* Kyon heads into the room at a fair clip, and looks around. [The kendo room is empty!] * Kyon goes to a corner, and strips off his coat, earmuffs, and gloves. He lays them down in a corner with his bag, unzipping the bag while he's there, and takes out his sword. * Kyon looks around the room, undoes his boots, and puts them with the rest of it. He slides over towards one of the fencing strips, with a dummy at the end. * Kyon then raises the sword to stand vertical between his eyes, and falls into his stance, letting the sword fall to a ready position. He starts moving up and down the strip, using quick footwork. * Kyon moves back and forth, sliding, parrying the air, working his way down towards the dummy. * Kyon slides, jumps, and buries the point of the sword in the dummy's throat. He pulls it out as he comes down, and stabs in the chest area. * Kyon then stands, looks, moves a step back to thrusting range, and does a series of fast thrusts from the head down to the abdomen. * Kyon retreats two steps, then lunging back in. He breathes out a few words in Chinese, then stand back at a ready position. * Kyon pulls the sword tip in a quick slash, then back into the salute position, and down to his side. He stalks back to his bag and stuff. * Kyon stores the sword, then looks at his hand. He flexes it, and lets a little fire play across his fingertips. Then he clenches his fist, puts it out, and redresses. * Kyon gathers his stuff, and leaves, heading back towards the lockers.
