She almost regretted the offhand remark to Dominik Borra now about her lack of hand to hand combat skills. Idle conversation that had divulged more than she had intended to. Which seemed alarmingly easy to do while speaking with him. Granted she had also had a bit of fun while meeting and lingering in his presence. And would perhaps enjoy seeing him again.

Not that she would openly admit that fact.

Though the cost of that was finding herself at the call of Jade Isara. The woman whose trifold wedding she had been attending before with said person of interest. And was likely the person who had signed her up for lessons in hand to hand combat. If the woman had drawn the eye of not only Star and another Mando, Niki felt she might have been thrown into the deepest end of the proverbial pool for trainers.

She could have ignored the summons, sure. But the gut feeling of far worse happening if she had feigned ignorance and let the offer fall was something she could not explain. So rather than let the offer go, she found herself in the personal home of Cynthia Solus at Jade's behest.

"I am putting a tracking bug in the collar of his shirt the next time I see him." She muttered to herself, idly stretching as she eyed the collection of medical supplies she had brought with her.

She wasn't even teasing the idea of even landing a scratch on her instructor. Rather preparing for the worst when she received any sort of cut. The uninitiated to Atoan anatomy tended to find themselves alarmingly under-prepared for dealing with their unique capacity for losing blood.

[Jade Solus Skirae]

The room wasn't impressive had some equipment of various sorts and a single ring in the middle where Jade was self practicing already in her training outfit, She was practicing and keeping her speed and agility up to date as she was expecting a guest with the help of her lovely wife Stardust Solus Skirae to get the word to them to bring em here for some training.

She figured she could do her best too give them a few pointers and train them and help them improve on both fronts, though its Firrerreo physiology versus...she never really did figure out what species Niki Priddy was or how they work with their physique but something to ask her when she shows up, and right on que there she is already in her gear and with ..quite the amount of medical supplies, there was some already in the sparring room but she brought alot more probably for the best given its basics in the sparing room after all she turned her hair in a long ponytail facing Niki, she only met her once on Denon and seen her around during her wedding she seemed like a interesting individual and she was more of a speak through fighting then speaking through words kind a person.


Probably why she liked the Echani to a extent...kindred spirits in the art of communication through the body then through the words plus their combat moves where of incredible interest to her, when she spoke she had a slight accent too her ((Honestly think like very very light russian accent) when she spoke to her, her golden eyes looking at Niki's amber eyes.


You must be Niki, good of you to show up I figured I'd show a few pointers ....I don't know your species requirements in such matters im afraid so i will have to ask for those before continuing so we dont have complications.


She felt like she was violating personal space asking species requirements but better to know them now then find out later

She watched Jade enter, and couldn't help but watch with a bit more than professional interest. Aside from being incredibly fit, there was a strange grace to how she moved. Her biology seemed largely similar to a typical human. But the comfortable gait barely masked something else in the woman's step.

She'd seen it elsewhere but couldn't put her finger on it as Jade spoke.

"And you must be Jade. Nice to meet you. I'm Atoan. As a whole we are stronger and faster than a typical human but we bleed out like a cracked viewport in space." She informed the woman. Her experience with strength and grace had been a fight between herself and one of her Manufacturing droids.

The blasted thing had made their altercation a standstill until it fired all of it's chemical thrusters and almost drug her out of the shielded bay door into the space around Emberlene.

"Papercuts aren't dangerous but, anything bigger or internal bleeding is a worry. I've brought bacta injections and laser cauterizers if it comes to it. So long as you aren't queasy about it. Otherwise just make sure a hand mirror is around." Niki shrugged at the thought but wasn't wanting to test just how well the woman could work a medical tool.

[Jade Solus Skirae]

She listened to Niki Priddy 's explanation of her species...so physically strong and quick yet they bleed easily and alot if its deeper then a paper cut, something to keep in mind and would explain the medical equipment brought over incase it happens, She wasn't much of a medic...she more lets her own body heal on its own rather then allow others to help heal her...except for the wives...only cause they are more stubborn then her...


''Then we can start with some basic coordination and go from there shall we?"


With that she swayed herself with the grace of a lioness towards the center of the ring as she motioned for Niki to approach, She would be lieing if she wasn't a lovely person to look at but she came here to train...and nothing more..

