Adelle was still clumsy - at least compared to the standards of control which Neela held herself to, which were admittedly high since she lacked so much for brute strength - but that was to be expected for someone so inexperienced and she was improving fairly quickly, Neela could see as she watched the girl practising on thin air a few times before resuming the game.
This time went much as the last though Neela, more confident in Adelle’s ability to keep her range correct this time, didn’t move her head this time as Adelle’s fist came rushing towards her face, just lightly tapped the back of her wrist as it withdrew.”That was good.” she said, smiling, ”You’re getting the movements better. Speed will come with time and practise, power as well. You’re good at guessing your range as well, that’s good; trying to punch someone too far away to hit properly is a big mistake, puts you off balance for no gain and an experienced fighter will be able to tell the punch has no chance of hitting and take advantage, same concept applies for weapon work as well really.” Neela stepped backwards from Adelle, unbuckling and belt and weapons around her waist and tossing the whole thing off to the side. ”There’s more I could tell ya, places to hit and different types of punches, kicks and knees – you’d do good with them, got strong legs – an you could probably grapple fairly well. Would take ages to go through it all though, I’ve been learning for years.”
While she had been talking Neela was walking slowly and when she finished she was on the opposite side of the ring from Adelle. She stopped for a minute, rolling her shoulders to loosen them off, ”Doing too much at once isn’t a good way to learn though, and the best way to learn is doing; makes ya all the more eager and focused ta learn something new when you’ve felt how effective it is, so how about a spar? No claws’r teeth an no weapons, just strikes.” Neela grinned as she made the challenge, flashing ivory white teeth towards Adelle as she got into position.
