Tsuzuki was in the small gym where he had taught Valens though it was a different class. Rather than learning how to wield a weapon in this class he was to teach how to understand ones self and gain some form of inner peace. Seishin-teki kyōyō was a technique that could be utilized in many different ways. In this class he was going to use yoga to help train the youth.
He had read over her DNA finding it interesting, the Indigo Snake. Female. This would be his first female student, not that it mattered to him what gender he taught but he was curious if anything to how she would look like. All the children thus far were very different from each other. He would have to make a note with each one on how to better utilize their natural abilities to the class.
Stretching he was warming up, slow and very methodical. He had a cd player ready though it wasn't turned on. A stack of cd's lay neatly beside it. He wore no shirt only yoga pants and bare feet.

The solemn preteen was eager for this class in particular, although outwardly she showed no such emotion, instead calmly walking toward the small gym, her footsteps almost silent. She was dressed in her knee-length military coat, her slacks rolled to the knee, and a pair of sandles. Upon reaching the gym, she opened the door and entered, removing the sandles and her jacket to reveal wraps covering her chest and nothing else. Their outfits were quite similar.
The snake's eyes took in her instructor, and she nodded her head respectfully as she stepped onto the mat covering the ground, introducing herself.
"Tyven Reever."
She was extremely punctual.

Mr. Tsuzuki finished the stretch he was working on before straightening and turning to face his student. On time. Perfect. Though his pleasure at her puntuality didn't show he adjusted his glasses before taking them off completely.
"Mr. Tsuzuki." He introduced himself politely though he didn't offer a hand to shake.
"Your on time Ms. Reever. Excellent." He continued as he then went towards some lockers and put his glasses in one that had the door open.
"We shall not waste time. I have spare jiu jitsu kimono's you can wear in place of your jacket. You will not need shoes for this lesson, you can place them by the front door or in a locker." He said as he then turned back around to face her.
"I shall arrange the matts in a more suitable layout. There is a small change room on your left." He instructed as he then went ahead and started picking up the matts and dragging them about to form a square.

Seeing as she'd already removed both her coat and sandles, the young woman chose to leave both by the door, hanging her coat on the rack, and crossed the room on light feet, selecting a suitably sized jujitsu gi, and wrapping it around herself in a practiced manner. She wasn't the martial arts type, but she had taken a class or two at the local gym. In moments, she was ready.
Now that her instructor had finished setting up the mats, she calmly stood beside them, purple gaze observant. He was a new teacher, that much she knew, but he clearly had his stuff down.
"How knowledgable are you in this particular discipline, Mr. Tsuzuki?" She wasn't seeking to insult him, but realized that one could be qualified to teach, and yet not be a master. Tyven wanted to know if this was one of his specialties, or not. Unlike most of the children he'd taught so far, her parents made no decisions in which classes she took, and Tyven had carefully applied for this one on her own. She'd even done some basic research on the subject, just so she'd have a slight understanding of the concepts before getting started.

Finally having the matts arranged the way he wanted he faced his student who was already in her gi and looked ready to start. And weither or not he was offended by her question it didn't show.
"This form of Ninjitsu, I can teach but I would say I only know the fundementals. Like any subject while teaching I will also be learning. If you wish to progress past my skill level you will have to find someone else I am afriad." he answered honestly, his tone level, his grey blue eyes looking into Tyven's purple ones.
"I use this subject to help with my other teachings as it helps to focus the mind and calm the soul. Practing every day before a class or everyday in general." He continued before moving towards the cd player. He bent over to pick up couple of the top disks before pausing.
"Dissapointed?" he asked now flipping the disks over to read the backs o fthem before deciding on a forest and nature sounds cd and placing it into the player.

"Not at all."
Tyven's arms were crossed behind her back, hands gripping the opposite arm's elbow as she calmly observed her instructor. He would be a good one, unlike some. "I am not at your level, so you are a suitable teacher." A slight smile. "It has been said that the best teacher is only a few steps ahead of their pupil, otherwise they would be unable to relate to one another and would become disinterested in what the other has to offer."
Focusing the mind? Calming the soul? Tyven was definitely interested. Her bloodlust had to be firmly tethered... Before she seriously hurt someone. She hated to lose her cool in a fight. She awaited instruction.

Was that a hint of a smile on his face? If so it was gone in a instant replaced by his stoic expression. This would be a good student. She was polite and looked like she was interested in learning. He had to wonder why drew her to this class.
He gave a curt nod of his head to her and then offered a matt to her. "We shall begin with stretches first. After that we shall attempt to do some yoga as well stilling our mind. You have no objection to forest sounds for background noise do you?" he asked politely enough as he went over to his own matt and went to sit down upon it.

