Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
Abased opened his mouth, and then shut it. Probably thinking against arguing with her. Smart idea bailey though. She, when she knew she was right, would not stop arguing till the other person accepted that she was right. Being stubborn was defiantly one of her worst traits- thankfully, she had gotten better at controlling it.
Then Kayla entered, and Bailey went to talk to her.
After she finished talking to Kayla, Bailey walked back over to her bag, and her spare bag of gear, to finish stretching. Dropping into the splits, Bailey looked up when she heard Abaeze ask if she wanted to spar. It took a moment to realize that Abaeze, a complete beginner, wanted to spar her, someone with about nine years of experience.
Bailey smiled, and said “Why not. But… you’re going to have to put this gear on.” Bailey stood up, and handed him her spare bag of gear.
“Watch me as I put it so, so you put it on right. And I’ll double check it before we start- I can’t have anyone getting injured, or the staff and prefects will have my hide and I’ll have to close the club. And I’ll go easy on you- also… there are some rules you should know.”
Explaining the rules as she showed Abaeze how to put the gear on, Bailey smiled. She loved teaching people how to spar, and maybe when @Kim Sato got there, she could show how experts spar. Bailey knew Kim was about the same ability level, maybe a little below her, but just to show off.. she couldn’t resist.
Standing in the middle of the room, Bailey stood at attention, in all of her gear. Her wand was in her bag, and she told Abaeze to leave his over there too, so that it didn’t get snapped into he fight. She stood there, waiting for him.

Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
Abaeze looked at the padding and helmets dubiously, sliding into the vest without argument. He'd left his wand back in the dorms, not finding much use for it aside from completing his homework. Even the homework itself was of dubious quality. He hadn't been able to wrap his brain around how in the world magic worked yet, and the wand seemed to know it.
Once the talking bit was over and done with, and Abaeze had successfully tucked his locs under the helmet, the two kids moved to the center of the room. He wasn't nervous, but perhaps he should have been. She looked fast, and the slightly cocky look plastered across her face was throwing him off the tiniest bit.
Abaeze twisted around, trying to get a sense for how the vest obstructed his movements. It wasn't horrible. He could still throw some force behind his punches, and it barely weighed anything. The tag on it was scraping against the back of his neck.
He waited, about three meters away from Bailey, hands slightly raised to ward his face. This felt wrong. Standing in the middle of an open room, without a crowd of other rabid kids to cheer or holler. It felt wrong to throw the first punch, when she hadn't done anything to provoke him. And it felt wrong to wear the vest.
'Ladies first?'

ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | A few days after Spin the Bottle... Yes, another Spin the Bottle game. As if he hadn't had enough of that game over the summer. Twice, that is. Once during the summer and once upon coming back to Hogwarts, courtesy of Ali's little game and Haley's interference. Anyway, the day after Ali's Spin the Bottle game, Kim was in a rather awkward state of mind again. Probably because of what had happened during the game and the fact that it had brought up old memories too. Of Rabbit. A sigh escaped his lips and he shook his head. After having eaten dinner inside the Great Hall, Kim had made his way back to his room to feed Puffie. Along the way, he'd gotten sidetracked in his thoughts about Rabbit. Thankfully, he hadn't run into Ali, who happened to be his roommate this year. Or else, he'd have probably gotten caught up with him for a time. As it was, after having fed Puffie and tried to avoid Ali, Kim was a few minutes late for the first meeting of the Martial Artist Club of his second year. But it wasn't too bad, he was sure it would be fine. Upon reaching the room, he opened it to reveal only two people inside. One of whom was Bailey Glade. Miss Sunshine herself was there of course. And a new person, whose face he didn't recognize. Oh, lovely a new member! The advertising had worked! Kim was pleased and hoped his own clubs would also benefit in a similar fashion later that year when he held them. He was currently dressed in a white outfit, similar in style to a martial arts outfit but not exactly the same. It was loose-fitting, so movement wouldn't be hampered, and resembled a dobok. Dobok is the uniform worn by practitioners of Korean martial arts, such as taekwondo. Do means "way" and bok means "clothing." The dobok is related to the Japanese keikogi/dōgi, used in Japanese martial arts, such as judo. It was then that he saw there was someone else in the room. She'd been hidden behind the boy and when he'd entered he hadn't been able to see her. Kim didn't recognize her either. Two new members? How awesome was that?! "Thank you for joining our club, you two." He said to them and inclined his head to both. "Kim Aoki. I'm the co-leader of the club. You two are?" The white haired boy asked as he waited for their names. As he'd come in after the boy and girl who were inside, he'd missed both their introductions. It seemed as if Bailey and the boy had been in the midst of sparring when he'd entered. In that case, perhaps he and the girl would be able to partner up. She looked a little bit familiar. He didn't realize as of yet that she was in the same club as him, the Animal Lovers Club. "It looks as though Bailey and the boy over there were sparring before I came in. Would you like to spar with me? I could teach you some moves if you don't know any." Kim said to the girl before him. ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────
actions: Kim arrives at the MAC meeting, a little late and greets Bailey, Abaeze & Kayla. notes: From now on, Kim will refer to himself as Kim Aoki and won't answer to those who call him 'Sato'. Of course, if they don't know about his new last name, he'll give them a chance by telling them about the change first. If your character specifically only calls people by their last names, please call him Aoki. ------------------------------ tags: @Bailey Glade, @Abaeze Kellan, @Alec Mason, @Haley Rose, @Felix Jeong word count 494 coded by draven mirador |

Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
Kayla smiled brightly as Bailey greeted her, before she went back to talking to the boy who was already here. Then someone else arrived, another guy. She knew him from Lily's club, the Sam club she knew Bailey from, she wondered how many more members from that club would arrive.
"Thanks for letting me join! This seems cool," Kayla said, gesturing around the room. "I've never been to this room but sometimes its tempting to come in, you know, the sound of the music playing through the door..." onky then Kayla realised she was rambling.
"Sorry," She apologised sheepishly. "I didn't mean to ramble. I'm Kayla, by the way."
Kayla looked over at Bailey and the other boy, she didn't know his name, they seemed to be...fighting?
When Kim had asked if she wanted to spar with him, she took a second to realise what he was saying.
"Spar...?" She muttered under her breath. Then it hit her. "OH! Ok, sure! Why not? I don't know anything though, I'm kind of a newbie. Nevermind I am a newbie."
Kayla sounded kind of apologetic. Fighting- sorry, sparring- seemed interesting, fun almost, but she didn't want to get hurt, or, for that matter, hurt anyone. As if she could hurt anyone. Not on purpose, anyway.

Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
Waiving to Kim when he walked in, and introduced himself to the new members.
Calling over to Kim “There are some spare pads for practicing kicks and such in my gear bag!
Sorry I would get them out but Abaeze asked if I wanted to spar and who am I to say no- I promise I’ll be nice! Maybe we can spar when Abaeze and I are done! That would be fun!”
As bailey said all of this she bounced on her feet, moving where where was keeping most of her wait, foot to foot.
When Abaeze said “Ladies first” Bailey smirked and spun, doing a reverse hook kick that caught Abaeze in the head. Despite being several inches taller, Bailey was able to catch his head. She made sure not to hit too hard, as she returned her foot to the ground.
“Typically we trade off combinations of three or four moves. I’ll set my watch for… a minute, maybe a minute in a half. Does that work?”
This came out a little muffled due to the mouthpiece she was wearing. Bailey hated the feeling of biting her tongue- she had but it while sparing before, and it hurt!
“Also sparing like this is light contact, focusing more on speed. Don’t worry, you’re not going to hurt me, I’m quite fast.”
Here bailey wasn’t bragging, it was just the truth. With 9 years of experience, no newbie could catch her by surprise. Her reflexes were above and beyond anyone beside maybe Kim, in the castle.
Starting the timer, she traded blows and combinations with Abaeze. She let him hit her a few times, let him land a few punches in the stomach. She did some fancy tricks and kicks, but avoided taking his head off.
When her watch beeped that the end of the match was over, Bailey pulled off her head gear and smiled.
“Great job! If you want, you can take off the gear, I know how uncomfortable it is. You can go talk to Kayla or you can do some drills with Kim. Your choice- I am going to take my gear off and prep one of the drills that I have planned!”

