"God damn, woman." He mutters incredulously, looking at Chasey, before looking at Hina. "I don't suppose you have any videos on combat?"

"Yes, but I also meant if you had any videos of professional fights from the Old World." He says, grinning crookedly at her.
"I have some old videos from world war 1 and world war 2. I have some boxing fights as well... jsut small clips here and there." She turns her head and projects Chasey's fight with a muscular mutant. He has pale orange skin, well toned muscles, spider legs growing out his back, four eyes and a scorpion tail. They agree to fight fists only and the two go at each other.
There is nothing graceful about this fight. It is power versus power, grit against grit. They trade blows and as the fracas goes on Kai notices that the guards punches don't seem to bother Chasey all that much.... she is doing something to ease the impact. Eventually she lets fly a wicked hay maker and floors the guard with a satisfying thud.

He watches the fight with mounting interest, and when the video ends, he immediately turns to Chasey. "What were you doing there?" He asks, knowing that she knows what he's talking about.
She sticks her tongue out "It's called bracing. A little trick I picked up over time but only works in fist fights." She tucks her knees inward and holds her arms up in front of her face while her abs tighten.
"I was impressed by this as well... in that stance, the only clear shot is to her stomach... which she is expecting you to do and her tightened posture will dampen the blow."

"Yea I could... not sure if I will... and it doesn't always work either. You have to hope your opponent takes the bait. If they go for a leg sweep you have to drop it to dodge... or if you are really steady, you can take the kick without falling, but that is damn hard."
"Well... What if we just had a sparring fight? We'd... Need something to soften the blows, though..." He murmurs, rubbing his chin.

He walks over to Hina and hugs her before kissing her cheek. Then, he leans back and grins. "Welcome to the world of insane people, my love. The signs all point to the wrong places!" He says, laughing and running off to join Chasey.
"Inwards? Like this?" He murmurs, turning his knees towards each other. "This feels weird. And highly unsteady..."
She walks over and scoots his legs a bit further apart. "No, like that! What does this do exactly? Well look at this... if I tried for a cheap shot at your groin, your knees would block it, so I have one less option of attack now. If I got for a leg sweep, you are already poised to jump, all you have to do is adjust your legs!"
"Oh. Okay. This makes more sense. Bending the knees outwards, and then... Yeah. I get it now." He murmurs.
"Exactly! Next would be the neck and face. Which is why you bring your arms up and in front of your face with about four inches between them. If they go for a straight, bring your arms together for a block. Either side you just shift your arms to block that too. your neck and face are now off limits. So in this stance, the unthinking fighter sees your exposed stomach and goes for that... but that is what you want, you are expecting this and as such, can plan for it!"
