((you and me both, my friends keep dragging me around the joint.))
Zaid gave Dante a big grin as he heared his words, he turned to face Owari as he replied in a joking tone "Think you can catch up buddy?" his arms were crossed over his chest as he listened to Owari's words intently, if he is going to extremely advance his melee skills he will need this man's help since so far not many who are experienced with blades are around to do open training sessions, him included.

Ignoring the joking tone of Zaid, he would go further with his speech to both soldiers. He only imagined the hardships that would occur once his lessons begin and how he will transform these soldiers into warriors with the vast knowledge in hand to hand combat and melee weaponry. Snapping his fingers, a loud whip from Kiro's tail was bestowed to silence everyone to provide how serious he was currently in their presence, ready to speak to them.
" I will tell you guys as my witness that I will not accept weakenings within this domain of mine. I want your full commitment to this and not question my teaching methods. If both of you and anyone listening can accept those terms, I promise to strengthen you to your full extent in time. Now do any of you have questions?"

Erin had considered this course of action for some time, and in the end he had decided to attend the class. He figured Owari wouldn't be interested anyway, but since Dante had requested it he knew he should at least turn up.

xxAbraxia ducked her head as she entered the Eastern-styled space, avoiding clocking her forehead on the jamb. It had been almost a full week since she had done so: her memory of the size of the rooms and doorways, and the furnishings, had improved. The mutant had acquired a modified outfit, similiar to Brutus' own: camouflage trousers sewn from several human-sized ones supported by suspenders, and a simplistic sleeveless top. Her feet were bare, and the bandana she usually wore as a dustmask hung loose about her neck.
xx"Sorry I am running behind. I had other duties to finish first." She rumbled, coming to a stop beside the equally towering Deathclaw. She looked at the two Brotherhood members she did not recognize, having not yet met them; Owari and Erin she knew from missions. She kept her mouth shut, however, figuring introductions would happen eventually if ever. That, and she did not want to interrupt Owari. The mutant turned her attention to Kiro.
xx"Hallo, Kiro." Abraxia murmured at the lizard. She was far less nervous of the beast now than she had been, having experienced Owari's control over it and its own behaviour.

Having heard about the new class going on, Bren had been immediately curious. His hand to hand skills were barely significant, and thinking about it he figured it would be a good idea to learn at least basic hand to hand techniques. After further thought on the subject, he figured it would be a useful, even fun, way for the squad to get to know each other better, and had sent out messages regarding the class.
Bren arrived, and was surprised to notice the small crowd already formed. Brax was easily visible among them, and he jogged up to the familiar hulk. With a slap on her back he greeted her with a smile, saying, "Heya Brax, what's up?" Looking around quickly he also noticed several other familiar faces, both high ranking and low.

Dante was listening to the speech Owari gave them, as arrogant as it sounded, it was also truth. The large tribal was very skilled in the arts of hand to hand combat. Dante was just about to say something when more people rolled in. Another Renegade member, that was good, however the other one, Brax, he hadn't really had the chance to meet her yet. The third individual caused Dante to tense up. Unknowingly his hands where clenched in fists. He quickly snapped out of hit however, it was in the past, he had to let it go. "I'm ready to learn what you have to teach. Any questions will come when they are needed." Dante said in a very serious tone. This was something he was going to work at, he had to be stronger.

Damion stepped into the room and stood off to the side. Silent for now, he watched the assimbled Brotherhood members and waited to see if one of them would be free soon.

“Glad to hear you are ready for some lessons."
Finishing up his conversation with the leader of his squadron, the Ryukas tribal felt it was necessary to report to the other arrivals and at last begin introductions before commencing with the beginning regiment he had in store for everyone. Whistling in for his colossus lizard of a companion, he watched as Kiro paced to be positioned behind him. Located near the main room bestowed for lessons, he gave a serious glance at all the individuals as he addressed everyone at once.
“Now for everyone here, I will assume you are all interested in bettering yourselves in the ways of hand to hand combat. Because I am still not familiar with everyone and I feel teamwork is important, tell me your name, your reason towards entering this class, and lastly perhaps describe the style in hand to hand combat. This will give me access to not only your mindset, but your traits in close combat. So, who is going first?”
Owari knew trust would be minimal at first, yet the tribal sensed it was ideal to have them all bond together and learn more about their comrades. It served as a two way street, one for their relations in the Brotherhood of Steel, and another to grasp their characteristics plus mindset when it comes to close quarter combat without weaponry. Hopefully he would be teaching an interesting group.

