trans_channel | ATTENTION NEWBIES 8D

My name is Kang. We've got a lot of new people on board; by now, you've probably learned about the Ohm, and I'd bet steel that several of you would like to learn some fighting skills or practice/expand on what you already know.

Ronon Dex and I teach a Warfare Training class. It is completely optional, but be warned that it is not easy. Just ask any of our current students. Our schedule is Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1600 to 1800, and mostly optional on Saturdays from 0900 to 1200. We'll let you know which Saturdays are required at least a day ahead.

We cover hand-to-hand, various melee weapons such as knives and swords, firearms, strategy and tactics, and we offer private lessons for those interested; anyone that wishes to learn axe, contact me. We will also cover how to face off against a multitude of nonhuman foes.

The lessons are held in the Drunken Dragon Tavern on most days; we'll inform you in advance if there is a change.

[OOC: We put up a post every two weeks so that anyone that wants to tag in can. It isn't a requirement, and we also add notes of what's been covered and what will be covered so that everyone is on the same page. The next one will be up on the 7th. :D]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Practice? Yes. Yes, I'd be very interested in this, thank you for the information! I'll do my best to be there.

If we already have skills in these levels, is it possible just to come watch? I'd like to view before I decide anything more.

It is, ma'am. May I ask what your skills are?

Firearms. Specifically, a trained sniper in the military.

I'll have to check with Ronon, but I don't believe we were going to be covering that particular specialty. Would you be interested in stepping in for a session or two to cover sniping?

They're different from what I know, too, but it's what most people here are familiar with.

How vastly different would you expect non-human targets to be?

Different fighting styles and different weak points. I'm not human myself, and I've fought with and against a variety of nonhuman races over the years.

I'm properly trained in all of those other areas. Additionally, I can offer an extra hand in training if response to the offer is high.

But for nonhuman combat, I'd be interested in learning.

Beginners only, or are you cool with people who're already good at some of it but could use a little work on the rest?

All skill levels are welcome.

Oh, awesome. Because firearms are easy, but my melee's not so hot. Especially without Zero here to beat it into me.

I'm not so foolish as to think I can't stand to keep in shape. ~~Getting my face punched repeatedly by Amuro is enough to remind me I need to do that~~. I don't know about learning, but I could certainly use the workout.

axe, huh?

Battle-axe, to be precise.

kick ass. i got two fire axes around here... somewhere.

I've been giving it some thought. I might have to look into private lessons, due to the fact that I do battle in several different shapes. It changes depending on the situation I'm in. Hawk is my base form, but I have several other alien forms and my human form.

Polymorphing? Useful.

I'm fairly certain I'm going to stop by the next session. I have some combat training, but I've a feeling that I'm going to be facing things there that even I've never encountered. It could be quite helpful.

We plan on utilizing the sensoriums in the near future. There's quite a few races and creatures from my home that I doubt most people on this ship have ever faced, and others are free to introduce creatures from theirs.

Is it possible to watch for a lesson or two?

Yes, it is.