"Sounds like the best place to start then." She wasn't entirely sure what testing her coordination would involve, but if it meant being less reliant on the droids that would probably make both Dom and Matt happy.

Her eyes narrowed a little while thinking about who else would have been happy to hear about the training, remembering she hadn't checked in at home for some time.

Thoughts for another time as Jade seemed to dance into the ring. Her eyes didn't squint further to watch the woman's form. It was plain enough with the augmentations that something more hid beneath the civil exterior of her trainer. And she hoped she didn't draw out anything more than topical senses of danger for the moment.

Following her into the ring, she felt awkward about what to do with her hands, or really any part of herself for the moment. Her hair drawn back into a ponytail like Jade and chewing on her lip as she took a breath, waiting for instructions.

She took a basic stance her legs spread a few feet apart from eachother her feet dug in while she raised her hands in a open palm like manner .


''First mimic my stance...or find a stance that's comfortable for you, keep your eyes on your opponent and keep an eye on every movement they make for every movement is a strategy or a plan being formed before attack ...as well as try and look for openings in their defenses yourself.


Too her all this was natural and kiddy material but too Niki Priddy it might not be but she had to get her a stance and guard sorted first before attempting to goto actual combat, she's content about one thing though...there's more then enough medical equipment for Niki to be tended too she on the other hand doesn't need any of them she has her own healing abilities that'll do just fine

She gave the woman a tiny nod to the instruction of mimicking her stance. Finding it just awkward enough to adjust herself a little into a more open stance. The open palms were kept to knife hands with the point of her fingers kept to Jade. Her body in a side profile to the woman.

A nod to the bit of weapons combat training that Matt had given her as her legs were kept shoulder width apart, her lead foot towards Jade while the other was turned out slightly and prepared to take a step.

"So hand to hand is a mental game alongside being a physical fight." She observed, taking a deep breath and settling into the stance she had taken a bit more.

Jade Solus Skirae

​

 

[Jade Solus Skirae]

She observed her moments as she switched stances every once and awhile as she circled her like a lion circle's their prey before the pounce as she observed her stances and movements she had no doubt that Niki Priddy will be quite the quick study but she will do her best to train her accordingly as she dashed in and in a fluidic motion like water flowing through a stream went in for a double jab at her they would be light jabs if she wasn't able to block or dodge these were tests.

Tests to see how well she'd respond and how shed react to quick motion movements

 

[Niki Priddy]

Her eyes never left the woman as she circled. The predatory nature of her trainer showing a bit better as the tense circle made her feel cornered even in the center of the room.

Her own feet shifting as the circling continued, and while she was able to see the swift movements coming, that didn't translate to her being able to stop them.

Or stop her own reaction to a sudden movement in her direction.

It felt rather silly in the seriousness of the moment, the small shriek that escaped her when the second jab landed. Her whole body twisting to keep the first jab from landing as both her hands swatted at the first only to feel the second land.

Her face twisting through separate emotions. Irritation at herself for being hit, embarrassment for the shriek, and a touch of humility that her eyes had been able to see the moves. But humbling to know that even with the advantage of fast processing one still had to have the reaction speed to react.

She settled again with a grumble, better prepared in her own mind for a other strike.

 

[Jade Solus Skirae]

She continued prowling around her as she noted her reaction to the second jab she was pleased that she blocked the first one but took note of the second one.

Using both hands for one arm leaves you open you need to make sure that you have ways of blocking an attack from any of my limbs.


With that said she went in for a tri strike attack each jab had a different target on her body to go for she wanted to test her reactionspeed some more first

Niki Priddy

 

[Niki Priddy]

She breathed slowly. The comment about leaving a hand open for the next strike making her frown. She was correct, but going against her nature was a difficult task.

She scooted around as Jade kept circling, eyes never leaving the woman before her as she moved to strike again.

[I[Leave an arm open.[/I]

Her own mental list to keep herself prepared as the first two strikes came in and were deflected. The third strike finding the point between those two attacks. Revealing a small blindspot to Niki as she felt it connect but couldn't see the attack, and her body moved to twist away again.

Her hands moving into that seemingly blank space to strike at a limb she couldn't completely make out.

Her face more confused than alarmed as her chin shot down to identify the spot.

