Kalitta decided to forgo the standard Klingon outfit that she wears while off duty, for a more comfortable white cotton outfit that allows for greater movement. She picked up her bat’leth that was hanging on her wall and walked down the corridor greeting her fellow crew members as she made her way down to the recreation room. Once there she set up the padded mats.

Once the mats were down Kalitta began her stretching routine while waiting for the others to arrive.

Oscar stooped into the training room. He saw Kalitta stretching out on the mats, He walked over to a spare mat and slowly began stretching himself.
“Commander. I decided to take you up on the training session. Where do you want me?”

Kalitta smiled, her yellowish sharpened teeth showing proversly. “Pick a spot anywhere on the mats, we will continue stretching for another ten minutes or so and then we will get on with the lesson.”

Myrok entered he saw the opponents and smirked” May I join you?”

“Come, Ensign, pick a spot and start stretching out. We will get on with the lesson shortly. We are just waiting to see if others will be joining us.”

Kalitta then started to move her hands slowly in front of her, making an ‘X’ All the movements she made were slow, deliberate, and fluid.

Kalitta stood up straight. “We have waited long enough. Have either of you had previous Martial Arts training?” She looked between her two students waiting for an answer.

“The difference between Mok’bara and many other Martial art forms is that it doesn’t rely on strength or brute force.” She then spread her feet apart shoulder distance apart and put her arms out in front of her slightly bent at the elbows. She then slowly moved her arms up and down from shoulder height down to hip level then back up. All the while being slow, fluidic and deliberate. “The closest martial art I have found to Mok’bara is the humans Tiachi.” She then turned to her students. “Now you try it.”

OOC: If you want to know what’s coming up in the lesson watch this Taichi clip. In my research on Mok’bara is mentioned a lot to be like Taichi so we will be following those lessons first. then we will move on to the batleth training.

Myrok did his own type stretch. He then turned to Kalitta and said “let’s see what you got”

Hill was tempted to be cliche but decided against cracking his knuckles and neck. Instead he mimicked Kalitta’s movements.

The movements felt smooth and oddly unnatural. “The speeding up of these moves provides a valid defence when attacked?” He asked in a soft tone and a look of concentration etched on his face.

Kalitta spread her feet apart, her front right foot was in front of her and bent at the knee while her left foot was behind her. “Today’s lesson is not on combat but on balance and control. You must first learn how to control each move slowly before you can speed it up for proper combat.” She then brought her arms in front of her once again and this time she began to rock back and forth and made a slow pushing movement with her open palms in front of her. “This move gives you great balance and strength against your opponent. It is meant to push them away from you.”

“Now we move together at the same time.”

Hill nodded, “I am used to my brute strength.” He said breathing out as he moved. “Using others strength and momentum against them is something that will be advantageous.”
