ten_fwd | Round 5 // Gym

Raiden had divested himself of his tabard and armor for the afternoon. Walking through the halls in just his Gi and some blue, cloth wrappings on his arms and legs, he practically looks dressed down, even though that hat and hood stay firmly in place.

He'd scheduled some time at the gym today for himself and friends/acquaintances (who have all been sent a standing invitation), but he would not be opposed to any drop-ins who were curious as well. Those who walk in will find him doing any number of katas or movement exercises he's learned over his many long years.

Since this is the gym, and not the holodeck, Raiden's invoking a no-magic/powers rule for anyone who joins him today. He'll be strictly following his own rule, unless someone blatantly breaks it. And since everyone who lives on the Enterprise is the honorable sort, this will never be a problem...right?

Raiden has worked with many such mortals with near superhuman capabilities, and some of them he's even helped go beyond into the realm of the impossible. He finds all work with mortals rewarding, but when he can help them go beyond, it's just that much more special.

Knowing that Sam already is fluent in Japanese, he shouldn't need to go into the details of formalities either. Instead, he begins with a calm explanation of the fact that there are many diverse forms of Jujutsu, and the one he has selected is actually a derivative called Aikido. It's a defensive form, focusing more on throws and locks that do not harm either attacker or defender.

forgive me, I don't actually practice Jujutsu/Aikido so kinda going to handwave a bit
