Mirch walked into a small training hall with a few squad members as he looked around to see the area void of humane life before he entered as he looked behind at the people. They were volunteers who were to assist Mirch in his Muay Thai lessons to help him learn this martial arts. Mirch removed his shihakusho as he left his hakama on as he began to bandage his hands to prepare himself. Before he could begin the actual training, he must learn what exactly he is going to use as he requested one of the members bring him the book with the information.
"Basic Terms in Muay Thai; Mud or fists, Sork or elbow, Khao or knee, Tao or foot. Techniques in Muay Thai; Punch or Chok , Elbow Strike or Tee Sork or Fun Sork, Knee Kick or Tee Khao, Kick or Tae, Foot-Thrust or Theeb."
Mirch thrust his fist forward as he stretched himself as he was nearly done prepping himself as he spent the last few months exercising before being ready to learn. "Bring me the gloves." A person walked forward as he bowed to present the items brought as there was many items in stock to prepare the multiple types of training for any shinigami to learn. Placing the gloves on both his hands with help a bit, he had to assume the stance to begin learning. He cocked and bent his head own a bit as he had to protect his chin, with his eyes focused on a shinigami he had requested to be his sparring partner. "Assess your opponent's movements..." He thought as he read that before as he had to learn to have the right stance. He raised his arms and shifted every now and then as he kept them low and away from his face as he had to make sure not to hit himself. He kept his fists at eye-level as he extended his right hand out further and kept his body straight. He positioned his left foot in front of his right as he had to keep his foot as the lead.
"Now the positions." Mirch said as his opponent was in no hurry as he knew that Mirch must focus and learn the positions and movements before actually fighting. "I am in Jod, the stance that begins." He shifted his stance every now and then as he couldn't just say in the Jod position, he had to move forward, or Sueb Tao. "Koo Tor Su, the opponent in this match... If he attacks me, then.. Thoy!" He stepped back as the people watched his movements as this was the stance to make him move back and defend. He had the basic movements down, however he must move on to the next part, the offensive to truly put the stances and positions into practice.

"Kad." Mirch said as he lifted his arms up once more as this was the stance to begin a fight as he had to practice the first phase of this new style; punches. "Mud Trong, the straight punch." He whispered to himself as he had to practice this straight punch which was mainly to attack oponent's facial area such as chin, nose and mouth. He this was a simple enough punch to start off with as the opponent brought up a small mat to shield himself with. He punched forward with no curves in his right arm as he leaned to his right a bit as he punched forward with his left hand. "To increase the effectiveness of the punch, use the knuckle to attack the opponent as well as twisting the shoulders." Mirch heard as another member was holding the book reading that sentence out loud so Mirch could increase his punches effectiveness and power. Mirch nodded and gave thanks as he raised his arms up once more to try it out as he shot out his right arm as his arm was raised a bit with his shoulder twisted inward with his knuckles positioned forward as it met the defense with the left repeating in opposite. "Any change?" Mirch asked the person holding up the shield as he nodded ,"I felt stronger hits than the first try, so it seems the punches are given a stronger force from the impact of the knuckles and the twisting of shoulders prepare the arm to strike."
"Mud Wiang San, or Hook." Mirch said was the next type of punch he had to learn as the more he knew, would create combos in the future. Mirch bent his elbows a bit as a hook was meant to attack the side of the face with the back of his knuckles. He thrust his arm forward as he attacked the sides of the shield now as he continued for a minute, each punch weighing down his body as the blows continued. Stopping for rest, the shinigami read to him that to increase the effectiveness of the hook is the exact same as Mud Trong. He took a deep breath as he tried out once more as he twisted his shoulder inward as he brought the back of his knuckles forward as struck the shield with an intense attack. Continuing with his left, he twisted his left shoulder in as he gave another hook to the sides of the mat as he continued this repetition for thirty seconds.
