[Sei's Apartment] Training & Practice

Sei heaved the training post through the threshold of his apartment, and closed the door behind him. He removed his shoes, and turned to his bedroom. He opened the dresser and removed a pair of gloves, and slipping them on he walked to the training post to stand it straight up. He took a deep breath, and tried a light punch at the post. He withdrew his hand after contact, and took it slow for a start. He didn't know exactly how much impact his boxing gloves would absorb, so he would hold back until he was sure. He threw a harder punch, and was happy to find that the gloves lessened the impact. He threw a light hook at the post, and tried a swing with his left. He continued to punch the little post, and grew to enjoy it a bit.

It wasn't all that bad. Of course, it could never compare to a real match at the Fighter Pit. It thrilled him to be able to train, but he couldn't wait to master a new technique. He punched a little harder on the post, but his arms were shaky, and even though it felt fast to him, he knew he wasn't hitting the post pretty fast. He threw a clumsy fist, and tried his best to make his punches straighter. The effort made his muscles tense, and he knew eventually his arms would get tired, so he instead let himself throw his lazy punches. He tried his best to at least jar the the training post, but the best he could do was sting his hands.

He used his left, then right, then left again. He repeated the process until he got a finer punch. He continued to punch the post, and started to feel the ache in his muscles. He kept his arms from lowering, and ignored the burn, forcing his arms to keep a rhythm. He relaxed his arms when he could no longer move them, and tried to roll his shoulders. He shook out his arms, and tried again. He punched the post with his left, threw another, and then switched to his right. He slammed his fist into the post, and tried a right hook. He managed to at least shake it a tiny pit, but he knew he would need more to budge the training post.

He tried a heavier swing, and only managed to, once again, sting his hands. He punched the post one last time before stopping to roll his shoulders. He sat crosslegged on the floor of his apartment, and drew in a deep breath. He decided to rest a bit, and removed his gloves. He pushed his thought to the back of his mind, and rested his arms in his lap. He took in at least ten deep breaths before slipping on his gloves and beginning to stand. He punched the post with a new resolve, and repeated the same process. He punched the post with his left, then his right.

He pushed further, and punched the post harder than before. He thought about using flux, but decided against it. Sei punched the post, and began circle around it, throwing the occasional punch. He was getting bored of throwing just punches at the post, and began to throw a light kick at the center. He gave the post a light knee, and punched the post a little harder. He circled the post, and tried to jab it. His moves were still clumsy, but they weren't as bad. He pushed the heel of his foot clumsily onto the training post, and gave the post a left hook.

He tried a roundhouse, and fell on his face. He pushed himself up, and startted his training again. He threw a punch with his left, kicked with his right, and threw another punch with his right. He was getting more and more excited with every hit, and regretted his earlier statement. It was fun even if he wasn't hitting a real opponent. He could feel a fresh coat of sweat roll down his neck, and he was pretty sure he was soaked in it. He continued to smach, punch, hit, whatever the post.

[Sei's Apartment] Training & Practice

Sei was coated in sweat, but he refused to waver in his movements. He made a wild swing at the post, and struck out with his leg. He was slowing a bit, only for the sake of conserving energy, and continued to make half-hearted strikes toward the post. He ducked low, and made a clumsy punch toward the lower half of the training post. He then switched to his left, using a hook. He surged upward, and drove his right fist into the post. He then withdrew and switched to his left.

Sei ducked to the left and punched with his right. He ducked to the right, and punched with his left. He kicked the heel of his foot onto the training post, and withdrew as quickly as he could. He circled the post, and sent a left hook toward the center while circling to the right. His moves were a little steadier, but not much, and even his speedier punches were clumsy. He threw a left hook, and tried to tighten his focus on the center of the post.

He stepped back to roll his shoulders, and tried to take up a good stance. He held his fists shoulder height, and made a slow practice punch. It was easier from there, but the biggest problem would be keeping the stance within a real fight. He circled to the left, the training post always a foot away, and used his left to throw a swift punch. He tired another roundhouse, and managed to stay on his feet. He was still sweating, but he continued to practice. He slowed the pace of his punches, and threw a punch with his left.

The Kelvic threw a another light swing with his left, and gave the training post a fierce kick. He then began to once again, circle the post. He made a right hook, and punched the center with his left. He tried his best to steady his arms, and make his punches swifter, but the effort seemed to make it worse. He was managing to get a little better, but he still had much to change if he was going to ever become an expert. He made a high swing with his left.

He planted the sole of his foot on the center of the post, and winced as he heard the smack and felt the sting. He hammered his fists into the post repeatedly, enjoying the feel of release as each fist flew. He enjoyed training, and loved when he improved. He stopped when his breathing became ragged, and waited for it to even out. He could feel the cold sweat that coated his skin, and lifted his fists shoulder length. He was ready to keep going.