The first blow had Abaeze reeling. Not because she'd packed any strength in it, because she hadn't. He'd simply never seen anyone lift their foot that high. He wasn't entirely sure it was humanely possible, yet there she was, having nearly flown off the ground.
The rest of the fight went much the same way. Her moving too fast for the eye to follow, bringing her elbows and knees in places he hadn't even thought to guard. He was less technique and more slamming the other guy into the nearest wall, and she was all technique and no bite. It felt like he'd walked into a test unprepared and failed miserably.
By the end of the match, he was sweating. The gear had gone from a mild annoyance to a major one about halfway through, and it felt like bliss to rip the helmet off. He was breathing much harder than he should have.
'You're good,' he said, ignoring the wounded pride which was demanding attention. Very good. Giving her a nod, Abaeze shimmied out of the vest and placed it back in the pile of gear.
There was no way he was doing that again.
Raising his hand in a half salute half wave, the boy headed towards the exit. He needed some food after all that.

Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
After her first kick went over his head, Abaeze seemed to reel back a tad. Probably because he didn’t realize exactly HOW talented she was. Bailey was used to people underestimating her, partially because she was female and partly because of how young she was.
Smiling a little, she grinned and said “Feel free to hit back, I promise I don’t bite too much!” With a little laugh, Bailey bounced on her toes, waiting for Abaeze to attack. She easily dodged his blows, but let him land a few, so he would feel accomplished.
Pulling her gear off, Bailey smiled when Abaeze said “you’re good”
She blushed a little and said “Well, almost 10 years of experience is bound to pay off sometime. I can see you have some raw talent though- with a little training you’ll be great!”
Waiving as he walked out, Bailey then walked over to Kim and Kayla, after taking a drink of water and wiping her face- she was a little sweaty, but that’s human.
They looked like they were mid conversation, maybe debating sparring, but bailey had other ideas.
“Do y’all want to do some drills? Something to work on coordination, or maybe power or accuracy? Or Kayla, Kim and I could spar to show you what you will be able to do with some training? Or you can spar one of us? No pressure though- I didn’t spar for the first like two years of my training.”
Waiting for a response, Bailey stood there, her hands clasped behind her.

Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
Her first club meeting! Daphne was elated, she couldn't wait to meet new friends and become more social at Hogwarts. In all honesty, she was a beginner at the Martial Arts and somewhat of a pacifist-however, she understood that it would be needed for defense. She took in a deep breath as she walked in, wearing a red hanfu that her older brother had passed down to her. It was made out of rich fabric, imported all the way from China. Daphne remembered when her mother had gotten Ryuu it, he spent hours just posing in front of a mirror. He had dabbled in the Martial Arts himself, but found no more time for them, which was why he had given her the outfit. It was somewhat big on her so she used a pin to tie the back, holding it up.
Daphne observed as her fellow clubmates sparred, watching in awe. She remained quiet though, her shyness getting the best of her. Daphne was particularly interested in learning Karate, Kung Fu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which would naturally take her more than a while to ace. She believed in herself though, and knew that physical defense was just as important as magical ones!

