Welcome to Gaia! ::

Matt's left leg rammed into the bag, just near the bottom. The shin sank two inches into the leather before making it swing just slightly. Matt bounced on his toes for a few moments before settling back into a fighting stance, then delivering another sharp kick, making the bag pop.

(Three Posts Remaining)

He figured he would throw a few blows, as if distracting the target from his true intent. A flurry of blows pounded into the bag before the sudden kick made it swing yet again. Okay, that one felt good.

(Two Posts Remaining)

Matt wasn't even breaking a sweat yet as he threw a few jabs at the bag, making sure to put his weight behind the short punches. A refresher on the basics was never a bad thing. One jab, another, and then a sharp kick with the left leg. He imagined it doing some damage to someone's knee. Thirty miles an hour was more than enough to do that.

(One Post Remaining)

He threw another kick, managing to dig his kick five inches in instead of two. Matt grinned as he stepped away from the bag, taking a break from his drills. "Hell yeah, that was a good one!" Matt headed over to the water fountain to take a drink, fired up about the rest of his workout.

Now that Jonathan had completed the first stage of the style, he went back to the book for the next thing. After doing a quick search he came across the next skill called Lightning Fist. So he took a few minutes to read up on the skill.
1/4

"The user builds up lightning into their fist and punches an opponent with a quick but powerful blow that can send them flying if the user so desires. This also has the ability to stun and paralyze an opponents body for one post if hit and slow them down for an extra post. At level 3 this technique can be used with feet as well."
2/4

Jonathan read over the specifics of the skills a few times before he thought he had a pretty good grasp on it. Essentially all the skill is is to focus your lightning energy into your fist, and punch your opponent with it. Simple in theory, but it still needed to be practiced.
3/4

So Jonathan took a moment to wait for the training room to create an opponent for him. Once it did, Jonathan focused his lightning energy into his fist, and punched at the holographic person. The electricity jumped into the person's body, and he fell to the ground.

Jonathan watch the hologram stumble back, looking a little sluggish as he did so, and knew that he had learned his skill correctly. After the hologram righted it'self back up, Jonathan made himself comfortable on the ground. He then opened up the book again, and looked up the next skill, and read it out loud.
1/6

"A technique that looks just like the Lightning Fist, but isn't. This is a trap used against opponents who try to block the Lightning Fist using their ki. However, the Thunder Break draws its power using the opponent's ki instead, turning their defense against them while bypassing it at the same time. For this reason the Thunder Break can get through all ki-related defenses and deal direct damage to their opponent equal in rank to the energy being used against them. Furthermore, unlike the Lightning Fist this technique does not stun or slow down the opponent when hit."
2/6

"However, by offensively sending the opponent's energy back through their body their ki channels become blocked, disabling them from using any skills for 3 posts. If this attack is used against somebody who doesn't use an ki-based defense against it, then this skill does nothing and becomes just a normal punch. Cannot be done with the feet."
3/6

After reading some more of the specifics of the skill, Jonathan still wasn't too sure how the skill was done. He had a vague understanding of how the skill could be done, but wasn't sure how to put it into use. But like all skills, he probably just needed to practice until it worked.
4/6

Jonathan told the hologram what he needed it to do, and started concentrating energy into his fist. The hologram took a stance, and surrounded himself in a blue energy shield. Jonathan took a moment to just look at the energy shield, before bringing back his fist, and punched at it.
5/6

But the lightning gathered in his fist just fizzled against the energy shield. Well I guess I just have to try it a different way. He thought, and started gathering his energy again. He used his energy a little differently, and gathered it into his fist. He felt the lightning race around his arm, and punched at the energy shield. The lightning then converted the hologram's own energy into lightning, and shocked him.
6/6 Thunder Break learned

Alma walked ahead of Raven as she saw the room. she quickly enter the room and was at aww at the sight of it "hmmm...I would kill for a room like this" she said as she began day dreaming on what she will do with it. after a short while she stop day dreaming and began to walk foreword and look down at the book she checked out "hells grasp..."

After getting out of the pool and toweling himself off, Jonathan went to his book and opened it up. Now that he had gone through the training of the first stage, he looked up the first skill in the book. Frozen Touch, seems like a pretty good first step.
1/2

Jonathan read up on the specifics of the skill, and then set down the book. He focused on his energy, lowering it's temperature till it was colder than ice, and touched the water in the pool. He then poured out his energy into the pool, and it slowly turned into ice.
2/2 Frozen Touch learned
