For my first update I will inform everyone of our progress to date. Aside from building our pells and preparing to start our keeps into full force we actually got motivated and started doing everything we have been talking about. Just so you know what my plan is with this, I would like to keep a running update everyweek of our progress here for everyone to follow so every time we have a practice or an event I will write and let everyone know how it went and what we are working on currently. Today's practice was wonderful. It started by issuing our first supplicant his tunic(his name is Griffith og Mathews), It has been awhile since I've seen that much pride shown on someone other than mine or Morgan's face. We started our practice with pell work(we also have two people showing up to practice who need the basics). From there we traveled to a local park to suit up. We had the newbies fight first so that Morgan and I could coach them through it. Afterwards Morgan and I suited up and tried not to show our age, at this we failed miserably. Hard to believe that the smoking can affect someone that much (It says nothing about fat guys not fighting after smoking on the box). We worked with our newest supplicant for about three hours until it was hard to tell his bruising from his armor(pictures to follow). Its hard to show them that your really not doing this to hurt them, just teach them, I guess they don't believe it through all the laughter. After fighter practice we proceeded to Morgans house where Morgan and I met with the Captain(Morgan that is) much to Alexander's chagrin. Due to the fact that we found a Mundane device called a Telephone and called him(more than once) to express our love and gratitude for all he has done for us. To anyone that might have been with him?????? Whoops our bad! Timing is everything....... |
