PLAYER PLOT! EVERYBODY WAS KUNG-FU FIGHTING

[amonfire]

Your local pinko fantasy communist, Amon, has taken it upon himself to start taking on students in the ancient technique of ~CHI BLOCKING~ Which is in essence a discipline of martial arts (shrouded in mystery - like you do) that emphasises on attacking a persons' line of chi (read: energy, life force, applied phlebotinum, et al.) Pressure points. You'll be learning how to take jabs at a person's pressure points to temporally sever voluntary muscular function in a localized region that usually effects an entire limb or joint. So just go with it. The bulk of these lessons would be Amon teaching those without any outstanding abilities to defend themselves through supervised training.

(translation: non-benders and regulars preferred NO BOURGEOIS AND SUPERMEN)

CHI BLOCKING IN ACTION

STUDENT BODY AND POSSIBLE TEACHER-STUDENTS

As of right now OOC'ly I can take up to around ten students at a time, but can hand wave a few private lessons (lemme teach you how a real pro bends ahur). But to allow for more novitiates I will make an OOC registry for possible assistant instructors. Preferably anyone already adept at martial arts that can be taught to make the transition from throwing punches to making surgically accurate strikes to the human body easier.

Below are forms for both.

FOR STUDENTS

sooooo hi

Okay so Ava has magical enhancement but it's from a Thing that's not actually her and she'd be willing to downplay that to learn badass chi blocking techniques. She's both well-versed and proficient in martial arts and has some basic experience teaching people (specifically metas but hey) although she's sixteen so Amon could probably find better people and also I think that conversation could be fun to play out IC whatever Amon's answer was and I'm sorry this sentence is so long

[amonfire]

tl;dr is not a problem and the simplest answer is he'll tell her to downplay that noise the moment he gets wind of it and bullshit some excuse of it getting in the way of The Learning Experience

albeit with less tact but sure she can join

sweet!

Any experience with martial arts or its ilk: Lots. She's got some experience whipping her teammates into shape and she can adapt some SHIELD training techniques, but she can also just be a regular student, however the ratios work best.
