After a half of a candle mark and about a gallon of cool water elros was ready to go again. Still his muscles burned, but that was the best time to teach his muscles what they needed to know.

"On your feet, boy," the master said to Elros, "It's time to learn your basic punch. The katta have the distinct advantage to be able to punch becuase they can draw and withdraw thier claws as they want. We, however, cannot due to the fact that we don't have natural claws. Infact most of the time you'd use large blades that attach to your hands called Nekodes. Now, get into your stance and listion closely to what I say."

Elros put himself into possition easily, it felt much more at home now and his muscles were more familiar with it. He listioned closely to his master as he explained the proper form to do a normal punch. Your hand, wrist, and forarm must be a strait line, and your hand will twist as you punch to increase the power of your strike. He demostrated slowly at first and started to speed up the strikes. He then turned to Elros and said, "Alright, your turn. Take it slow at first."

Elros nodded and then he pushed his fist forwrd twisting his hand and arm in as he went. He kept his hand strait in line with his fist. "Good," he heard Markner say, "Now, Faster."

Elros picked up speed, slightly. He didn't want to out pace himself so early in the game. "Your doing alright, remember your stance. Your foot work. Good alternating between hands. Thats right, good correction. Now, faster."

Again he increased his speed, he was throwing punches at a regular rate at this point. He minded his stance and kept thinking about the movements of his arms. He started to work up a sweat and soon the burning in his arms and legs came back. He pushed himself though, and picked up speed. "Good. Looks like you've got that down," Master Markner said cooly.

"I think that is enough training for today, so go ahead and rest up tonight. Don't do anything to strenuous or you'll hurt yourself for tomarows training. Tomarow we will talk about kicks and more punches as well," Markner concluded, he was done with Elros for the day, and so he turned a cold shoulder to the Elf and went back to kicking the manaquine into the ground.