Interesting, he thought. Though he was here with a goal in mind the idea of participating in somemartial arts was apealing. Looking around, he saw how some of the others were hesitant. So he stepped forward.
"I will go first."
He grinned, his chin thrust forward with that arrogant smirk on his face. Stepping forward, he stood at parade rest with his hands behind his back.
"I am Damion Wolf. I came here to ask a question but, seeing your presentation, I am curious to learn more. My style is close range with or without weapons. Not a lot of kicks; mostly punches. I try to get in, get close and punch people in the head until they stop resisting."

xxThe super mutant looked at the arrivals, listening intently to Havoc's introduction. When he was finished, she took a half-step forward--about the amount of a regular human's pace--and smiled faintly.
xx"I am Gigant Abraxia, but most call me 'Brax' here. I am here primarily because my body is my best weapon for me right now." As a Senior Initiate, Abraxia would not have access to the larger weaponry she had trained to operate in the Master's army, and she had a habit of breaking most melee weapons such as spears and hammers. "I would like to learn better ways of fighting so I will do better. When I fight without weapons, I... have done almost everything. Kicking, punching, grabbing, stomping, crushing..." she trailed off on the list with a faint flex of her large biceps.
xxAs was evident from her super-human size and strength, Abraxia's bear-hugs and grapples would be effective against smaller opponents, although a punch or kick could also be devastating. However, precision had become a notable issue to her: mere strength was not enough to get her by any more. "Thank you for giving me the chance to improve, Owari," she finished, and moved to take up a position beside Bren, playfully ruffling his sandy head.

The Elder took this moment to introduce himself, calling out, “And I am Elder Xenos.” He entered the room from behind them, and would not have been surprised should none of them had recognized him. He had been a Junior Paladin when Dante and Zaid had first joined the Brotherhood, and even then he wore only powered armour, never being seen outside of it. He would have seemed a bit off, and a bit short, even though he still stood well over six foot. Even without the armour he was still a large man, with huge muscles and scars covering his arms, neck, and face, the only parts that could be seen. Overtop the rest of him he wore a black sleeveless shirt and some tan, loose fitting pants. Already he was wearing no shoes.
He paused intentionally before explaining his own reason for being there. “I relish in the art of melee combat, and prefer my own body as my weapon. If there is anything for me to learn from this, I’d be more than happy to.” He explained, pausing once more before continuing, “As per my style? If I once had one it’s long gone now, replace simply by what works. Now I mostly let instinct take over, which seems to work pretty well. If I hit something, chances are that it’s going to die.” A smile cut his face in half, stretching into a wicked grin.

From the rear of the room he came, emerging like a creature of pure darkness from the shadow, a twisted smile stretched across his lips as the blaze of sadistic pleasures raged in his eyes. As light gave way to the features of the one called Joker, he couldn't help but step up to Owari's challenge.
"I am.... well, you know me as Joker but my real name isn't important right now. I wish to learn more about fighting hand-to-hand, using my fists and legs as weapons rather than constantly relying on a firearm or a blade/ maul. I guess you could say my preferred fighting style is Berserker- wild, semi-calculated swings that do lots of damage, if they happen to hit. Defensively, Berserker style means that I can take a lot of damage and not be knocked down- essentially used as a Shock Trooper tactic back in the days of Vikings and the old Norwegian Gods. I wish to learn how to improve upon this and in turn improve upon myself, Owari." said Joker, folding his hands and giving a slight bow.

The assault on Bren's head was near deadly, his hair now in a state of utter disarray. "Heeeeyyyyyy...", he muttered to Brax jokingly. He gave her a punch in the side, most likely the equivalent to a small child's poke, as retaliation in good fun.
Seeing as how no one continued after Joker, Bren stepped forward and looked around at the group. Ack...I'm kinda short...he thought, scratching the back of his head. "Hey, I'm Squire Bren Land, squad leader of Validus squad," he said with his trademark smile before continuing, "I'm here to try and learn a bit more than my basic hand to hand skills. I know that I'll eventually run out of ammo, and sometimes a weapon may not be handy or even practical. My current skills are...minimal...so I don't think it'll be too hard to improve. Looking forward to getting my a** kicked...erm...yeah."
A couple quick steps later he was back by Brax, pretending to get ready to rush her. He was crouched with his arms out, like an the old sumo wrestlers, and ran at her, grabbing her leg. "I'ma getchoo!"

He kept his mouth shut and listened to everyone else before his turn came, he stepped forward after nodding to the Elder. A flasback of his first mission with him came to mind as he remembered their little confrontation that nearly got him killed before they even left the base and a smile found it's way upon his lips, he snaped out of it and with a clam and collected tone his voice spread through his surroundings as he said "Knight Razgriz, my main reason for joining is to further develop my skills with the combat knife." His eyes were looking directly into the tribal's as he spoke up with determination etched into his gaze.

Erin took his turn, having been deciding how best to phrase his reasons for joining. "I suppose my reasons are to understand the fighting techniques available, and what is likely to be used against me by those I face, so I can put them down faster and more easily. Every moment I'm busy giving something a structurally superfluous new ventilation system is a moment one of their friends can send something considerably more dangerous in my direction."
He paused as he thought of something before continuing. "It would also give those here a chance to spar with a deathclaw and gain valuable combat experience without the threat of evisceration."
