How to Train Your Assassin (training, plotting, + handwavey post)  
Welcome to Bucky Bootcamp

If your character is currently training with Bucky, their experience is going to be... less than fun. He doesn't handle soly basic self-defense, and will make that clear from the get-go.

Outside of classes, he'll be expecting them to do conditioning work; running, strength training, practice drills, etc on a regular schedule. He'll allow leeway for events and extenuating circumstances but if they don't put in an honest effort, he will call it quits and try to hook them up with a teacher that's better suited to them.

Training itself will be grueling. You're welcome to handwave everything from sprains to extreme fatigue to bruises and blame it on him. (Just drop me a note here so I know for cr purposes.) He won't seriously hurt anyone (ie broken bones) but he will literally run them into the ground, and then get them up again for round 2. Expect a lot of sharp corrections and, if they're really impressive, maybe a nod of approval.

Bucky's MMA training in particular is relentlessly aggressive and offensive, but he will walk his students through strategies that best fit their stature and abilities. Expect a lot of emphasis on using your environment to your advantage, attacking the most vulnerable points on the body without hesitation, and ending fights as quickly and directly as possible.

As classes progress, expect to be ambushed occasionally, too. Just think of it like a pop quiz.

All classes are one-on-one. Including weapons training is always encouraged, but he's willing to respect a preference for avoiding it.

If you want to join the training roster, you can contact me here for plotting! Bucky doesn't offer open classes ICly, but I'd be happy to work something out for anyone who's interested.

Current training roster: Darcy & Billy

>> If it's okay with you, can we do something between these two? She has all this knowledge on fighting now, but no idea how to use it apart from muscle memory.

Maybe a log between them with her seeking him out to join his training program? Then we can handwave things if you want/are okay with this?
