As everyone gathered around, Olivia clasped her hands together and began speaking. "Alright everyone, today I thought I'd do something a little differently. I know this is combat class, and I won't be taking that away from you but I have an idea..." Olivia smiled as she went to the storage doors, opening it up and taking out a few nunchucks and passing it around to every other person.
"Usually we do hand to hand combat, which is of course the most realistic, and important one of all since we don't usually carry weapons. But what if our opponent has a weapon? Or what if you have one? No one should think that only using hands or legs as a weapon is a good idea when you have a knife or a brick right in front of you. So...today we'll be using nunchucks, something non-lethal but dangerous and painful. We will not be hitting full force, but I'd like for you to try and block, deflect, and attack with these. If you're in a situation where your enemy has a weapon, you need to know how to do these things."
Olivia gave one to Ket, but not one to Ashely, explaining why seconds later. "I want one person to defend, and one to offend. Then switch when you're ready. So for example, one has the nunchucks and attacks their partner, and that person must find a way to defend themselves with their own bodies. It's not easy, it will hurt, but it's essential to learn. Also if the offender thinks he or she is able to grab the weapon from their partner, try. Understood?" Olivia ended off.

Ket eyed the nunchuck in his hands, swinging it for a moment and then smiling when he looked at Ashley. "I'll go easy on you." he chuckled.
