Vyx's First Lesson

[14:40] Nicci Sularen Ordo approached the Nautolan in the battle circle, no longer wearing her armor as she had been when they met. She still bore the skulls, and similar fur mantlepiece that had been over her shoulders on her armor, and most of the same weaponry, which she began removing in tossing into the dirt. "We will practice hand to hand combat today, Evaar'tal. Hand to hand is the basics of the basics, and you must always work up from the basics before you advance to weaponry. Approach me. Have you ever been in a fight before?" she asked.

[14:43] Vyx Aliz had been standing in the Sun for quite a while. Hours actually. And the glaring sunlight was not putting her in a great mood. Before she had spoken, Vyx wouldn't have guess the woman before her wasthe Ordo Alor. Not until she moved closer and saw the same skulls and lightsabers. Shading her black eyes from the sun she'd stare at Nicci. "Only tussles with the other children on Glee Anselm. That's in the water though...And...well we were children, and not trained like Mandalorions train theirs."

[14:47] Nicci Sularen Ordo nodded, her mouth in a half smile, "The water can make one very strong and graceful for fighting, though on land your body operates differently, so one must relearn all over again. The most important part of an unarmed battle is your stance." she began, dropping into a fighting stance, with her feet spread shoulder width apart and her fists raised to shield her face, "Like this. Also, clench your teeth while fighting. If you get punched in the jaw they are less likely to break it if your teeth are clenched." she said. then paused, waiting for Vyx to mimic her.

[14:52] Vyx Aliz spread her own feet shoulder length apart, rising her fists even with her cheek bones. Clenching her teeth, her face kind of fell into a snarl, making her look like a true deep sea monster. Instinctively she rocked from one foot to the other, as though at any moment she might leap back from her Alor.

[14:59] Nicci Sularen Ordo chuckled. "I like that war-face. Even without our skin a Mandalorian must strike terror into their opponent. Now for punching. You must punch with all your upper body weight, your feet rooted into the ground. Your arm is held at a 40 degree angle and then extended and straightened until your fist is facing downward. Simulate a punch into the air in front of me." she said. [15:03] Vyx Aliz flashed Nicci a quick grin before dropping back a little to her back leg. In a quick moment she came up and forward, her fist slicing through the air, torquing her hip at the same time, to put all her weight into the punch. "It's less the singular actions I cannot do, and more putting them all together into active combat." She would say, looking back up at Nicci.

[15:07] Nicci Sularen Ordo raised a finger, "But it is the singular actions which are most important. When you have just been struck it is easy to allow your rage to completely take over, throwing out mindless strike after strike with no technique or skill given any thought in your succumbing to primal instinct. Knowing and remembering these singular actions and COMBINING them with your rage is what will make you a powerful warrior. This is why sometimes punching a bag for several hours to work on technique and footwork is beneficial. You however, do not have that luxary right now, because I need to know what your mistakes are in order to train you," she grinned, "So fight me," she said, and then rather unexpectedly, through a powerful punch, aiming for the Nautolan's jaw. "Lesson one, did you remember to clench your teeth?"

[15:15] Vyx Aliz's dark eye's widened even more at Nicci's sudden movement. The punch caught her fully off guard and she was unable to block the hit at all, taking the full punch straight to the jaw and flying back a few feet. She looked up Nicci, feeling her face already start to swell, and snarled, leaping up to her feet. Quickly, closing the distance between them she would fake a left jab before bringing her right leg up for a roundhouse kick to Nicci's ribs, her hopes being to go for a vulnerable spot and fake her Alor out.

[15:19] Nicci Sularen Ordo smirked as she caught the girl's foot, "Now now, no one ever said anything about kicking.  Had that landed in my ribs you would have hit where the Mand'alor stabbed be the other day, and I would have ripped you apart.  Are you trying to commit suicide your first day of training?" she smirked, and while still holding her ankle she thrust out her right leg and slammed it into the Nautolan's left shin, attempting to take her off her feet.

[16:01] Vyx Aliz was barely able to register the movement as Nicci knocked her off her feet and she slammed into the ground hard. She snarled out "Yea, but you never said anything about not kicking either," through the sharp pain in her shin. Rolling back from Nicci she pushed herself to her feet before coming in again, faking a left jab and following it with a right upper cut, torquing her hip to put all her weight behind the punch.

