Keeping your focus.

Its was late afternoon, Anthony was at a Dojo in town having gotten appointed to take some training in self defense. Not that he really felt like it was that was needed. But due to some new events he needed to be able to protect himself, though iuncertain this dojo would give him the kind he needed but either way it would strenghten his reflexes, matial arts did that, or so its said atleast.
This was a one on one course, just a friendly match Anthony had previously trained yet never actually tried to fight proberly against someone else, ofcourse his capabellities was low taken the standarts he normally face yet amoung the normal human men he was above the avarage atleast, not much though yet he was possibly just a fragile and soft.

He stood up, getting ready for the actuall combat, standing before this master of the dojo not really certain of what to do here. He wore the actually uniform as that would be the only appropiate, now they both just stared at eachother waiting, this was friendly but it seemed the man before him was driven by pride more than the friendly intent. With that in mind Anthony stepped forward sending in his first punch which was easily blocked and countered witha kick where Anthony ofcourse due to his teasing blocked as you're supossed to but tooka few steps back after doing so, it hurt, even blocking hurt. Who would ever fight like this, something like that was what you where supossed to do, yet it didn't seem like it worked it just dirrected the pain into another area which was useless. Now Anthony weren't really accepting this again stepped forward sending a kick only open up this mans defenses then getting closer sending a punch hitting dirrectly into his jaw, it must have hurt him yes, but Anthony didn't really think much about that, he quickly moved back avoiding what counters this man brought up as his retaliasion, pointless, why fight even when you hit a guy it still hurts you, martial arts is a dead area theres no point in it, you stand a do nothing you get hurt you fight back and get hurt, you defend yourself and you know whatt? it still hurts. There was other options, Anthony moved close useing maybe alittle above the normal capasity in speed of a normal male moving up close grabbing onto the mans clothes wanting to throw him over and that he suceeded on, yet to find the man having a bit too good reflexes and he for some reason was just thrown over on his legs.

Before long Anthony could feel himself getting thrown over landing flat on his back. Again feeling the pain rush through his mind, utterly ridicules even when trying not to get hurt himself in his fighting he just ends up getting more hurt than he had done before. Though his opponent had seemed to grow reckless, as he gave him way too much time to think before long Anthony sweeped his legs with his own causing him to fall down while Anthony got back up on his feet. making a deep sigh all this just made it seem pointless to even learn this, its not like he was ever going to throw around with hollows as he did not possess the strength and neither Shinigami as that would be below Anthony to outsmart them by the mere means his fists alone, they should be dealt with on their own topic their own laws where going to crush them, the weapon of choice was curriosity, one of the most dangerous traits a brain can have, you know it is said to kill cats but will it also kill Shinigami's?

Anthony had allready skipped out of the fight finding it boring he didn't even feel like continueing before a fist went straigt into his face softly stumbling back from the pain he looked at the guy, that was just low, hitting a guy that was just standing defenseless.
"You're not supossed to let your guard down you know?"
His guard down? well if this fight could have been anyless boring he might not have, quickly stepped a few times he then leapet forward, now that this guy was standing so defenseless, then sending one kick followed by another right down on this poor guys head, swiftly landing on his feet.
"Clearly neither should you... I'm done here..."
With that he turned clearly even he himself was surpriced such a reckless move would even go through he walked for the door, but pretty sure he weren't going to get out just like that, as he sensed at the begining this guy had his pride as priority here, and he weren't going to get taught by some rich guy about how to fight.
"Fighting rule number 1:never turn your back opponent"
Witht hat the man stepped forward wanting to punch after Anthony right into the back of the head, thouGH anthony allready having figured this would happen, by the mere thighting of his palm, he created a reverse explosion on the floor before the fighter stepped down creating a dirrect hole down into the basement, leading him to fall stright down there.
"I never do, truth is you where never an opponent..."
With those pityfull words he walked out out and got changed, leaving the Dojo before the fighter even recovered from the fall.