"The third in the series of basic punches, is the Mud Seuy, the uppercut." Mirch said as this punch was aimed for the chin and stomach, usually when an opponent is stooping over himself. The shield was dropped as the person wore a chin guard to protect himself as this was a punch that required more than a simple mat to perfect. Mirch slid towards the shinigami as he jumped upwards, turning a pit as he raised his arm to strike vertically as he felt something odd as he turned to see he missed. Landing moved a few steps back as he had to time it right as simply doing the uppercut wasn't the key as he had to do it correct. Once more crouching under the shinigami, he rose upwards as he jumped with his fist clenched hitting the chin with his knuckles as the hit landed knocking the person upwards as he was knocked back a bit.
"Kra Dod Chock or jumping punch, and Mud Wiang Klab or spinning punch." Mirch whispered as those were the last two punches to learn as they involved momentum. The jumping punch was to use your own body's weight and channel it to give a single punch grand power rather than when standing. The spinning punch is a strike to go with a kick, for when the kick misses, the the Mud Wiang Klab is to be done to insure a strike landing. The shinigami held the mat up once more as Mirch stood as few feet away from him as he began running towards him as he jumped with his fist straightened out as he twisted his shoulder in as he struck using his body's momentum to push back the shinigami as Mirch was going to continue his attack with an attempt at a combo. He landed on the ground as he pivoted his body around as he kept his right hand out has he swung his fist into the same area where he struck with the Kra Dok Shock.

"Tae." Mirch said as he raised his leg upwards as he tried balancing himself as he hopped around for a bit before placing his left leg back down on the ground looking around. "The next lesson is kicks." The helper shinigami said as Mirch nodded as he understood that an arsenal of punches would be useless as this type of martial arts requires the whole body. Before the lessons on the other kicks, Mirch was going to practice kicks in general to warm up as he asked the helper bring him a training dummy as he preferred to save the actual training to the shinigami. "What I'm going to attempt is a bit different, so do not pay heed to me when you notice I have failed in my attempt." Mirch warned as he was going to attempt an odd combination of freestyle kicking; an enzuigiri kick into a double leg-drop on the shoulders. He realized this was out of place, but he had to test this maneuver so he would have no regrets for trying it on the battlefield out of place.
Mirch stared at the dummy as he began running at it with the intent to strike as he had remembered the positions and motions he had to do. The enzuigiri kick was set up so in case on of his foot should be caught, he could counter, however he was going to have to create his own feint. Mirch was now in distance as he had to take his momentum and use it as he raised his left foot as if about to stomp on the dummy's chest, but that was not the true strike Mirch was setting up for. Using the dummy as a step, he brought himself up as he swung around his right foot to the back of the dummy's head, connecting the strike. Next was the difficult part, he had to roll in the air as he needed to test out the double leg-drop to the shoulders. He began to rotate his body as he felt his body falling after losing his momentum as he was facing the ground now as couldn't complete the roll as his legs hung off the dummy's shoulders. He screamed a bit before hitting his forehead on the ground.
"Mirch-san!" The one who had fetched the dummy came to his side as he lifted his body up to take him off the dummy as he placed his on his back. "Are you alright?" He asked as Mirch shook his head and rubbed his forehead a bit. "I am fine Kai, let us continue the lessons, what is the first kick to learn?" The helper with the information nodded to the helper known as Kai as he moved himself to the wall watching the two. "Side kick or the Round kick, is known as Tae Tad. A common attack in Muay Thai as maintaining control has a low difficulty with balance being maintained." Mirch nodded as he looked at the dummy with focus as the information shinigami gave the last bit of information. "Swing your leg and motion your hip in the same direction to do the Tae Tad."
Mirch walked towards the dummy as he took a deep breath as he brought his right foot back as he was going to try twenty Tae Tad kicks. Raising his right leg, he struck at the side of the dummy as it shook from the impact of the strike, but the attack didn't end as repetition began to take place. The rhythm of the kicks began to fill the room as each strike numbed a bit of his leg, however he had to continue as he stopped for a moment as he switched legs. The cycle of raising his legs and striking the sides of the dummy continued as the information shinigami nodded as each strike was continuing to perfection as Mirch stopped with his twentieth left Tae Tad kick.

