Chapter Ten: Rockstars In "Training"
"Thanks for teaching us how to be ninjas Katie!" Zack joked.
"No Problem!" I replied.
I had a really huge backyard, so everyone had their space so I could teach them their moves.
"Okay, forget all that honor crap, that's not important right now. We're gonna save my best friend Summer. Okay, I'll start off with the guarders. Freddy and...Joe. Okay the main moves you'll have to know is The Leap of Death, Catch and Release, and The Daggar Defense."
"That first one sounds pretty cool." Joe commented.
"Oh, it is." I replied, smirking.
"Okay the first thing to do is to partner up. So Joe, you're taller than Freddy, so you'll be the attacker. Freddy, you defend. Remember, Attack and Defend. First things first, Joe, pretend to throw a punch at Freddy."
Things were going smoothly. Freddy and Joe were practicing the three moves over and over and over until they were strong enough to do it. And maybe even put some people in the hospital. I was now working with Ryan and Brendon.
"Okay, Aikido. Aikido is Japanese Samurai fighting style. You guys are going to learn how to Stealth, that's just a fancy word for moving in and out of shadows to get Summer."
"I've seen Bruce Lee do it a million times!" Brendon smiled. "You hide in shadows in case a dude comes and tries to hit you."
"Exactly. Now, you need to know how to do it correctly, or you're dead. Literally. What you need to do is a lot of spinning and twirling. So I'll attack you, Ryan, and when I go to throw a punch, spin out into a fake shadow. Brendon, you follow him." I said. Damn, I felt so in control!
They did as I said, and it turned out good as soon as they started practicing it. I looked at Pete, whom was leaning his weight on the Bo Staff. I walked over to him, and I grabbed the Staff.
"You, are going to learn Bo Staff Lesson A: Release The Soul. It's simple." I said.
"Okay. How do I exactly do this?" Pete laughed.
"Use the moves you did in that music video, but add Bo Staff movements along with it. Like Swinging Branch, Heaven's Gateway, and Javalin Force. Like this." I said as I did the movements.
"Now you try."
Pete did it without flaw. He was a natural. Everyone seemed ready to kick some ass, but we needed one more lesson: Ki-Ai's.
"Ki-Ai is the sounds that the people make when they are doing these movements. You just yell. like HAI!" Now you guys try." I said.
"HAI!" they all screamed.
"Okay, when it gets dark, we'll make our move. Zack, you'll distract people. Even though Brendon is good at that." I laughed.
"Project SSNH!" Zack yelled.
"PROJECT SSNH!" We all yelled back.
"Alright, all we need to do now, is wait for it to get dark." Freddy said.
"Well, two more hours until 6:00." Pete said. "It isn't Spring or anything, so it gets dark earlier."
"We'll go at 6:00 then." Zack said.
Brendon's cell phone rang.
"What? You didn't know?" Brendon said into the phone
"I did!" Pete laughed.
We all looked at each other weirdly, but we let it slide.
TWO HOURS LATER
"SHHH! Be quiet! Stay in your places!" I snapped.
"Brendon and I will break the window." Ryan said.
"But you can't, it's break in-"
The glass was all over the grass, and it was fighting time. Andrew and his crew came out. Michelle was one of them.
"EVERYONE GET READY!" I yelled.

OF CHAPTER!
R&R PLEASE!!!
GLOSSARY OF MARTIAL ARTS USED IN THIS CHAPTER
The Leap of Death: One of the strongest movements you can use to defend yourself. it's commonly seen in Bruce Lee movies and sometimes Jackie Chan movies. The movements include fixtures to the neck, groin, and stomach.
Catch and Release: One of the more simpler moves in Martial Arts, mostly used in Kung Fu, but rarely used in Tae Kwon Do. It has three different kinds of kicks: Roundhouse, Snap, and Spinning Double Crescent. The main idea is to get a weapon away from you.
The Daggar Defense: Used in Martial Arts Movies, When you're fighting with two different kinds of weapons, like a Bo Staff and a Sword. It's very complicated and it is a ten minute Kata.(Kata is like Tai-Chi, but quicker and with more force)
Stealth: When in conflict, you find shadows to sneak in and out of to confuse your attacker of where you are when fighting. It's used in Aikido, Japanese fighting style.
Release The Soul: Involves a lot of jumping and quick movements. It's graceful and painful all at once in a nutshell.
Swinging Branch: The Bo Staff is spinning as you are, like you're the tree and the staff is the branch. It looks cooler than it sounds!
Heaven's Gateway: To put it simple, you miss on purpose and act like you fell onto the ground, but you get your opponent's ankles, and hit them REALLY hard.
Javalin Force: When two people are fighting with Bo Staffs, but in this case it's only one and the other is fighting with nunchaku's. You point jab your opponent in the chest, and your partner finishes the job...like the mafia. (LOL!)
