And here's where the Jade Palace masters see the MMA gym for the first time.

Chapter 13: The MMA Experience

As the next day comes in, Po and the Furious Five went with Musaki and Zeke all the way to the gym where Okinawa trains and teaches and Zeke turns to them all and said, "You're gonna love this. It should make you feel right at home, Tigress."

"How different is the gym like here than at the Jade Palace?" asked Tigress.

Sooner or later, they made it to the gym and it was bigger than they had expected to see and everyone's jaw was dropped and Musaki said, "I had that same reaction the first time I saw it."

"This is nothing like the one back at home." Viper said, still shocked.

Musaki looked at the others and realized their amazed shock from the minute they saw the MMA gym right in front of them and he said, "Are you guys gonna stand there and stare at it all day or come inside?"

The masters immediately got to their senses and eventually went in the gym and once inside, they were jaw dropped again by the multiple training equipment surrounding the whole gym with the floor filled with mats along with the walls and this huge ring in the center of it and Po chuckled in amazement and he said, "Your brother must really own this gym."

"I wish. But he said that one of my grandfather's friends owns it. Okinawa just keeps an eye on it and cleans it up if needed." Musaki responded.

"This is totally amazing." Monkey said, amazed.

Tigress couldn't keep her eye away from this huge ring and the minute she went in there, she had never seen anything like it before and could see pretty much everything from above and she looks around and sees those posters of the Furious Five and those multiple posters of the Dragon Warrior everywhere and that sorta made her a little insecure that there are fewer posters of her and the Five because apparently Po is a big deal in the entire gym.

"How's the view from up there?"

Tigress turned around to see that it was Okinawa looking at her near the ring and she said, "How is it that Po's face is always around this gym instead of us?"

"Didn't you see the multiple posters of you and the Five all over when you looked around?" asked Okinawa.

Tigress then looked around the other side and sees that there are many posters of the Five that's surrounded by a full poster full of Po all over the walls and she said, "I see them now."

She then gets out of the ring and faces Okinawa and asked, "How much time you spend here?"

"I'd say every morning and afternoon except for Saturdays and Sundays." Okinawa answered.

The rest of the masters approached Okinawa and Viper said to him, "Your gym is incredible, Okinawa."

"Uh...thanks. But it's not really my gym. I just volunteer here and I'm still a student." Okinawa added.

Zeke nodded in agreement and he said, "He's an awesome teacher and mentor and a student in his own right. Honestly, he's a better teacher than student."

Most of them were really amazed by Okinawa's experience here and Mantis asked, "So...where are the kids?"

"They don't usually get here until like an hour or so. So...before I volunteer teaching, me and my friends usually do some training of our own. Mostly, I'm the only one that shows up." Okinawa answered.

Tigress was still unsure about being surrounded by kids and she asked, "How many kids come around here?"

"A day? About...50 or 60 kids. Why?" asked Okinawa.

The number of kids coming in to teach started to make Tigress go from unsure to a little mortified that he can handle all of them and she twitched her eye and said, "60 kids?"

"Most times. Me and my friends break those down to groups. They get 10 and I get 10, so it'll be a lot easier for us and we won't end up relying on one handling all 60 of them because they're harder to keep up with." Okinawa answered.

"Oh, that makes me feel a lot better." Tigress said, sarcastically.

Okinawa was a little confused on how Tigress reacted on how many kids he teaches and Viper told him, "Tigress doesn't have any experience with children or how to handle them."

"Really? Well...maybe we can change that today." Okinawa added.

Monkey snorts in response and said, "Good luck with that."

"Maybe you guys can also be our volunteers for today in addition to being special guests here. We're always open to volunteers." Okinawa said.

Po was immediately in on this position and he asked, "How long have you been volunteering here?"

"About...3 years?" asked Okinawa, trying to remember.

"Four and a half years, actually." Zeke answered.

"Got it. Thanks. To me, I don't see it as a job. It's like a passion mixed in with a volunteer edge. Oak Sung and some of his friends helped me and taught me so much here that I decided to give back. It's pretty much the reason why I love MMA the most." Okinawa stated.

"You love it so much that you wanted to pay it forward?" asked Crane.

"Sure. Wouldn't you do the same with kung-fu?" asked Okinawa.

Most of them thought about it for a minute and there were some mixed reactions; some were agreeable and one was disagreeable and Okinawa didn't really make a big stink out of the disagreement and he said, "Well...that's okay. Most of them never understood how giving back feels like until they actually try it for themselves."

Zeke noticed all of Okinawa's friends come in the gym; a 21-year old red fox, 20 year old leopard, 22-year old jackal, a 20 year old grey wolf, a 19 year old white tiger, an 18 year old orange and black bengal tiger, a 21 year old giant panda and a 20 year old lynx cat; all male and they saw Zeke come in and the red fox said, "Zeke, what's up?"

"Nothing much." Zeke replied.

Then, they all greeted Okinawa and he said hi to all of them and soon enough, the jackal noticed the kung-fu masters standing there and he said to Okinawa, "Hey, Oki...are those?"

"Yep. Guys, these are the Furious Five and this is the Dragon Warrior. They're our special guests and volunteers for today." Okinawa introduced them.

The masters bowed to them immediately and Tigress said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

The bengal tiger looked at her straight in the eye and he said, "Same here. I am such a big fan of you and your toughness. I think you're the reason why I wanted to experience MMA and I have every single poster of you in my room and may I say...you are so smoking hot?"

Okinawa chuckled at that response and he said, "That's Sora. He has this massive crush on you."

"For real?" asked Musaki.

"Hey, Oki...how'd you get them all here?" asked the 21-year old panda.

Okinawa introduced them to Musaki and explained to them that he's his long lost younger brother and that was a huge shock for them and the red fox said, "Dude...I didn't know you had a little brother. And here I thought it was only Zeke."

"I'm Musaki. Nice to meet you guys." Musaki said, shaking their hands.

Zeke noticed that there were a few kids on their way here and Okinawa said, "The kids are here! Let's go get ready, guys."

Training session begins!
