SELF-DEFENSE FOR DUMMIES (YOU KNOW YOU NEED IT)
It has been subtle. Several posters may have appeared during the week. They don't have any cat drawings or even fancy typography, in fact, they are not even large! It's forgivable you may have missed them.
The text in them is concise enough.
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
Thursday Morning, Dojo
Self-defense class
THE MOST BASIC CONCEPTS
as taught by Kogoro Mouri
It only took like five weeks before it finally happened.
The dojo is prepared for the event. The mats has been distributed until they covered most of the area. A few chairs have been taken from rooms downstairs and placed for anyone who comes.
All the way to the front there is Kogoro Mouri, dressed in an absolutely horrid neon yellow jumpsuit. It is better than fighting in a suit, at least. Yosuke Hanamura is there too, as Mouri's assistant for the class.
The general objective is not to turn people into competent fighters, because that'd be impossible. What Mouri wants is at least give an idea of what they could do, shown through very basic concepts. That should be good for something, right?

Yosuke's attack is so quick Mouri just forgets what this is supposed to be. His instinct takes over. He barely is able to jump back, just enough to avoid the strike. It was coming so quick his plan to disarm Yosuke would have failed, so he is forced to change plans.
The detective is pretty damn good at judo because he knows to use the opponent's strengths against them. Yosuke's speed also means quite a lot of impulse, which Mouri tries to use for his advantage, trying to grab the back of Yosuke's clothes, lifting the teenager in the air, ready to end the attack by actually using that same impulse to smash Yosuke against the mats, at the other side. It was actually a pretty difficult maneuver and would require a lot of practice to perform, not at all what Mouri had intended to show.
The problem is that Yosuke isn't an opponent in judo. He has his own advantages as well, and chances are he'll be able to use them]

So while he's being slammed he adjusts his hold on his 'knife' and throws it- aiming for the detective's core. Maaaybe he got a little too into it.]
1/2
While the maneuver Mouri used could be done with only one hand - and he did, lifting Yosuke was quite easy - the other one was mostly for his own balance. That's why he is defenseless against Yosuke's 'knife'. It actually impacts against him.
Mouri freezes in surprise, looking at the 'knife' as it fell to the mats. It takes him a moment to process everything that had happened, what he had done, where he was...
AHEM YOU SAW NOTHING EVERYONE what to say what to say]
Uuuuh...if this had been a real fight we both would have been...very hurt. Me, mostly. This isn't what...I thought would happen.
[But it wasn't a bad show, at least?]
Hm, first than all, please don't do what I just did. You need a lot of strength to lift anyone without losing your balance, and the foe can suffer severe impacts against their back and shoulder blades if this is done against the floor. We are not in condition to treat something like a broken back.
Second, remember these are not infallible techniques. Your opponent could have their own tricks and skills and they can use them anytime. You just saw it.
T-The intention of the demonstration was to show how to disarm your opponent...I was going to use my arms to hit Hanamura-kun's arm and take the chance to subdue him right after that.
[LESSON 2 WAS A BUST]
I think you can imagine how that goes. Give us a couple minutes to recover.
2/2
Think you can give a try to subduing me? So people see it isn't necessary to be bigger or stronger than the attacker to defend yourself?
no subject
Heh... sure. Sorry about that, Mouri-san
LESSON #3
[After a short rest because hey, both surely would need it, Mouri directs his attention to the bystanders]
Maybe you could have thought being bigger or stronger than your opponent is the key to defending yourself. That is not true. What you need is to know what you're capable of and be able to use it against the attacker.
To showcase the lesson the roles will be reversed. Hanamura-kun will defend and I will attack. I have no control of what they may do, but it is okay. I'll be able to interpret something from his actions and tell you what this was all about.
[Mouri at least plans to go easy on Yosuke. He did just find out Yosuke is good but better to not to go overboard. Mouri stands away and turns to his assistant]
Prepare yourself and tell me when you feel ready.

Alright. Bring it!
