[D1 LA - Walker's Gym] Sweat

[Craig Walker]

Walker chuckled "fightin is harder than most folks think. Here really watch what I'm doing." Walker dropped back into the same stance from before "most people think punching is about your arms but it ain't, punching is about your whole body and most importantly your legs." He pointed out parts of his legs and his hips. "Power for a punch starts with your legs, that's why you keep your legs bent."

Walker pivots his hips and pushes with his leg as his arm shoots forward and hits the bag with thunderous force. "Now being as you're more slight and less strong you'll eventually want to learn how to use your flexibility and agility to hit harder but first you'll need to nail down the basics and know how it all works. I'm happy to show you the ropes and folks like us pay basically just what I need to keep the lights on to use the gym. I got other people I'm training including a guy who looks like he might actually be able to make it to the UFC." He says jerking his thumb towards a well built black man in his early twenties sparing in the ring "but I'm always happy to teach a fellow Lost how to defend themselves." He says with a small smile.

Lily thought to herself for a moment, wondering if she wanted to connect herself to this gym (even as something as small as a member) that seemed full of other lost. She had been avoiding them for a while now, and if anything a few connections wouldn't hurt to start out. Plus she would get practice on how to defend herself. She had plenty of money from her shows, so she nodded.
"Yeah, I need to learn sometime and sooner the better I guess."
Lily stepped up to the bag, emulating Walker's stance to the best of her ability. It was much closer this time. She breathed in and then wack, Lily punched the bag. It wasn't strong, it wasn't perfect, but the bag moved as she used her body to make the punch, not just her arms. She tried not to seem too proud of such a little accomplishment but the smile on her face definitaly gave her away.

Walker smiles "Perfect, come back tomorrow if you have the time we'll keep it up. Talking optional, I'm not the smartest one around but I know some of our people have some stuff to work out. Literally and figuratively. I'll be here for a few more hours if you have questions but if you're signing up you got as much time as you want with the gym. Payments are due on the first try not to be too late on em."

Lily nods and turns back to the bag.

"Thanks for your help Walker, I'll be here for about another hour before heading out then"

See, not every changeling is bad. She thought to herself

Lily continues to work on her brawling skills

Walker nodded "No problem Lily." He said before turning back to the ring and shouting coaching tips at the guy in the ring.
