Squash your enemies! Lettuce experience victory together! Olive the smell of Kung Fu in the morning!

Who: Jon Talbain and Martial Arts students
What: Martial Arts Class.
Where: The Stadium.
When: Monday Afternoon.
Warnings: Violence, a violent movie clip, terrible wasting of food and even worse puns.


Today's class was in the Stadium. This time, though, students are directed to take a seat and the Stadium's awesome Holotech is used to display a clip from a film.

Students might also notice that there's a whole pile of vegetables arranged by type down on the stadium floor.

"The movie you've just watched, while obviously meticulously choreographed, tells us a few things. First of all, that size, gender and appearance should never be your guides when sizing up an opponent. Because believe me - skill will win out any day of the week when applied correctly. Especially against someone who values their honor so little, they would attack someone with their back turned."

Jon placed his hands behind his own back and walked down to the stadium floor, picking up a pumpkin and spinning it on his claw as though it was a basketball.

"The other thing I wish you to learn, is that should you need a weapon? You will never be short of one if you remember this rule: Almost anything can be a weapon. The food fight in the movie was quite amusing, but if someone hurls a zucchini at you with enough force, it's certainly going to leave a mark. If they hurl it at you with force AND precision, where that mark lands is entirely up to them, and I've a feeling few of you want that.

"We've covered using your environment as a tool. Today, we're going to cover learning how to make tools out of the things you have at hand. Ten minutes of drills, then pair off with a sparring partner of a similar ability level. As is usual, if you can not find a partner, I will pair you with someone. If you still can not find a partner, you will spar with me."

He placed the pumpkin back.

"And before you leave, come and see me for your written assessment. This is 30% of your final assessment grade, which makes up 50% of your grade for the year. I am giving you ample time to complete it and it IS an open book test. Having said that, do not plagiarize, because I will find out and you will be very, very sorry when I catch you. The assignment will be handed in during our last class. I expect a thoughtful, articulate and well considered set of answers from all of you."

Jon why are you mostly looking at Hagakure when you say this. Why is that.

"Begin!"

Vinnie was pretty open to being paired with anyone - if it was a challenge, even better. As far as the vegetable weapon-crafting component of this class went, probably a lot of people's first choice might've been the heavy, blunt impact gourds. But the Venusaur was going straight for a sharpened carrot and an extremely squishy, over-ripe tomato.

Grass Types had to be versatile, and making the most of his surroundings was something he had a fair bit of experience in.

"And here I thought you'd be going for the cucumbers. Are you sure you don't prefer this?" came Acacia's voice as she approached him with a rather long, sizable, and slender cucumber in hand. The moment she had spotted him in the crowd, she couldn't help but keep an eye on him and choose this opportune moment to poke fun at him.

Vinnie just kind of stared incredulously, the innuendo sailing straight over his head and into space.

"What? No, that thing looks like it'd snap in half if I hit it," he said. "I want something I can use more than once."

She snickered. Typical. So serious sometimes.

It was cute really.

"More than once huh? You do have a point there," she said amused as she looked at her cucumber, snapped it in half and bit into it a way that was... well, less than innocent.

"So what do you prefer, Flower boy?"

When it came time to pick partners, Kumatora played eenie meenie miney moe and Vinnie was the lucky(?) winner.

"Hey, you. Fight me."
flowerofmtsilver: (serious)

Flaming broccoli. Just his luck. Thankfully, Vinnie wasn't a Grass Type that shied away from fighting fire.

"Al'right, but if you're usin' fire, I get to use my whips." That was only fair, right?
kumagypsy: (Heh)

"Oooh, naughty," Kumatora scoffed, and pointed one of the flaming stalks in Vinnie's general direction. "All right, come at me, bro."
