The Training Room This is building which was originally used for production and storage purposes before most factories and work places began to shift to the Eastern Quadrant of the city. It has three separate floors to it. The first for looks like a normal abandoned warehouse to deceive those who enter uninvited. The second floor is a place where the gang-members can practice their martial arts. It has been "decked-out" with training equipment such as pads, dummies, weights, and so on. Upon the third and rooftop the gang-members can practice their Parkour/Free-Running skills.

Viktor came up to an old abandon building. He was sure he coulkd get some practice in here. He entered the building, a bit hesitant at first but continued inside. He looked around and saw that no one was here, but this was a great place for runners. He couldn't help himself because as he made it to the third floor, it was a great place to practice running skills. He then smiled and started to run and jumped from a scaffold to a window ledge, he then wall jumped from the ledge towards a cat walk. He climb it and pulled himself up. He looked around from the top of the building. "Man, this place is amazing"

NPC: David Torres One of the higher ranking DareDevils stepped out from behind one of the A/C units atop the building. "Not half bad," he said to the man who had just came to the roof. "Actually, it was pretty decent," he said as he began to make his way up to him. "My I teach a few more things that might benefit you in the end?"

Viktor turned quickly. He hadn't expected anyone else to be here. "New moves you say?" Viktor thought as he spoke. He was finally going to get the chance to learn something new. The boy answered with confidence. "Heh, I'm game. When do we start?" He said smirking.

NPC: David Torres "We'll start now," he said with a grin. "Pay attention carefully. I'll call out the moves which you need to learn in order to become a DareDevil Novice. First, the Muscle Up." The man, who seemed to be in his mid-twenties walked over to an air vent. It was just taller than the average man. He pulled himself up onto it. "Next, the Roll," he said as he readied himself to jump off of the duct. He leaped. When he landed he proceeded to hit a basic Roll. "Now, the Under Bar," he jogged over to a railing and slung his body beneath it while he held onto it. "And last, the Lazy Vault," he placed one hand onto the same bar and vaulted over it. "Learn those and we shall continue."

Viktor nodded. He listened to his superior and noted that the first move was muscle up. Viktor looked around and saw a short scaffold he could use to try the muscle up move on. He then walked towards it and looked up at it. He shook off his arms and jogged in place for about a second before placing his hands on the suface of the scaffold. He took a deep breath before he started to pull himself up the side of the scaffold, using only his upper body strength to pull himself up. Making sure to not use his legs at all. Merely using just pure strength, Viktor pulled himself up the scaffold and smiled. It seemed that was a simple task to complete.
Viktor remember what the next move he was suppose to learn next. It was the simple move any free runner should know, the roll. Viktor realized he would need to be on a higher level to get the full effect out of this technique. He looked up and ran up the side of the wall, looking for a ledge to grab on. He found a ledge and immediately wall jumped to the next scaffold witch was higher than the one he was previously on. That was what he was aiming for. Viktor look down and saw that it was a long way down and a normal landing would put severe pressure on his ankles. He nodde to himself and jumped. As he was falling he saw a pole he could slide under. He would continue his run after his role. He landed, slanted a bit forward and rolled.
Viktor was up on his feet after his role, then he continued his run and saw a pole he could slid under. Viktor had to get this right and slid at the right moment otherwise his slid wouldn't continue for as long as he would like it too. He waited and slid 5 feet in front of the pole. He slid under it without out stopping and then got up to his feet. A slid can always be misjudged and Viktor wanted to see if he could do it for sure. He took a few large steps back and readied himself. He ran forward and slid 5 feet in front of the pole once again and went under it with the slightest of ease. He smiled at his progress and readied himself for the next move.
Viktor thought about what his next move was. The lazy vault, if he wasn't mistaking. Viktor decided he was going to use the pole he just slid under. He then, again, took many steps back, preparing for next move. He shook himself off, something he always does before the run. He started forward and picked his pace up to a jog. He then grabbed the pole with one hand and tursted his body over the pole. He did a 180 off the walll and head back towards the pole, this time coming around the other side. He once again vaulted over the pole. He smiled and looked towards his trainer. "Anything else? All that seemed kinda simple." He said with a smirk.

NPC: David Torres "All that was supposed to be simple, my friend. You are now a Novice, congrats." He walked over to an A/C duct and threw himself onto it within a sitting position. "First, I'd like to know what you'd like to learn. Whatever it is I'll most likely know it. If I do, I think it's obvious, I'll teach you it. Got it?" he asked him curiously.
{{Short posts, I know. Sorry!}}

Viktor thought for a second. "Hmm, Acrobatic moves seems to grab my interest. Know any of them?" He asked as he walked closer towards were the man was. "Seems like with our line of work, easy movement will benefit us greatly."

NPC: David Torres "The art of Running is all about easy movement, you seem to be forgetting," he said as he hopped off of the A/C duct. "Anyways, I do know quite a few of them. The very first thing you must learn is the Handstand. It's very simple." He threw himself forward and land on his hands. He held his body up in a Handstand and then let himself fall back onto his feet. "Simple. Now you try," he spoke with a grin.

Viktor chuckled. "Yea I guess I did forget haha." He said letting out a small laugh. He then processed to learn the handstand. He then jumped forward and landed on his hands. He focused so his lower body doesn't make him topple over to the ground. After standing on his hands for a few minutes he got down to his feet. "Anything else?" He asked.

NPC: David Torres "There's a few more things which I want to teach you. First is the Front Handspring." David took a sort of running start before he shot forward and hit a Front Handspring. It looked as if he was going into a Handstand but his feet suddenly came up and over his body. "Now the Round-Off and Back Handspring," he said as he turned around a took another running start. First he proceeded in the Round-Off. He place his hands on the ground as if to perform a Handstand or Front Handspring but he twisted 180 degrees and landed facing the way which he came. He didn't stop there for he used his remaining momentum to launched himself into a Back Handspring which looked like...the name says it all. "Then the Cartwheel." He began to let himself fall to the side but he put one hand down before hit the floor. Then his other hand touch down and soon enough he was standing back on his feet. "Last but not least, the Macaco." He sat down in a squatted position. He threw one arm up and over his head and then shot his other arm, and entire body, over soon after. This technique was highly similar to the Back Handspring. "Take a whack at those," he said as he wiped his hands on his pants.

Viktor nodded and he Witnessed the next few moves he would be learning. He thought to himself about how he should profrom the front hand spring. When he got his thoughts together, he took a running start and did a handstand. He swung his leg over his body and stung his body off the ground using his hands. Viktor thought he had nailed the move for a brief second by he didn't let his legs follow through with the movement, cutting his momentum short. Viktor fell to the ground hit his lower back against the floor. Viktor groaned in pain as he rolled to his side and then to his stomach. He got up holding his back. He was determine to get this move right. He then tried again, this time starting with a faster sprint. He skipped a step and threw his body forward, landing in a handspring stance and using his arm strength to spring his body up, this time he kicked his feet forward while he was doing a hand stand allowing him to keep his momentum and follow through with the move. Viktor landed on his feet and stumbled a bit. He smiled and satisfied that he had learned another move.
