This is a mock lesson of T-1 Fighting that I�ve created to help guide those who don�t know what T-1 Fighting is. This is a recreation scene of Buffy from BtVS fighting a vampire in the graveyard of Sunnydale. If you need further instruction, please contact the owner of the group via e-mail or instant message.

1. The first step to T-1 fighting is to have a sort of introductory paragraph stating the location of your character. This T-1 fight will take place between Buffy and a vampire.

Buffy sat on top of a grave marker in the Sunnydale cemetery. The night had been quiet with little action from the un-dead. Buffy rolled the wooden stake she had been carrying between her hands and looked around the graveyard.

2. T-1 Fighting is very similar to basic role-playing in paragraph form. You must write out the actions of every movie leaving room for your opponent to anticipate, block, or counter your attack. Here is a example of a small attack by the second person in the fight, a vampire:

A freshly turned vampire broke through the soil of the grave below Buffy�s feet. He could smell the Slayer from inside his confining casket. Half way out of the ground, he grabbed onto the unsuspecting Slayer�s ankle, his sharpened fingernails scrapping against her pant leg.

3. Usually the second post in a T-1 fight is a combination of introductory and the first action. The golden rule of T-1 fighting is you can never decide your opponent�s fate in your post. You must always leave it to you opponent to make the result.

Buffy was slightly alarmed by the vampire�s sudden appearance. Its tight grasp around her ankle was nothing compared to the cheap tactics they�ve played on her before. Buffy quickly jolted her leg up attempting to break the grasp of the vampire�s hold.

4. See how Buffy�s post didn�t decide whether or not the vampire let go? That is the only basic fact of T-1 role-playing. Here is an example of how to throw a proper T-1 punch.

Buffy balled her fingers into a fist and raise her arm up. Extending her arm outwards, Buffy threw her fist in the direction of the vampire�s face. Her aim was for the bridge of the nose and rarely did she ever miss.

The vampire reeled back as the Slayer�s fist smashed into his face. His legs flipped out from under him as he toppled over a gravestone. Blood trickled from his nostrils, as he lay flattened out on his back. The Slayer would pay for that.

5. Those are the basics of T-1 role-playing. If you still need more information about the fighting style, please contact the owner and she will work with you one on one to prefect your fighting skills.
