*Synge lights up when Ksi waves to her. Always happy to be welcome!*
Alright, sounds great! I'll definitely be watching you guys.
*She nods and waits for the two to begin. While she waits she lets her mind wander. She was wondering which Ksi she preferred, because they were quite different. Of course, they were both just parts of Ksi as a whole...so in a way they were the same.*

With a playful smirk upon her face, she gets into a fighting stance. Her legs slightly bent, and shoulder width apart, she bounces on the balls of her feet ready for action as Ksi changes back to his former self.
Show off. As it is, is CLOBBERIN' TIME!
Then in a blink of an eye she does two flips and lands in a handstand right before Ksi. Raising her left arm off the ground she twists her body inwards alittle, and splits your legs apart to kick at Ksi's front. In the same movement, she flicks her kicking leg to bring her over, so now her left arm resides on the ground and her body twists again to kick out with her other leg. This time aiming for Ksi's back. The whole process happens within a blink of an eye that Ksi would have to react fast to block either kick. If either were to make contact it would jostle his body back and then forward before sending him off flying.
((xD Sorry I couldn't help it!
And it was Spike, although I told a few people it was Red later on.))

Ksi steps back to avoid her hand, and blocks the first kick with his arm. When the second kick comes at his back, his hand swings back swiftly and catches her by the ankle. Stepping forward quickly then, he spins and hurls her away from him.

*Synge smiles as she watches the two finally begin. She seemed to enjoy watching their action.*

Even as Ksi grabs her leg, she's able to use her fast moving momentum to turn his spin into a flip so that she lands flat on her feet some distance away. She starts into a zig-zag run now to pick up momentum once again and flips high into the air to pass over ksi's head. As she does she moves her feet to try and lock around his head and neck so that when she lands and rolls onto the other side she takes Ksi with her, slamming his body into the ground.

Red actually catches him with the flying headlock with her legs. However, he catches her as she does, sliding back a bit while spacing his feet for leverage and balance. With his arms around her waist, he then lurches forward with great force and speed as he snaps her down towards the ground with a violent Power Bomb. This technique has the potential of smashing her into the ground hard enough to leave her partially buried in the dirt.

Ksi jumps back to avoid the kick, and the two are left standing facing each other but are still several feet apart. Ksi grins and motions for Red to bring it on with a come hither type gesture.

(( Sorry Ksi, I meant to tell you, Becca is having some financial trouble and won't have internet for a while. She might not be on for some time... ))

(Alright, no problem.)
Ksi holds out his hand.
“Actually, why don’t we take a break here. We can resume the spar in a bit.”
Coming over, he gives Red an encouraging pat on the back, and then goes over and directs his attention to Synge. Offering her a hand up, he inquires of her.
“So, you ready to begin your lesson for the day?”

*Synge looks a little surprised when Ksi ends his spar so suddenly, but before she can question it she sees him offering a hand to her.*
Oh, alright then.
*She timidly takes your hand and lets you help her up to her feet. Her hand was most likely much softer than yours, not having seen too much physical labor in their days. Feeling a bit strange she let go of your hand quickly once she is standing, looking a little nervous (as usual). Brushing off her clothes she smiles and nods her head as if to say that she is ready.*
What do you have in mind for today?

“Alright, so we’ve talked about striking, and I’ve showed you a couple different ways to do so. There are really all sorts of angles which you can strike from, but in kenjutsu there are 9 vital points you need to remember.”
Ksi takes one of the wooden swords and approaches her.
“They are the head, right-shoulder, left-shoulder, chest, right-side, left-side, right-leg, left-leg, and groin.”
She sees his sword-arm flash rapidly before her, and she feels a very light touch on each of those areas as he says them, except for the last of course.
“You see? Well in anycase, we can talk about striking more in another lesson. Today I want to focus on blocking and parrying. I want you to strike at me. Feel free to aim anywhere you want, and to swing as fast and as hard as you like. I want you to be serious, and really try to hit me. I’m going to block your blows, so feel free to come at me with multiple attacks, if you can manage it. I want you to see and understand how I’m blocking, okay?”
Ksi steps back, and then throwing his cloak back, he readies his bokutou in his hand.

Let's see... *Synge looks a bit unsure when you give your instructions, clearly not all that confident in what she is about to do. However, she knows that she has to at least try. Taking up her own wooden sword she looks back to her first two lessons to place her body in the correct position, actually looking down at herself quickly to make sure everything looks right. With a nod she looks back up to face you with a look of concentration, as she is thinking about the two slashes she has been taught so far. After taking a deep breath she brings the sword up over her hand and moves forward with her left foot while bring the blade down to meet your block, just as she had been taught previously. Almost immediately after this she attempts to reproduce a lateral slash, moving her right foot first and then her left and making sure to be as fluid as possible in her sword movements. She was swinging the wooden sword with strength, but she was also careful not to just carelessly swing without keeping everything together.*((Let me know if I'm not making sense, or just being dumb. You're not only teaching Synge but me as well. xp ))