[16:10] Nicci Sularen Ordo chuckled as she caught her by the wrist, angling her head away from the uppercut. "Very well, if you wish to jump steps and go all out, I will do so." she replied with a shrug before she brought her opposing elbow down hard on the joint of the Nautolan's arm she held, an attempt that would sever it or at the very least break the bone if successful.

[16:18] Vyx Aliz's vision turned black at the edges as she heard the snap of her dominant arm's bone. But she wouldn't cry out. Her face scrunched into a wild snarl as she held the arm close to her body. Moving close, she would drop down, sending a left hook into Nicci's ribs before grabbing her by the shoulder and attempting to slam her left knee into her ribs twice.

[16:21] A'denla Kad (unlivedphalanx.mcmahon) had been browsing the marketplace for various steaks and meat, one of the preferred activities of the Mandalore, for under his reign meat merchants would flourish. His Vanguard was not with him, no one would be foolish enough to be hostile within their own world. Hearing a struggle nearby drew him toward the Battle Circle and appearing as a spectator to the fight. [16:28] Nicci Sularen Ordo once again thought the girl might have had a death wish, trying to attack her ribs while they were still injured. Lucky for her she was a better fighter, and it never hit, and luckier still for her they were in the battle circle, where killing was not allowed. She still had every intent on teaching her discipline, even if that meant breaking her for jumping ahead with what she was teaching. Right as the Nautolan threw the left hook she would duck under it, slamming into the girl's torso and lifting her with her strong arms, attempting to slam her backwards into the dirt, back first.

[16:34] Vyx Aliz snarled, baring her teeth as her punch missed, but that was soon forgotten as she was lifted in the air and slammed down in an instant, knocking the breath from her. Her chest heaved as she attempted to remember how to breathe air once more, but feeling as though she was pulling nothing in. After a moment found her breath and as able to focus on her Alor once more. With a low growl she would wrap her legs around Nicci's waist, attempting to dig her knees into her ribs and attempting to land several punches into her jaw.

[16:50] Nicci Sularen Ordo was clocked in the jaw, not expecting her to be able to move after that, before she unhooked herself from the girl's body and lifted her wrists to block the rest of her punches.  She took this opportunity to ram her elbow into the girl's face, since it was at such close proximity, attempting to knock her cold for actually managing to hit her.

[16:56] Vyx Aliz had managed to land a single hit, and in her inexperience and her pride had been fully unprotected from the elbow to the face she then experienced. Unable to block it or move away at that distance she took the full force straight to the face. Vyx looked up at Nicci with black around the edges of her vision she felt herself lose consciousness. Right before passing out completely, her eyes landed on Mand'alor. And then she was out.

[17:07] Vyx Aliz was jolted back to by the sharp kick in the hip. For a moment she forgot about her arm and immediately regretted it as the pain shot through her arm. Using her left arm to lift herself her eyes fluttered from her Alor to Mand'alor, before she pushed herself to her feet, scowl frozen on her face. [17:07] A'denla Kad (unlivedphalanx.mcmahon) remained still, like a statue, visor staring in their general direction, but eyes changing between the combatants." his hand withdrew from behind his waist and came toward his visor, stroking it as if it were a beard, "Stubborn." he growled, "A promising characteristic. Providing she survives." [17:10] Grave: Climbs up the many steps to the market area only to notice the battle circle is being repainted with blood " Oh yay, people are killing each other , what it for this time?"

[17:12] Nicci Sularen Ordo smirked, picking up her weapons and strapping them back on. A small Nexu lazily walked right into the battle circle and leaped onto her shoulder. An act which she did not even acknowledge. "Just because YOU are stubborn does not make that a promising characteristic," she growled, an act which caused the hair on the Nexu's back which raised briefly. "Di'kut...there is no death in the battle circle," she replied, this time directed at grave, before she returned her attention to her Evaar'tal, "Go to Medical and get patched up. You are doing it all over again tomorrow." she said.

[17:15] Vyx Aliz let her eyes drift over the new comer before nodding to her Alor. She'd grunt once in acknowledgement before limping away, hoping not to get lost as she had earlier that day.
