Stacey worked on the punching bag that she had in her training room at the gym for a bit while she waited for her lesson for the day. Apparently a girl had decided she needed to be taught some basic self-defense moves. Stacey didn't blame her. Who knows what type of jerk guys were out there just bothering the poor girl. And besides, it was good for everyone to know a little bit, even if it was only to be able to react quickly enough and react in the right way. After all, fights were still pretty unpredictable, nothing like those coordinated fights one saw in the movies.

But that's why she was here. She considered herself to be someone who could help instill the basics of what to do so that when one was caught in the moment, they could at least react quickly and in a better way than they would without any training. There was always plenty of crime happening within the city, and if civilians had any hope of trying to get away from a Negaverse agent or simply a common robber, they would need some help on the basics.

Kaileen entered the gym and looked around. She had never been inside a gym before. Which was funny since her second oldest brother worked at one. She looked at all the machines and frowned. They many of them and different kinds. Their were like 5 different weights and trademills of different shapes and sizes. Were they all necessary?

Every time she thought of gyms the first thing that came to mind were dudes with huge shoulders and orange sprayed on tans screaming "bro" at each other.

She shooked her head and made her way to the back of the gym. She started to look into all the rooms she found there.

"This must be it."

Inside the room was a young looking girl hitting away at an punching bag.

She must be Kaileens instructor. Kaileen had signed up for self defense. Kaileen made a fist and looked at her hand. It was small, she didn't see how not only get small hands but small body could ever hit or hurt anyone. But she wanted to take some kind of self defense just in case. It would be goid to have some kind of training in that regards.

Kaileen cleared her thoart.

"Are you Stacy?"

Stacey was a bit startled when she suddenly heard a voice speak, and she turned around to see who was at the door. From the looks of the girl, this was Stacey's student right now, and Stacey blushed a bit at not realizing that the girl had been there. Yet another reason to have mirrors in here, but the gym wouldn't let her bring any in. Said people would break them. Sure, if they were stupid enough to fling a fist through them, but that's their fault. She had thought. Besides, the mirrors would be a good way to see what the trainee was doing incorrectly and how it could be fixed.

But no. Too dangerous. Stacey often thought that she shouldn't have to cater to that type of person. Unless she wanted to have to find another room, she would have to follow the gym's rules for the trainers that rented them.

She smiled a bit awkwardly at the girl, and held her hand out. "Yes! I'm Stacey! I'm assuming you're Kaileen! So sorry about that. I usually work my arms out while I'm waiting for clients. And I hope those are your clothes you're wanting to wear doing this. Not that gym clothes other than white sneakers matter around here. It's not as if you'll only have to defend yourself while you're only wearing your workout clothes!" Stacey didn't mind what they wore, as long as they learned something.

Kaileen smoothed down the front of her pants. She wasn't sure what to wear since she had never really been to a gym before. Before coming here she had went though her closet and didn't see any kind of gym attire. She had stopped at the nearest clothing store before coming here and picked up some sweat pants and a tank top.

"Yes its nice to meet you Stacy. Yes these are the clothes, I hope you don't mind. I am not too keen on what is appropriate to wear in the Gym."

Kaileen was kinda nervous. She hoped that she doesn't do anything to embarrass herself. All types of sceneries started playing in her mind. She looked at the punching bag. She didn't really have any kind of muscles. She hoped to slowly gain some kind of strength. She just hoped that if they did any kind of lessons on the punching bag that it doesn't swing back at her and knock her down. She saw YouTube videos involving things like that.

Stacey nodded. "Great! And those are perfectly fine! People work out in that stuff all the time. Though if you get too hot in the sweat pants, you can always get some 'gym' shorts or something instead." She replied, trying to let the girl relax a bit. She walked over to a bench that had a clipboard and mechanical pencil on it, and picked it up, walking back to the other girl again. "All right let's see... so it looks like you signed up for some self defense. Now I have to tell you that it might feel a bit weird what I'm teaching. I'm not exactly teaching you how to fight, as fights in the real world aren't as coordinated as you see in the movies or official sporting events like fencing, and more stuff that will help you to get away. That's what self-defense is all about. Defending yourself as much as possible so that you can get away safely and to safety."

Sometimes people dropped or would change what they wanted to learn from her after that. As much as she wished that fights were just like they were in the movies and such, it took years of practice to be able to react that well, and sometimes one couldn't even do that much. Self-defense for ordinary people though was getting them acclimated so that if the situation ever did come up, they wouldn't freeze like a deer in headlights. "Today I'm just going to give you some basic tips and go through some scenarios of when you can use those tips, all right? And then if you feel you need some more practice with those, we can do that more next class or for however long you feel that you need to. And then we can move on to some more advanced stuff like basic fighting techniques."

Kaileen nodded her head and listened to everything that Stacey had to say. Kaileen did have a couple of gym shorts but at the moment they were putted away in her closet alone with all her other summer clothes. It was too cold now for any of them for her to wear them.

"I will try my hardest. I have never taken classes like this before. I have zero fighting experience. I'm more of a lover than a fighter."

Kaileen didn't know what to expect or what is expected of her.

When she told her father about signing up for the classes he approved and was very happy. He probably felt better about his daughter being able to care for her self.
