Shun nodded and glanced over at the direction of the hanging bags across the room.
"They're good to practice some moves on. If you act like you're sparring against it, it can work for decent cardio," he explained, "You don't need to just kick it too. You can punch it and stuff."
There was a short pause there, then he glanced back towards Mitsu.
"If you'd like we could always give it a shot."

Mitsu looked over toward the punching bags as well. "Uuuh...s...sure." She finally decided though she sounded a little nervous. There was potential to learn something new...as well as make a complete fool of herself.
"Will you show me what to do?" Maybe if he led this operation she would have a good idea what to do and be less likely to mess up.

Nodding to the masked girl, Shun moved towards the bags and took in a deep breath. In the next moment, he got into a fighting stance and began to attack the bag with various kicks and punches. Occassionally he shifted around the bag as if he was circling an opponent as he striked at it further.
He paused after a bit of this, grabbing onto the bag to steady the thing.
"That one over there is a lighter bag I think," he said. The reaper figured that would be better for her.. so it probably wouldn't be as hard to hit either, "Don't hurt yourself."

Wow....Shun...really had a handle on what he was doing. He was attacking the bag like it was a person in front of him, the force of his blows making Mitsu look on in awe. If she worked really hard would she be able to do something like that? There was a little bit of doubt.
When Shun finally winded down and came to a stop, gesturing to another punching bag, Mitsu looked over toward it. Guess she would have a go at it. Getting into what she thought was a stance, which wasn't much of one at all, she looked the bag over shortly his last warning making her curious. "How can you hurt yourself just kicking a bag?" It was a curious question, nothing more as she attempted to kick at the punching bag.
Just as soon as her foot left the ground the wolf girl was off balance, the swinging force of her leg throwing her backward and taking her other foot out from under her. In one quick motion she was on her back like a turtle not completely sure how she had gotten there, the wind having been knocked out of her lungs. "I...I guess that's how.." She managed to say as she caught her breath.

Staring as she had managed to knock herself over, Shun frowned and moved on over to help up the girl.
"That's one way yes..." he said, wondering if this was really a good idea. Mitsu didn't seem to be all that coordinated, "Take it easy with the kicking. Remember to counterweight yourself."
He would have thought that with her tail that would be easier, but he supposed he could be wrong there.

With Shun's help the lycan was on her feet again only looking mildly embarrassed as she straightened out her mask that was now lopsided on her face. She sighed a bit standing back in front of the bag again.
Take it easy...counterbalance. It sounded easy but as usual applying the method was something else entirely. Taking a breath Mitsu tried to calm her nerves enough to try again. "O..okay. I..I guess I'll try again."
Trying to make sure she was a little more steady on her feet this time, Mitsu kept shuffling until she found a position that left her fairly stable. She was a little leery though as she kicked at the bag this time, but hey she was still upright AND had managed to kick the punching bag...it just wasn't a very powerful kick. "Like that?"

Standing by in case she ended up knocking herself over again, Shun watched her as she managed to successfully kick the bag.
"Good," he nodded firmly, "Go ahead and kick it a few more times. Alternate between feet. If you feel like you're up for it, try hitting it harder."
He remained close by a little longer. If she seemed to have this down, then he'd go ahead and return to his bag so he could continue as well.

He said good.... She had done good! The small praise lifted her up making her feel a little better about trying again. "I..I can try to kick it harder."
And harder she did. Now that she had her stance stabilized so that she wouldn't topple over Mitsu drew back her leg and let the punching bag have it. While her upper body wasn't very strong her legs had quite a bit of power to them. Enough so that the bag she was using was probably not appropriate sending it flying to the side rather harshly.

Shun didn't expect the girl to kick the bag so hard, especially since she had been struggling with the arm weights earlier. So when the bag smacked right into him, he had been shocked a fair bit. Grunting, he staggered back, just barely managing to stay on his feet after the blow.
It didn't hurt that much, but the impact did stun him some. He probably shouldn't have stood so close to the bag.
"Damn you can kick," he commented after recovering from the blow, before rubbing his chest a bit, ".. I think you should use a heavier bag.."

Mitsu honestly had expected to kick the bag so hard either. Shun had been hitting his so hard and it didn't move as much she didn't think it would go flying. "Ah! I'm sorry! I'm s-sorry!" She stuttered her apology making her way over to the reaper.
"A-a-are you okay?" She asked a little worriedly hoping she hadn't hurt him by sending the punching bag into him. "I-I didn't mean to." Her ears deflated like she was in trouble though he didn't seem mad. "I..I run a lot...and swim when I can." So basically she worked her legs a lot and nothing else. And her legs had built up strength carrying her backpack while her arms had not.

Shaking his head to get rid of the lingering effects of surprise, he stared at Mitsu and nodded.
"I'm fine," he said in his normal tone, "I didn't expect you to be able to kick it so hard, but if that's what you do then that would make sense."
Thinking on this, Shun nodded to himself.
"Your form could use a little more finesse, but you have good power in those legs. I wouldn't be surprised if you could kick quickly too," he said, "That may very well be how you'd fight then."

Mitsu gave a sigh of relief. He was okay, that was good. She would have felt horrible if she had actually managed to hurt him....and completely by accident too no less.
"F...fighting....right." Mitsu had forgotten, that was something that was apart of this school she had heard. She had never been good at it so she hadn't really been forced to participate in her other school. Mostly she had just been left to sit in the corner and told to stay out of the way.
"Y..you really think I can fight by kicking?" He said she needed work but that was understandable. She hadn't really done anything before today.

"You have the potential for it yes," Shun replied, "If you run a lot, you're probably quick on your feet."
Nodding, he moved on closer to his bag once more.
"Maybe I could help you out with that sometime," He murmured, "But for now just get a feel for kicking the bag."
Taking in a breath, he continued to strike his kicking bag one attack after another.

Mitsu supposed she could be fast, she had always been fairly good at track. At Shun's murmur Mitsu smiled slightly behind her mask, the tip of her tail wagging a bit. It was nice to know he was willing to help her out. That warm feeling she had continued to grow. It was nice having friends...how had she gotten by until now without them?
"Okay," She agreed. Getting used to kicking the bag sounded like a good idea so while Shun focused on his own work out again Mitsu continued to kick. A few times she sent herself off balance, still trying to master the stance that she needed but it seemed the power in her legs was rather consistent. No wonder she had throw herself off balance in the first place.

Leaving Mitsu to her own devices in the meantime, Shun continued to attack the kicking bag. At some point, however, he had moved a little awkwardly, feeling a sharp tug in his leg.
"Kuso!" he hissed before dropping down, gritting his teeth. The reaper let out a small string of curses under his breath before getting back up as quickly as he could. This wasn't the best idea as he felt pain shoot up the one leg. Even so, he was doing what he could to just ignore it. Still, he waited a few moments for it to subside. The pain didn't die down and he couldn't put a great deal of weight on the one leg.