Mirch sighed a bit as his resting time was up as the information shinigami was going to tell him of his next attack. "Tae Chiang, the Diagonal kick. Normally you would use your shin to attack the lower rib-cage of the target. As the name suggests, the Tae Chiang is done by swinging the leg diagonally upwards to attack against the target." Mirch was sitting on the ground absorbing the information as he stood up taking in the words as he visualized how the kick should be done. "Normally, use your shin, huh?" Mirch thought to himself as he walked towards a new dummy Kai had set up during the time he was resting. Taking a few practice kicks into the air off to the side, he turned to face the dummy as he began.
Taking an offensive stance, he raised his right leg upwards diagonally to strike at the stuffed mid-area of the dummy as it shook for a second. The impact was felt by both as Mirch continued his Tae Chiang strikes at the dummy's rib area with each strike becoming faster with each consecutive strike. Each kick shook the dummy as Mirch continued as he counted in his head with each kick. "17...18...19...20..." Mirch stopped for a moment as he switched stances so his left leg could be brought forward to strike now. He repeated as his left kicks were a bit weaker, however he continued to strike as he made sure not to slack off. "Each strike will make me stronger and I will learn this fighting style..." Mirch muttered with determination as he stopped once he reached the twenty count.
"Tae Kod, the Hook or Down round kick. It's common use is due to it being full of power more so than Tae Tad and Tae Chiang. The reason behind its power is when you kick, your hip and body will fully twisted in the same direction of the swing, which will increase the power of the kick. The Tae Kod can be used to strike those who have ducked or moved into a lower position, but has one major disadvantage. Should the person miss, then you will lose your balance and would be open for counter-attacks." Mirch listened intently as he decided he needed a living opponent for this one as he requested Kai to come forward to be his sparring partner for this attack. "Thank you for doing this." Mirch said as Kai gave a small nod and smile as he soon became serious, for if Mirch failed to strike, he would strike back.

Mirch turned his body facing away from Kai, as he needed to strike in this position otherwise failing in stance and position using Tae Kod. Raising his right leg, he bent his leg as it was sent upwards, before striking downwards quickly as his leg motioned downward. Mirch felt his leg go down and brush off the shoulder of Kai, as his then felt a grip on his leg as he was grabbed with both hands. Motioning his hands off to the side, Mirch was tossed away into the wall as he hit with a thud before landing on the ground with a heavier thud. "I need to be sure to strike my opponent, otherwise I'll keep being countered like this." Mirch thought as he began rubbing his head a bit where he struck the wall. Rolling his body forward so his could be on his knee, he knelt down before standing up once more as his knee gave a small cracking sound.
"HA!" Mirch shouted as he attempted his fourth attempt at the Tae Kod as his leg struck the shoulder, however Kai once more threw him into the wall as the cracks began to spread and disperse with each attempt. "You didn't use your leg's full strength, fully twist your hip and body." Kai told him, for Mirch realized the weakness of this attack and he had to lower that percentage of failure, otherwise he wouldn't be able to continue on his other lessons. Getting up to attempt once more, Mirch took his stance as he raised his leg with it hovering above Kai's shoulder. Swinging his hip downward with his leg, he aimed to strike for Kai's neck instead as Kai was brought down with the kick as he felt the blunt force of the strike stronger than before.
"Tee Sork; The Elbow Strikes." The Helper Shinigami said as Kai was lying on the far-back while resting from the concussions from multiple Tae Kods to the head. "Luckily he wasn't being practiced on with these, for these are quite lethal. Elbow Strikes in Muay Thai are are used when the opponent is in close range and can cause severe injuries, mostly targeting the cranium area, neck, jaw, and so forth. These strikes are flexible, moving horizontal and vertical, but method is the key to different impacts." Mirch nodded as he had to rest a bit for he had to wait for his body and the wall that behind him to regenerate and heal.
