What an excellent idea! I'll have to draft something up immediately. I'm sure the rest of the ship could benefit from a little discipline and training, and Yuri can make up for his poor attendance by helping to distribute them.
Out of curiousity, what sorts of weapons do you use? I wouldn't want to only run sword drills.
There's an idea! I can already guess that Yuri is going to be positively overjoyed at this chance to redeem himself, no doubt 😊
[Rip Yuri, have fun with that.......! Anyway--]
As to weapons: I personally prefer polearms myself, and have my own spear on hand currently. [(In hand, even, more literally...but let's not split hairs here!)] I do have the sort of very basic training in other arms that they tend to impress upon you during proper initial enlistment to the military...but I never could get the hang of swords, I'll admit. My actual specialty also lies in fonic artes, truth be told. But every now and then an enemy decides they want to get too close, you know?
I've always thought a balance of physical combat skills and artes was the best way forward as well. We can run drills for both. Perhaps Rita would like to get involved. If you have your weapon, I have always wanted a closer look at how a polearm is used.
There's something to be said for covering as many bases as possible when it comes to given skillsets, isn't there? I take it you're more of a mixed practitioner yourself? It's rather rare to find swordsmen who actively set out expand their focus beyond combat artes! At least where I'm from, at any rate...
Regardless, you can most certainly have a closer look at polearm uses when the time arrives! So long as you don't get close enough to end up on the business end of the spear, naturally 😊
we comin back in here in some downtime never let this die
If I don't get close enough to the business end then what is the point of training? Training is fun, of course, but the point is to be very familiar with what to do in a deadly situation. I can take it.
