[Makeshift Dojo] The Pirate and The Fisherman!

[Trusted Grader]

How long had she been pretending to be a free woman? Or was she even pretending at this point? It was hard to tell due to her new persona being so close to her true personality that she quite frankly enjoyed the idea that Nanami was the "true" version of herself, although she did make sure that Nanami wouldn't reconnect back to Hotaru to those who knew, for she wanted to make sure that she stayed free, not only for Kumo's sake but for the sake of Black Wake, for at the end of the day she wasn't sure if she was going back.

How did things come to this? No matter, what did matter was that the spy needed to get someone money and the best way she knew how to do it was by teaching and charging a fee, so here she was, at an abandoned dojo where she cleaned up and put up a sign. "Here today, gone tomorrow" What a crazy idea to pull off but if she managed then she would be set for a short while, hell, if it worked well then she could do that wherever the boats landed and continue to rake in money while she secretly trained a combat style she had been cooking up for a while.

"We will start with the fundamentals, the counter stance.

Nanami bowed to the incoming students before she took a close foot stance, she began to crouch down a bit and spread her arms wide in an open stance, this was to invite the enemy to attack, not knowing that she had cooked up a counter as it was a bait and switch. Wushu had taught her a great deal in combating unarmed and her black ops style had taught her how to fight with weapons but her new style, Silat was going to be a mix of both of them.

So when the combatant rushed in to kick her, she pushed his hand to the side with her right arm and the left one struck his neck, her right leg was quick to kick his shin, which caused him to side flip, Nanami would follow up with a punch that almost struck the man on his head. "And that's how you take out an enemy with just three moves, if we use a weapon, such as a Karambit then the second strike would be enough as we would've pierced his neck. Any questions? Go ahead."

Nanami would look over the students performing the counter stance, her eyes fixated on one particular student, a shark man who seemed like a natural. This guy has potential. Nanami smiled as she stopped next to him, inspecting and even assisting him to make sure that he got the training done with as little effort as possible, once they were complete she would start formulating the next training phase.

Counter-Stance: Rookie
C-Rank Stance Taijutsu
The basic fundamental stance of Silat, the user stands in a close foot stance while their arms are wide open to lure the enemy into a strike. This stance requires equal rank [Acrobatics] to counter the counter stance as all moves from this stance are strictly counteractive. Anyone lacking [Acrobatics] at this rank will find it hard to pull off any moves thrown at the user as they are easily countered.