ㅤ──────────────────────| ── | As Kayla spoke again, Kim blinked. Wait, he knew her! She was from the Animal Lovers Club, right? Her name was... Kayla! Kim shook his head. He felt bad not recognizing her right off the bat, especially since she was in one of the same clubs as him. "You're Kayla, right?" Kim asked, just to make sure. "We're in the Animal Lovers Club together." That was when Kayla confirmed who she was and Kim nodded. "Kim. If you didn't remember." He added and let his blue eyes flicker over Kayla. "So what made you join the club? Did you get lured in by the beautiful poster Bailey made?" Kim asked with a smirk. Something had to have changed for her to take the next step and join them, right? When Kayla expressed confusion at the word 'spar' Kim realized she knew nothing about martial arts. Ah, a newbie. A complete newbie. "Don't worry about it! We can take things slow or fast, depending on what your preference is." Kim reassured her and thought for a few seconds. "Maybe we'll start by teaching you basic moves and do some work with pads before you try out sparring. Does that sound good to you?" He asked and pointed towards an open area. "Let's go over there." Kim instructed and headed over to the free space. "But first, the most important thing is to learn how to stretch." "If you don't stretch right you'll pull a muscle or something and won't be able to do much." "Not until the muscle pull goes away that is." Kim informed her and gestured for her to take a seat on the mat on the floor. "Let's start with some basic stretches, I'm sure you've heard or seen them before. Or already know them. Leg stretches and then arm stretches." He waited for Kayla to let him know whether she knew how to do them or not and went through the process of stretching himself. After all, Kim also needed to stretch since he'd just arrived too. He nodded when Bailey told him there were some spare kickpads in her gear bag. "We're gonna do some stretches first and then I'll get them." Kim called back. As he stretched, Bailey and Abaeze's sparring match ended and the latter decided to leave. Well, that was fast. Maybe he'd come back later. Or perhaps it had been too hard on him? Whatever the case was, they'd find out later on. Kim returned his attention to his stretches and as Bailey came over to them, he looked up at her. She spoke of possibly doing some drills instead of sparring or sparring with one of them. The former would probably be best for now for the girl, in Kim's own opinion. From what she'd said, she was a newbie. Sparring might be too much for her first introduction of martial arts. There would be time for that later on. Like Bailey said, she didn't need to learn how to spar right off the bat. "I think some drills would be best, Kayla isn't very familiar with martial arts yet." It was then that the door opened again and another unfamiliar face showed up at the rehearsal room. The girl was dressed in a red hanfu, a rich material that he recognized as being from China. Some of his cousins tended to wear them all the time when doing martial arts. Kim idly wondered if she was Chinese or had some relatives or family members who were. He raised a hand and waved. "You should welcome our newest member, Bailey! I'd do it but I'm a bit occupied at the moment." Kim said with a faint twitch of his lips. He was on the floor and stretching with Kayla and it would be a little awkward to get up mid-stretch and go to welcome someone. Especially since he was already taking care of Kayla right now. On the other hand, Bailey was free at the moment, so it would make more sense if she went to welcome their newest member! Since Abaeze had left, they had been left with an odd number. But they now had a new arrival! Which meant it was even again! Perfect. Bailey could take care of the new girl and Kim could take care of Kayla. Then they could switch! ────────────────────── ㅤ ㅤ──────────────────────

Another Meeting of the Martial Arts Club
Kim called back when she told him about the spare kick pads in her bag, saying that they’d get them after they were done stretching. Bailey was going to join them, but decided to offer options to Kayla, as for what she wanted to do.
Waiting for a response from Kayla and Kim, Bailey heard someone approaching. Turning, she saw someone, a girl, probably a first year, dressed in a red hanfu. It look authentic, and maybe had been imported from China.
Kim said drills would be a good place to start, and Bailey nodded already heading to introduce herself and welcome the other girl. He said that she should welcomed their newest member, and she turned her head to smirk at him, saying sarcastically over her shoulder “On it boss”. This was sarcastic because Bailey was the President of the club, and Kim was her Vice President - so in this club she was the Boss.
Walking up the girl, Bailey bowed and stuck out it her hand for the girl to shake if she so chose. “Hello! Welcome to the Martial Artists Club! My name is Bailey- Bailey Glade, third year Ravenclaw and third degree black belt! And you are?”
Smiling welcoming, Bailey hoped the girl would introduce herself, and let Bailey know what Martial Arts training she had had- Bailey hated to pry but would if she needed to.