 

[Jade Solus Skirae]

The spots she went for were her right rib cage, a light jab to her stomach and one to her right inner elbow, targeting the pressure point there, The rib cage strike was blocked, as was the elbow strike, the third strike that went in was for her stomach, it'd hurt and maybe knock some of the wind out of her but Jade was trying to hold back abit so she wouldn't cause too much damage to her sparring partner.

I am glad that your getting better I added the third strike to try and gauge reaction during the moment as sometimes an opponent will be relentless in a physical brawl so sometimes you need to be equally as relentless.


Niki Priddy

 

[Niki Priddy]

Niki narrowed her eyes, the blow to her stomach hadn't entirely winded her. But she certainly felt the burn of the strike as she steadied her breathing.

A slow in and out breath had her settling the rather nerve inducing strike.

"Noted." A frown dotting her features as she stepped back into place, shaking her hands out from the contact. The light sparring Matthew had put her through paled in comparison, but it was already making her adjust.

"Again, if you would." Niki pressed on, preparing once more, still tense and trying to figure out the moves rather than reacting.

Jade Solus Skirae

 

[Jade Solus Skirae]

She nodded, repetition is good so she returned to her stance and moved around her, she switched stances every once and awhile to keep Niki Priddy on her toes she didn't mind she found this quite fun actually, she attacked again with a 3 strike attack one to her left shoulder, one to her right ribs and one too her left leg was where she was aiming. Though she has no idea if they will all hit this time or not.

 

[Niki Priddy]

The woman was swapping styles, and earning a hard stare from Niki for it. Practice was indeed good for an ever changing fight. Especially with how many peculiar beings made up the wider galaxy.

She jumped at the first move from Jade.

Leaning back from the shoulder strike and sweeping her arm down to deflect the rib shot. The change in posture made it harder to avoid the hit to the leg, instead going from avoiding it to pushing against the strike to make an attack of her own.

Albeit, a wide but quick haymaker with how Niki spun.

Jade Solus Skirae

 

[Jade Solus Skirae]

She was very pleased with her response she managed to dodge and redirect every strike though she was also pleased that she took the leg strike and went for a counter of her own, when the haymaker came in she quickly raised her free hand and moved it across her arm to block and grab the hand before she smiled.

Learning quickly, thats good your catching on quickly.

She released her hand and backed off before she spoke again.

I would like to see how you fair on the offensive, so our roles shall be switched for this moment i'll be on defense you on offense and ill deliver some pointers after wards.

Niki Priddy

 

[Niki Priddy]

Niki huffed with effort. Plainly not used to so much exertion as the punch was blocked and grabbed. Surprise across her face as she caught herself from toppling over.

Having her hand grabbed gave her a point of balance at least.

"Ah. Thanks?" Not used to compliments when it came to fighting.

Jade backed away, informing her of the change. Niki frowned, shaking out her hands before nodding. The only time she'd gone on the offensive, she'd had several metric tonnes of steels to back up her intent.

Now she only had herself.

"I'll do my best." She settled into a more open stance, opting for something direct at first by trying to get closer with a dash towards Jade. Right hand dropping to waist level while the left rose to protect her face, the punch traveled in a flat arc until it was close enough to catch.

Sharply rising upward for an uppercut as she shifted her weight to put more behind it.

J Jade Isara

 

[Jade Solus Skirae]

She noted her exhaustion but she will adapt from this with practice in the long run she merely smiled and took a guard stance as she saw Niki Priddy , assuming a stance after her request. She eyed Niki's movements and body language.

She tightened her guard when she dashed for her causing her to go defensive too early, it was enough for Niki's punch to make it through as Jade attempted to grab her hand it wasn't enough to stop her uppercut from finding purchase on her body as she backed off from the punch.

Very well done, you'll become more lethal in no time. Lets try again I want to see you try and mix rather then just the one punch.

 

[Niki Priddy]

Success was a good primer.

Backing away to keep their respective distance as she nodded to the instructions. Shaking her legs a little with a frown. She'd always practiced with punches and throws, but mixing it up meant a bit more.

Tightening her hands into fists once more she swayed a little, beginning a rhythm as she tried to get close enough to deliver a low kick from the left aimed at shins before bearing down with a high downward punch from the right.

The kick was plainly awkward, angled in all the wrong ways as she fumbled into the attempted punch. Keeping her left arm tucked in to protect her ribs.
