nine reconnections ➱ un: h. inaba
This is a pretty simple question that I'm putting out there, since I'd guess there would at least be one person who can help.
[She doesn't like asking for help, not in this place, not in these circumstances, but--]
Who here is familiar with self defense and would be willing to teach me? Naturally, I'd like to propose that it not be done for free, but terms can be discussed in private. I've been taught a little bit of karate from a friend, but she's not here, so I guess the question ends up going to everyone else here.
Although for those who'd rather do anything else besides the inquiry: I'll propose a small text-based game of twenty questions. But it's no fun without stakes, so let's put those on the table. I can deny games, stakes, and any offers at will. It's my post. But I'll leave that open for those who want to take it.

Not that she'll admit to that.]
If you're fine with it.
I'll admit that I'm not the most athletic person in the world, though.

it's about using physics to your advantage which i know will sound weird coming from someone who nearly failed mathematics but trust me on this
if someone grabs you from behind you can use momentum to flip them. stuff like that.
no subject
Just tell me where/when you want to meet. And if you want anything in exchange - although you don't have to tell me here.
no subject
but i dont need payment at all i promise. unless you know how to cook and then we can make it a fair trade?
no subject
My cooking skills are unfortunately basic at best. My skills more or less lie more on the technological side of things.

and worried, in general, but bored is best.]

Plus, I already know a man's weakness if it comes to that. I just need to keep my other options open.
Okay, ask the first question, then.

no subject
so i just ask any question ig? stripes or polka dots www
no subject
And well - twenty questions is usually a guessing game, so questions tend to be yes/no/maybe to guess that sort of thing.
Also neither.

[She keeps it short and sweet and opts to show up -- not in the normal uniform, but in what you'd basically wear for physical education. Shirt, sweatpants. It's easier to move in.]

Neither?? It's obvious that stripes would win first place in every situation!

Did you even visualize it at all?! Everyone's individual preferences may be different, but one can only benefit from recognizing the merits of stripes!
no subject
But I still have no idea what merit it even has.
no subject
I mean, if I had striped towels here as well, I would rejoice.
no subject
I'm pretty indifferent, really...
no subject
Hey. Uh... where to start... oh. I guess the first question is, if someone were to grab you from behind, what do you think you'd do first?
[So he can get a baseline of what needs to be taught here.]
no subject
That's a tricky question. It would depend on how they're trying to, but the answer is to be able to get into a position where you are facing them. In this particular case, an elbow jab to behind, a headbutt and an attempt to kick at the sensitive areas are fair game. And of course, you want to be able to get your line of sight behind you, without compromising your position to bring back the advantage. If you try looking back in a certain way after all, they might just punch you in the face, which is no good.
no subject
Perhaps you simply haven't come across the right combination.

Why, the perfect arrangement of stripe color, direction, and thickness to speak to your soul! You'll know it when you see it.
