Serpentine Training

Liana patted Tannis head and smile a little as she looked down at her, " Speed it is, now when you're gonna focus on speed, make sure to send many punches, make them quick, and relentless okay?" Liana said as she began to bounce on her toes a little, warming up and keeping herself moving and alert, " ALWAYS! be in some sort of motion when you rely on speed, never stop ! come on, do what I do and moved from left to right as well okay"

Liana said as she raised her hand up, ready send a few punches, and such towards Tannis, but not starting yet, " I am going to be sending a punch every now and then, they won't be fast, and frequent, but they will be strong okay! you're goal is to dodge and then move in and strike me with a fast and strong punch, anywhere you want, remember, don't stick to the same place all the time, change it out, never be predictable." Liana said as she looked on at Tannis, hoping that her words made any sense, it was the same things that her father had told her about how to street fight.

Tannis watched Liana begin to bounce back and forth on her toes and when she asked Tannis to do the same, the little crazy girl began to do her best. Tannis began to mimick Liana's moves but as Liana's bouncing was crisp and trained Tannis was sloppy and she almost fell over a few times because she slipped on her foot when she landed on a bounce but no matter how bad she was, Tannis continued to bounce.

Now when Liana said she would begin to throw punches at her, Tannis felt a little afraid but she kept bouncing and looked at Liana "I'll try my best and don't worry if i'm one thing its that i'm unpredictable" Tannis said with a smile as she thought she told a good joke.

Liana was about to laugh a little when she watched Tannis bounce around a little, it was kinda cute, but also funny to see how she stumbled around a little, there was a pretty funny thing to look back and think about how this reminded her about how she was when she was a kid, first learning about how to fight, Tannis reminded her a little of a older version of how she was when she was younger, at least when it came to fighting.

Liana laughed a little, at Tannis joke, well with her little minis, she should be a bit unpredictable, and she had sort of been that last night, but still, Liana got herself ready, and then threw a punch, it was quite strong, but it was very predictable, and she telegraphed it quite a lot, and just a straight punch, she wanted Tannis to dodge it, and she wanted her to get better, so to start out, she would have it be easy, but a bit painful if she failed.

Tannis watched Liana intensly waiting for the time when she would strike with her fist and Tannis didn't have to wait long as Liana threw a punch straight at her. Tannis bounced quickly to the left avoiding the punch but doing so threw Tannis off balance and she fell over onto the mat but as she did Tannis remembered that Liana wanted her to strike back as well so as Tannis hit the mat she kicked out with one of her legs aiming for Liana's calf hoping to at least hit her.

Liana smiled when she was Tannis avoid her punch, but then she went down for some reason, she had no idea why, it looked almost like she fell, this was going to need a lot of work perhaps, but at least she dodged, and it seemed like that wasn't all when the little girl came around a swing her leg, kicking at Liana's calf, which neatly took the balance from her as she nearly fell down herself.

But she simply ended up staggering back a few steps before regaining balance, and then looking back at Tannis, smiling at her, " Nice! Looks like there is a lot of potential for you little one!" Liana said, quite happy about it, it meant that Tannis might have the chance to get a lot better.

Tannis was already getting up onto her feet when Liana praised her "R,really you think so" Tannis said stuttering alittle in anxiousness "I'm glad" Tannis then began to bounce back and forth on her feet again while looking intently at Liana as Tannis knew her training wasn't done after just that one punch.

Liana smiled a little as she decided that Tannis could get stronger, if she kept up that will to try and get better, she could become great some day, it was all just a matter of time, and training, and Liana would offer her that, " You know, about these Minis of your's, don't they give you advice about what to do? don't they help you or anything, cause if they don't then they kinda such right?" Liana asked as she watched Tannis bounce back and forth a little.

She was getting herself ready to punch her again, there was a lot of things they had to work on, first she had to find out, how fast Tannis was exactly and then she would have to find out what kind of style she used, and try and work it into some kind of fighting technique, this was going to be a project to say the least, but at least she was going to help train her friend, she just hoped that this one wasn't just with her because she wanted protection, or because she wanted to rise to the top.

"Well sometimes they give me advice and sometimes they just make fun of the person i'm talking to." Tannis said as she stopped bouncing as she blushed "Well actually they just laze about and goof off" Tannis said beofer looking at Liana and seeing that she was going to punch her Tannis quickly adopted her defensive stance again and she prepared herself for the punch.

Liana laughed a little, Tannis was fun, more fun then anyone that she had ever been with, and she was making Liana quite happy, it was odd, no one but her parents had ever been able to do that, in any case, Tannis was such a sweat girl, and Liana would make her stronger, and protect her, because that was what should be done.

" Well then, you tell them that if they don't start helping you out a bit more, then they will have to answer to Liana, Okay?" Liana said whit a little wink, as she then got herself ready to throw another punch towards Tannis, this training was meant to get her foot work going, and get her used to dodging and throw back an attack towards her opponent, to retaliate against them.

Liana saw that Tannis was ready, and this time would throw a slow yet powerful punch, that could be easy to see and telegraf where it was going to go, but this time it was faster than before, to try and test her out a little more.

"I think they will understand that" Tannis said with a smile as Liana threatened her little minis but her mind quickly focused on what was going on in front of her and she quickly managed to dodge Liana's punch this time without falling and as Tannis dodged she kicked her leg out at Liana's calf again trying to hit the same spot as before.