"No, I do not. We require 'background' noise?" Tyven had thought that maybe it would be silent. Then again, maybe the noise was the point. To ignore it, and concentrate on oneself. Accepting the yoga mat, Tyven gave the man a respectful nod, rolling it out a short distance from his.
Sitting on the map, she mimicked the stretch that her new master had just began, gaze intense.

Kuyoja looked to his student and shook his head. "It is not needed, most people just find they are able to concentrate better. There are a few people that tend to focus on the silence around them rather than their inner mind." He explained the need for the music, but if she didn't wish it on he could turn it off.
"If you wish to have it turned off I can do that." He continued as he then sat with his knees bent the bottoms of his feet pressed agaisnt each other easily. His hands took the tips of his toes and cupped them. He then leaned forward and began to stretch.
"Follow my lead then." He continued without a pause in his stretch. "While stretching, try to focus on your movements, your body. Listen to what your body is trying to tell you while you move, be slow...decisive...like time is coming to a stop just for you...you have all the time in the world."

"No, this is fine, Sir."
That was... Nice. The world stopping. Tyven's breathing began to slow, become almost meditative as she followed her new instructor in stretches. As they continued through them she began to focus almost entirely on the feeling of her muscles warming, stretching out, following and observing Kuyoja's movements subconsciously, only. It was almost as if she was made for this.
The minutes were passing quickly, however, she was not aware of it. Timelessness.

Kuyoja continued the stretch until he eflt they were ready to move do a different one. Smoothly he stretched out a leg until it was about nintey degrees from his body,he proceeded to do the same with his other leg. This man was very flexible, as he basically was doing the splits, either either leg beside his body.
"Now....I want you to focus on the part of your soul that tends to the most active. Observe it. Is it a part you like? A part you dislike? what about it drives you?" He asked his eyes still closed, his movements slow. This was more like a therapy session than a melee class it seemed.

Tyven did as the man asked, her eyes sliding shut once more as her breathing slowed. She responded aloud, but it was mostly to herself, her low voice barely above a whisper as she studied herself.
"... Rage, shame... Fear..." No, she did not like it. But right now... She felt peaceful. Copying the man's movements, the now years of training she'd been doing paid off, not that she stretched her legs quite as far as he. She was a very advanced girl.

Kuyoja noted the words the girl spoke of, his eyes opened slowly as he observed the girl.
"Tell me, you speak of shame. Does it involve your actions? Or something deeper?" He asked while he watched her stretch and noted that she was well advanced in these stretches. She must train hard....everyday most likely. And he could deduce from that notation that she probably did it to keep herself focused.
Rage; Violent, explosive anger. Seeing her now it was hard to figure that she could get into fits of violent rage. Unfortunately he would have to see what the extent of her violent behavoir detailed before he could really find a way to help her. He would ask around with the other teachers to see if he could find a good description of her actions.
"How have you been handling your ...'rage' up till this point?" He asked again, for knowing as much as he could would be more helpful.

This was as open as Tyven got, her eyes closed, in an almost sort of trance. Not even thinking that she was telling a teacher these things and she bent forward, stretching her legs, arms, and back. "It involves... Me... I train everyday until I'm exhausted... Then I can't feel the rage... I stay with Cleo. She soothes me." A pause. "The rage is not new to me, just growing stronger. I have been a mistake from the beginning." She was referring to her DNA, his mismatched skin, everything.
"I attacked a teacher." Orpheus had goaded her into beserk mode, and she'd tried to attack him. She had even killed a man, or, so she thought. She'd been in beserk mode at the time, and couldn't really remember anything. Rapier had told her to be quiet about that, though. "I am ugly."

Kuyoja listened, Cleo was it? She sounded like the girls rock. Something she could tie herself toso not to be dragged away in her rage. It got him thinking, though specializing in many eastern ways of fighting, it wasn't to say that he was ignorant of the ways of other cultures and their military histories.
He remained silent as she announced having attacked a teacher, he would have to discover whom it was and what exactly he or she had done to provoke her. As to her insecurityof her own being....he wasn't sure if he would be able to help her on such issues. It would be more for a pycologist than a melee teacher to help with.
After a moments silence he spoke;
"Did you know...that in Norway, a long time ago, they used warriors that could beserk? They were called beserkers. They faught without armor, and wore often times the skins of bears or wolves on their body. They were fabeled to strike down an enemy with a single blow, and believed that the animals spirits could take over their spirits and drive them into the violent rages that would terrify and defeat their enemies." He explained the vikings and their fabeled warriors for he did not want the girl to feel as if she were alone in her plight.
"They were highly respected and used often times in beserkergangs. But, they also knew when to turn on and off there rage. If they were able to do such things, I am positive you will be able to gain control over your own rage." He continued as he then moved to stand stretching out his arms and legs slowly.
"There are no mistakes in life. Often it was fate or destiny that brought you here. Do not regret your own existance, for you are still a an important soul as are all others." he said, as if trying to reassure her that she was still valued in her existance.
