Chapter 20 - Beating Up Koga (1/2)

During the same night when Kenichi was having his moments with Miu and Shigure Haruo was collecting information on the three man team.

He watched them secretly as the three of them were fighting against a gang ”These three are strong!” thought Haruo.

”Koga's kick! ,Ukita's throws! and Takeda's punches!! ” he thought in his mind as he saw Koga fighting against two guys and beating them with just his kicks while Ukita used one of the guy and throwed him on his two freinds while finally Takeda who only used his right fist to beat 3 to 4 guys at a time by his punches.

”If it's these guys then maybe they will help Kenichi in his martial arts training” Haruo said.

Takeda looked in the direction where Haruo was hiding as he heard some noise from there but Haruo has already ran away from that place and was thinking ”The delinquent 'Ragnarok' group is powerful but since they had decided to mess with Kenichi there era may end here”.

Ryozanpaku Dojo

Kenichi is middle of the training under Sakaki-sensei and Sakaki was trying to teach him one of his karate techniques Gamaku (oblique waist turn in English) and Meotoude (Married Couples Hand in English)

[GAMAKU is An ancient Karate technique that allows the user to pretend to stand on one leg, but actually stand on the other leg. The opponent is fooled by the stance and defends for the wrong leg, even thinking that the user is stepping forward but actually is taking a back step. They then see the wrong leg move forward when actually the opposite leg comes in unexpectedly.

This move uses the oblique muscles to switch the leg with the center of gravity, separating the balance between the upper and lower body. When most people kick, the upper body leans to signal which leg is being used. However, the center of gravity is actually on the grounded leg, which kicks the opponent.]

[MEOTOUDE One of the most practical methods to use one's body, it uses both hands for offense and defense. Most karate stance keep their inactive hand ”the hand of death” at their waist for defense. This however takes longer to attack but with meotude the opponent sees the front attack and in less than a second the second hand delivers an attack that makes them cough blood.

Meotoude is a way of moving both of your fists at the same time without separating them. This technique involves both hands to attack and defend. The front hand is used to fend off any incoming attacks, as well as to attack. The back hand is also used for defense, and it is used as the surprise attack.]

Sakaki explained the techniques to Kenichi while he also performed it infront of him so that he could get a general idea of it.

Kenichi after understanding the techniques fist started his practice on meotoude it but he was called by Kensei Ma within 10 minutes.

”To teach him how to punch faster! I will teach him a Chinese exercise” Kensei Ma said

”Don't interrupt it's my time to teach!” Sakaki said being a little pissed.

”Look isn't it my turn?” Kensei Ma said showing him a clock.

”Che, it's already this late” Sakaki said while kicking the ground making a small pit there.

”You are still not done yet? you should manage your time better” said Kensei Ma.

”Now follow me Kenichi?” said Kensei.

”Raise your hands above your head and stretch them fully” Kensei Ma said.

”Like this” said Kenichi while following his orders.

”Then raise your arms up, give them a shake and bring them back down!! relax it when you give them a good shake” Kensei said while doing it himself to show Kenichi how to do it properly and he followed.

”Yes Good do it slowly as you change your arms position, do it till you fibers in your arms stretch to the point where it fells like you are flying” Kensei said.

”Sensei are you serious I don't think this will be of any help to me” Kenichi replied while getting a little annoyed.

”You are a talent in martial arts but that doesn't mean we can skip the basics, walk around the whole block repeating that exercise” said Kensei Ma.

Kenichi follows Ma-sensei's instructions and as he went outside of the dojo he sees Miu following her in her body suit.

”Miu!?” Kenichi called.

”You don't know this area do you, I will go with you, since it would be troublesome if you go missing” Miu said.
