[Basic Wrestling] You punch like a lady, lad! (self-mod)

[Eyvind Redbeard]

First Cycle in the Month of Ponutis in the season of Spring; Era I of the Celestine Mandate, Era XIV Post Fractum.

Morning breeze in long red hair. Steam rising. Bare chest.

Eyvind was in the training field in front of a jet black Dorin. Shield Daekin Dogg was his name. Both tested their strength against one another. Hands on each other shoulders and pushing, pushing, pushing. None of the seven feet tall setient beings seemed to be winning this competition. When seen against the light of the twin Suns their bodies seemed statues as they were in the same position for a very long time. Then the Dorin grinned in the middle of the effort and rotated his torso to his left, bringing his left leg behind making the Vagaran lose his balance and fall forward. A moment later a black and shaggy arm was around Eyvind's neck, a hand in his nape pushing his head down.

"This is what happens when you relly on your strength alone, lad..."

The human heard next to his ear. He could glance the red eyes of the Dorin. Then when the oxygen seemed to be all gone and the end would come quickly he could breath again. The Dorin stood up. Eyvind coffed and rolled over looking up and breathing for air.

"You may be strong but that is no advantage against a trained adversary. Use your head, lad! Or lose it! Now stand up, I will teach you what you need to know."

Shield Daekin Dogg gave a few steps away and turned to the Senior Legionnaire. Slowly he took a combat stance. His right leg forward with the foot pointing forward. His left leg a step behind with the foot making almost a ninety degree angle. His torso was turned left with his head pointing to his right in the same direction of his tauted right arm which was raised at the height of the shoulder. His left arm was bent with his hand parallel to the ground at the height of the hips.

"This is the Posta Longa stance. Or Long Position stance in your language.

In order to earn the prese I am prepared
If I do not deceive you, you will have a good deal.

Remember these words as they are the principle of this stance."

Eyvind imitated the stance and nodded to the Shield Daekin.

"This will be the first thing I will be teaching you today..."
