What The Luck!?

"You can watch as many as you want. But I expect the closet and gym floor cleaned. Normally I would let the staff do that but the custodian that waxes the floor was injured on his way home in the attack on the city. He is recuperating and students will be elected or volunteer to assist in the small tasks he did for everyone." Now the group felt as if they had no choice but to constantly help out. No one had the courage to say that they didn't want to clean and wax the floors as she left.

"Think of it as a hero job. We are volunteering to help someone who can't do this because of an injury. We would be doing things like this when we get to university and enter a hero specific program anyways." The positive attitude that Sammy took on was quickly shared with everyone.

The idea didn't go too far for all of them but it was enough for them to get to work. "I think there's like a hundred videos in here. How will we pick a move to learn?"

"Louis, watch out for the television in there. If you zap it we can't watch all the videos, or at least the good ones." Cara was not about to take the hit if the television was broken. She also knew that coach Winters would unleash years of fury on them in the form of extra training and homework.

"How to stretch… Is this really a video? We already learned to scratch in class and with each other. I feel like half of this box is just random scratches." The box that Art had claimed to search was older than most and had over seven volumes of the how to stretch series. It was clear that these were widely used at one point in history.

"I think that these are also from past gym teachers. There are too many from years ago. Some of them even show people with weird poofy hair on the covers." Asher felt that the videos were not necessarily up to date until he pulled out another set. "Ha! I found the good ones." These were much newer and obviously labeled.

"No way these are real. The three tiger kicks? How cheesy in the at name?"

Louis read the cover of the first in the box as soon and Asher had motioned for them to come and look it over.

'Ten dollars says that this is a fake video just so she can mess with us." Even Jackson was believing that it was fake and was willing to join the test of them and bet it was false.

"I bet ten that it is real then. You will owe me ten dollars and anyone else that joins in will owe me too." There was annoyance in every word that Jane said. Se knew full well that everyone thought that coach Winters was just using it to torture them. Especially since she was always hard on everyone to push them to their best.

"Uh, wait. I was just a joke"

"No, you said it. Let's see." Jane snatched the video and placed in in the television port. The mechanical clicking registered in their ears before the television burst in to life to show a much younger coach winters.

"This is volume one of the tiger style. It is known for its burst of strength and speed in its movements. Today we will talk about the three tiger kicks series. These are three kicks in a row often used to distance an opponent or cause harm to the body. Aiming for the head and legs will cause a major loss in power."

"That isn't actually her…is it?" The group was stunned. To actually see that coach Winters had been so good as to be able to teach when she was only at college age. Se had to be considered a genius when it came to martial arts. That or she worked harder than any other did.

"The first kick is a straight kick. It used the core and the legs to drive your force toward your heal and in to your opponent when you unbend your knee." The video showed coach Winters lifter her leg and pointing out the changes in muscle groups to push the pressure to the heel of her kicking led. Then the force hit the dummy in front of her and pushed it back even though she did the move in slow motion.

"That distance is what makes you room for the second kick in the combination. The reverse heal kick. You will use your momentum to turn and twist gaining additional force. That allows you to move quicker and close the distance between you and your stunned opponent. When your kick lands it is important to push through your opponent and not retract your attack. It will add more force."

The video showed the quick spin and the back of her heel hitting the rib area of the training dummy. The force was much tougher now but it also continued to push the dummy back and to the side.

"Now that the two have been done it is time for the third and final move in the combination. This last kick continues the force and switches the movement to the leg you have been using as your support. Instead of fending the combination, you will stomp your moving leg to the ground pushing your body up. Raise your super power leg and kick toward the chest area as if you are pushing off a wall." The move was much faster than the previous moves but it knocked the training dummy over completely. "From there you can pin down your opponent. Now watch it all together."

The triple kicks combination was insane in practice. Watching a younger coach Winters execute the three kicks. The combination was faster than their eyes could keep up with until it was demonstrated again in slow motion. She was able to flawlessly connect the kicks and even manage to show the camera a smile while she did it.

"Here's your ten dollars." Jackson knew that everyone would get on him if he didn't do what he had said. Even though Jane had just been joking more or less about the money part. She would never actually take money from her friends or anyone. She was actually against betting since there was the risk of addiction.

"This means that the entire stack with these labels is her…how many moved does she know?" Laura has speedily sorted through all the videos to find that all of them were the same handwriting and the same style. It was amazing to find out the massive depth of coach Winters' knowledge. She could easily beat the group ten times over and over again while also using different moves each time.

The group quickly forgot their task to wax the floor and began to practice the moves while slowly skipping the video part to part. The person that seemed to grasp the kick the best was Jane. She had the burst of energy to make herself kick hard enough to cause the same movements as the younger coach Winters did. Jane's style was using the strength of her legs to move faster at the core of her being. This melded perfectly with the triple kick combo presented in the video.

They all watched as Jane was able to figure it all out after watching just a handful of times. It was amazing since they were nowhere near the same result. However, after Jane had shown that she could do it even though it was rough, Asher and Art added the next videos. This one was demonstrating how to block the kicks from the previous videos.

The group started to let Jane practice the kicks while they practiced the blocks. If they had kept learning the kicks then Jane would have been above them. However, since Asher and Art had been quick, they were able to find the counter to the move.

"Remember, never block a kick. You deflect which is the perfect block." This was the best advice yet. Everyone would try to be tough and try to completely block and kick or attack in general. But if it was deflected and the direction was changed then the kick would normally hit the ground or another solid surface. Therefore, the kick would cause the attack to become damaged or at the very least slightly stunned. This would allow for the person blocking to escape or attack themselves.

"So they can really [pick up the moves quickly. Who would have thought that I would see them used again? I retired that style a long time ago." Coach Winters found herself in the security booth watching. She could care less about the floor waxing but was more focused on the moves the group was learning. She had never passed these moves on to anyone but today had been the first.. The group was unknowingly being guided.
