Rhargn Etn is an upstanding Citizen
With the specifics taught, Steelfold nodded to himself and began to grin at Rhargn. "Alright young un, you pretty much know the basics that'll keep you ahead of the dregs, now it's time to put it to the test against me." This said, the Dwarf backed off giving Rhargn a little space to prepare.

"Okay, just go easy to start." The titan replied as he pushed his left foot forward and turned to his side, welcoming on the attack from his mentor. As Rhargn awaited the attack, thoughts began to run through his head: thoughts on how lucky he'd been to have met the Dwarf, thoughts on how he was to keep his body flexible and not to tighten up, thoughts on his attacking and defensive posture, and even thoughts on how much he craved an ale.

"Haaaar!"

The practice bout had begun, and Steelfold swung at Rhargn's mid section, though as it did, a late switch flipped on, ordering him into the position he'd been show. Too late, the attack hit, creating a dreadful cracking sound. "Concentrate!" The next attack came, this time towards the mammoths knee cap, however, now aware of the pain Rhargn quickly thrust his lead leg backwards so that his right leg was infront, turning his body to the side and bouncing on his toes. The bar sailed straight past, as the ruffian saw his opperunity to strike. Gripping the shaft with both mighty hands, Rhargn brought the mace from up high, straight down towards Steelfolds head, which the Dwarf quickly rolled to the side from.

"Good, that's the way." Another attack shot forth, much quicker then the rest, it was directed towards the right arm of Rhargn. After a step back was taken it was clear the attack would still have hit, and so the ruffian, with arms bent, quickly moved his mace horizontally to his side, blocking the attack. Things seemed to be going well, especially once the flanged mace that headed for Steelfold's shoulders had to be blocked, though this was at the expense of a great jab to the stomach.

"Right,you've taken in what I've said. Now you just need to think before attacking. It's not worth hitting your opponent if they're going to be able to hit you once you've done. Wait till they have no way of replying to it."
