fighters on Keeliai to meet each other and discuss their techniques, and have the opportunity to spar with each other.



Taint Detecting
- Location: Anton's Hotel
- Days: Tues/Sat (starting 10/03/14)
- Time: 8:00am - 2:00pm

Thanks to Solomon's notes and lesson outlines, Akito does his best to teach the skill he's learned to others. Whether or not he's successful is up for debate, since he can't quite reproduce Karanea's exact lessons.

He'll be very strict about not causing a mess for Anton, since his hotel still hasn't completely recovered from its recent damage.



Hatchling Defense
- Location: Wherever the hatchling in question is located.
- Days: Varies between Tues/Wed/Sat
- Time: 3:00pm - 6:00pm Tues/Sat & 8:00am - 11:00am Sat

If any of the turtle hatchlings want to learn some self-defense, Akito will do his best to accommodate them. He doesn't know much about how a turtle would be able to fight, but he'll focus on them using their size to their advantage, and stress that they should never be afraid to bite someone who is trying to harm them.



Bending Training
- Location: Wood Sector
- Days: Sun
- Time: 8:00am - 12:00pm

Akito doesn't expect Zuko or Wan to show up, but he's hoping the other Benders he's contacted will come to train with him, and each other. He knows a good fighting technique that requires both air and fire elements - one that he, Agito, and Kazu had used before to great effect - and hopes he can pass it along successfully.

Since training will end at noon, he'll make sure to take the time to make lunch for everyone who turns up.



Etc.
Feel free to request a specific starter, or start your own thread.

Hopefully this works for everyone! If I need to change anything just let me know.

"You know, self-defense training," Ryou was more than willing to elaborate. "I bet you could teach at Korra's dojo if you wanted to."

[akito]

"Oh... Um, I've never taught it to anyone before," a shrug. "I was just trained in this sort of thing since before I can remember."

[onethirdthesoul]

"Eh, really? I would have never guessed," Ryou paused momentarily, and then went on. "That probably explains why they kidnapped you too..."

Considering the lack of tact, one might wonder if Ryou had really paused to think at all.

[akito]

"If they meant to kidnap someone who could fight, then they didn't mean to kidnap me. I know how to defend myself, but I said before that this body is weak." He manages to keep his irritation in check - barely. "If they wanted me to participate in a real fight this body would collapse on me before I could be useful."

He's exaggerating of course, but not by a whole lot. Without Agito, or his friends to urge him on and re-energize him, his stamina will be even less than it usually was. And it wasn't that great to begin with.

[onethirdthesoul]

Ryou wasn't sure what to say to something like that. It was hard to tell if Akito's feelings on his body being that weak were literal, or just psychological. "I don't think you're weak, Gazelle-san. It takes a strong person to not let other people push them around."
