My name is Alan, originally from 21st century Earth.

I'm looking for sparring partners. I'm familiar with a wide variety of martial arts, unarmed and weapon-based. If you're keen, you can find me here.

​​​​[ Enclosed are directions to a dojo in Olympia; he'll be there all day. ]

If there's enough of us, I'd like to start a regular group. ​​​​[ we're all in this together.mp3 ] We can learn a lot from each other.

​​​​[ eta: here is a log for direct action needs. you are also welcome to jump to action directly in the post. ]

What techniques are you familiar with?

[shashka]

Oh, this and that.

[ never let your opponent know exactly what you can do. ]

I was an officer Spetsnaz GRU before arriving here.

[ but he'll give him that so he doesn't think he's a total amateur. ]

[beknight]

How long?

[shashka]

About twenty-four years.

[ plus, earlier training even before that. ]

[beknight]

[ Staying alive that long is nothing to sneeze at. He offers, ]

Twenty years on the job for me.

[ So they might be looking at an equal level, assuming this gentleman has no special enhancements. ]

[shashka]

[ pretty good.. ]

That's impressive.

Special forces?

[ he was, only a guy with a gun. and possible latent psychic powers. but those weren't going to help him out any time soon. ]

[beknight]

Bodyguard. Politicians and businessmen, more of the latter than the former.

[shashka]

I can respect that. A friend of mine back home ran his own private organization for years.

[beknight]

What time will you be here?

[shashka]

ASAP, if that works for you.

[beknight]

It does. I'll see you soon, then.
