WOOT!!! So, summer school. Sucked ass. I agreed to it, but I had no idea how much time it would take! Geez!

HOWEVER - I have successfully completed one semester of geometry, two semesters of English and one semester of computers with a B-, A and B+. Geometry (so far) has been easier than algebra! I can touch the shapes and that helps a lot!

This means that for the fall I'll be taking:

Chemistry
English III
American History
Spanish II
Dance (wth?)
Public Speaking
Geometry (2nd semester)

I had a thought about basically working with him with a staff, since he's already familiar with how his stick thing works. It wouldn't be much of a shift and he could apply the knowledge with his actual stick if he needed to - that thing's metal. It hurts when he whacks you with it.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it also hurts when he punches you in the face. I think the tricky thing (dude, Matt, sorry about like talking about you in your own journal) is gonna be like explaining things without saying "Okay, copy what I'm doing" which is totally how I usually teach physical stuff. Which might mean a lot of hands on.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

it's cool. And yeah, I'm bad at copying someone.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily a problem, though. Just talk him through it and correct his stance or whatever as you go along. It's like yoga instructors. Or when you're teaching the kata. Or boxing, for that matter. You know, "Hold the stick out vertically, twist it to the side, beat the crap out of the dummy." Or whatever. And fix his elbow positioning when he moves it wrong.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's impossible, just not my normal style.

A bob might help too, less us getting hit, more the bob getting hit.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Theoretically, couldn't he use his other senses to figure out where people are to hit them? I mean, I can do that with my eyes closed and he's got that sonar thing, so it should work when you apply it with the stick training?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but control issues are gonna be like, all over the place at first.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

That's where you come in. It's a system that will be fantastic.

I break my personal record for number of shiners in one week and I'm going to start demanding beer.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

I have no problem supplying you with beer. And I don't think we ever got around to half the liquors I wanted you to try.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

At least this time I don't have to worry about people kicking a heavy bag so hard it breaks.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

That's true. You just have to worry about getting whacked with a stick. We're going to need to invest in some padding. I know we'll both heal up fast, but seriously.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I've got a mouthguard because I got sick of biting myself in the goddamn tongue sparring Doug, and I've got gloves but that's it.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

I've got gloves and wraps. And that's about it. We're gonna need to work on it.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

And tape. I've got a TON of tape. Because claws.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Tape is good. I mostly don't like having to wait for my knuckles to heal. It's kind of annoying.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I don't like cutting up decent people with my hands and feet. Kinda this thing I try to avoid.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Admirable. I like this quality in you.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And hey, if they're gonna make tape in like, sports team colors I'm gonna buy it.
