Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kusari picked up the book once more. "The stances of Zui Quan resemble a drunkard holding his cups in front of him." Kusari acted as if he was holding a bottle in his right hand and firmly gripped his sake bottle in his left. He exhaled strongly as he shifted his weight back slowly before bringing it into a steady jog of back and forth movements. He began to experiment with his hand placement, but no matter how he spun it the only comfortable positioning was a very loose stance with his hands fighting to stay up in front of him.

Then Kusari tried to work in natural combat with this stance. First he threw a punch and practically launched himself forward from the momentum that this stance put behind his punches. Perhaps this was a wiser choice than he had originally thought. Next he tried a kick, but alas it was not nearly as good. This instantly shattered all the hopes he had only just formed moment ago as it became obvious that kicking from a mid range style, meaning standing, would be an impossibility at this point in time.

Kusari rolled to his left quickly, then bringing his knee to his chest he extended his leg upon contact with the ground, launching himself upwards and turning it into a flurry of kicks before landing somewhat gracefully. The graceful landing did not last for to long, because the move left him somewhat disoriented. He went to the book and skimmed over the next section. Falling. Kusari quickly skimmed over it deciding it would be best to incorporate the falls in recoveries together so that he could practice a bit more.

He began with a simple backwards fall followed by a simple swing of the legs to recover followed by a string of low kicks as he guarded his face. Next he did a backflip, trying to make it appear that he had face planted, but taking the majority of the impact in his knees, calves and stomach. Then he swung his feet around, supporting his weight on his arms and sweeping beneath where he imagined the opponent to be before swinging his weight over his head and coming up with what would be a nut punch and guarding his face once more. Kusari then moved on to side falls. Side falls began by stumbling out of the way before falling, and thus Kusari did the same. Immediately after falling he rolled behind his imaginary opponent and used his core muscles along with a push off from his hands to swing his foot up and over into the opponents head, imagining them turning as he did. He quickly compensated and made use of his position, bringing his right foot downward into a sweep as his left foot went in for the kicked the the back of his opponents head in order to knocked them down into submission.

Kusari ran to the book, eager to learn more. He read over the section on leans, which is what he hated the most. He gently leaned back to a level beyond comfort and held it. He began to test his range of motion by stretching his arms and rotating using his core muscles and his center of balance to his advantage. It was here in this moment he realized that this position gave him nearly limitless options.

Kusari had nearly 120 degrees of motion bending backwards alone, and virtually any movement he made carried his full weight. He began to think of how easy it would be to fall from this position, and thus trip the opponent. His thoughts raced as he thought of these many options with a wide smile. His body began to sway back and forth lightly, giving him visual of what was in front of him. This was going to be the pentacle of Drunken Fist.

He pushed himself upwards, and continued gliding back as he fell to the ground once tumbling over himself and rising up once more to take his drunkard stance. He swayed a little, staring at his imaginary cup as he did so, then he staggered forward. Right. Left. Right. Left He got in close and pretended to throw a punch, ducking down and popping up quickly with a mighty uppercut before landing and spinning on his foot. He leaped forward and landed short of his imaginary target falling and waiting for a second before grabbing out pulling back as his body rose up, stacking up slowly vertebra by vertebra until he stood at his full height.

He turned to his side and pretended to pick up a penny before going into a cartwheel stopping short, kicking forward before falling to the ground. He rolled sprung up and kicked forward landing clean and swift. It was time to get a dummy to test his moves on. Kusari left to get one out of the supply closet and returned with it soon after. He memorized its form momentarily before beginning his assault.


((( ninja This is why I hate PrPs on my own ... I run out of material.)))

Kusari stared intently into the dummies eyes. He was 100% mentally drunk now. "Hey! Getyourash ... ova .. to me!" He dropped his upper body and let it go limp for a moment before rushing the target and taking off into a flying spin kick. One hit, two hits. Kusari's feet bashed into the side of the dummies head. Kusari continued to spin as his knee made contact with the dummies head as his hands grasped it on the other side. "LEAP FROG!" He planted his foot into the dummies shoulder and pushed off of it, falling backwards and skidding on his back for a moment before flipping over entirely and landing on his feet with his arms in front of him touching the ground and making him look like some type of animal. "MOO CHOO!!!!" He ran at the dummy again going "Chugga chugga mo chugga chugga MU SHU!" He hit the ground sliding beneath the dummy as the support pole entered the space between his legs, stooping just short of his genitals. "That was close." Kusari began to sober up as he stood, stumbling at first, but slowly getting better as he walked over to the book and shoved it in his robes.

He returned to the dummy and placed both hands on its shoulders. "You done good Leroy. Now its back to the closet." He began to exit the secluded space, dragging the dummy behind him as he returned it to the closet once more. He would keep this training a secret, just like his fake sake.
