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?

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.
