Trainning 1

Year 5

The Tempest style is something that I like. A combination of kick technique and short sword style. But, as I said before, I want to develop my style.

So after thinking for a bit, I will see it in the future, after all, the tempest style is almost the same as the ideal martial art style in my head. So rather than developing my style, it's more to developing and adapting the tempest style to my ideal martial arts.

But for now, let's train the basics first, and train my body. After all, basic style is the foundation of the style, and my body and experience are the ones that truly hold me back from truly mastering the basics.

Experience can be gained from the spar with my clan member, while my body development can be developed via training and natural growth. But in consideration of my natural growth, My father devises training that won't hinder my natural growth.

The Tempest style itself required a strong yet flexible body, as the style has a lot of kicking technique that requires the rotation of the hip, flexible, strong and dexterous legs. And because of the tempest style-focused centred around leg technique, balance is also required.

So my father made me do a lot of training and stretching that will make my body, especially my lower body, possess strength and flexibility.

For strength, he usually made me do a lot of running through the mountain near my home. Because of a lot of natural obstacles on the mountain, when I'm doing my run in the mountain, I will be required to jump over it. It feels like I'm doing a parkour routine in the jungle.

For flexibility, well, he made me do a lot of stretches. Like a lot.

For the dexterity of my leg, he made me do a lot of daily activities that are usually done by hands to be done by my legs.

Eating food? Hold your chopsticks with your legs!! Drawing? Hold your pencils with your legs!! Do you want to clean your as* after taking PO*? Clean it properly, it's disgusting!!!!

Joke aside, he does make me do a lot of daily activities with my legs. He even teaches me how to use bows and knives with my leg. He teaches me when we go hunting in the mountain near my clan compound.

The forest is also the place where he trains my senses. My father originally wants to train all of my senses at once, but because the meeting with my mother is almost up, he can only train my senses of hearing by putting a blindfold in my eyes.

For balance training, well it's kind of simple. I simply have to stand by one leg a lot of time. For now.

Now, Short sword. The Tempest style originally is using knives rather than short swords, but my grandpa adjusts it to using a shord sword. He adjust it to a short sword because of the longer reach that short sword offered but still won't hinder the leg technique that the tempest style focused on.

But because of heigh, I'm training on the original tempest style, the technique before my grandpa adjusted it and using knives.

The adjustment that my grandpa did is also the reason why I believe that I don't need to create an original style from scratches, but rather adjust the tempest style to my ideal.

Another idea that came to my head, is also to develop techniques that came from other anime and movie work. Several techniques that came to my head, for now, is geppo or moonwalk, Rankyaku or tempest kick and soru or shave from One Piece. These three techniques are very compatible with the tempest style.

When I consult my idea with my father, he advise me not to develop my technique until I reach the minimum advanced Disciple class, recommended at an expert class. he said that it's because I will have more understanding of tempest style, my body and my preferences as well as more experiences at that time.

Seeing my sad expression, he shows me that the tempest style has a technique similar to rankyaku or the tempest kick, and the name, coincidently, is also rankyaku. It is one of the more advanced styles of tempest styles.

Seeing that, made me more motivated to adopt the tempest style to my ideal style. And that developing the other two style, geppo and soru, are possible.

These are the current possibilities that I could think of for now. But, I'm just starting my training, so I do indeed have the time. So I will take it slowly, and surely.

This is my second life, after all, a second chance, I don't want to mess it up.
