Let the training begin...

Snake Eyes kicks the stuffed mannquin multiple times, finishing it with a roundhouse kick. He lands softly and stands up as he goes to wait for his temporary trainee who should be there anytime for training at the dojo.

He puts on his sunglasses and kneels in the middle of the mats, meditating with focus that only a master like him would have.

Claire's having second thoughts about this. Aikido classes are one thing, but this is pretty serious business.

Just the same, though, she jogs over to where Snake Eyes told her to meet him, wearing warm-up pants, red sneakers, and a tank top.

He stood up as Claire came in, tightening the belt on his Gi. The keypad translator the only modern item on him.

"Since I'm going to be giving you the crash course for learning to defend yourself with hand-to-hand combat, I figured I would teach you the basics of weapon disarming and to get the upperhand on someone even if they are bigger than you."

Grabs a combat knife out of his duffel bag.

This... is going to hurt. Claire's pretty sure of it.

She drops down to the floor and goes through her usual pre-workout stretching routine; she did it once already, but it's probably not a bad idea, given what's going on.

Then she stands up, pops her neck and back, and bounces a little.

Claire's had a few lessons in boxing and aikido; that much would be obvious to a NINJA MASTER like Snake.

"Ready."

The handle end of the knife is handed to Claire as he steps back about ten feet, getting into a lower stance.

He signals for her to come at him, this being the start of their lessons.
