Demonstrations [Kazumi]

Tammy nodded and smiled, stretching a little bit and giving herself a little shake off. "Mmm, thank you. I'll work better on it," Tammy said, and while she noticed Kazumi's slight blush, the teacher didn't want to comment on it either. Tammy honestly didn't care that anyone who paid even a remote amount of attention could notice her red panties, but if Kazumi wasn't going to say anything, then there would be less awkwardness. That was all cool with her. At last Kazumi asked Tammy if there was anything else she wanted to try, and Tammy noticed that Kazumi wanted to become an instructor (which pointed Tammy to the fact Kazumi might want to own her own dojo). "Hmm, actually, Miss Hoshino," Tammy said, suddenly she had an idea. "Since I actually didn't bring that many boards with me, how about you help me out a little? I'm actually looking to branch out a little and learn something a little more foreign in style. Could you help me out with that?"

"I think I could do that," Kazumi said. Mu-sensei wanted to branch out, huh? Well, she'd come to the right place for that. Although Kazumi specialized in karate and aikido, she was learning a lot of different styles. Even a couple foreign ones thanks to a friend of the family. She was hoping to add even more to what she already had, but right now she was still in a reasonably good position to give Mu-sensei an introduction to something different. "What would you like to try? I'm at dan level in shourin-ryuu karate and aikido, and I know enough kendo and jiu-jitsu to at least give an introduction. I could give you an introduction on Okinawan weapon kata as well, but...I don't have any of them with me at the moment. Whether or not I can even have some of them at school here is still up in the air."

Kazumi said she thought she could do it, which brought a smile to Tammy's lips. Eventually Kazumi displayed some knowledge of mostly Japanese martial arts but Tammy was sure she knew more than that, too. She had the capability to learn. And she had the passion for it too. Tammy couldn't put it past her if she did know more than what she mentioned. "Dan-level? That's very impressive for someone of your age. Even where I'm standing now you do inspire me," Tammy said, smiling brightly. "By the by, you mentioned you know aikido? I have been having a growing interest in Aikido. Could you teach me? I'll even call you my 'sensei' if you like~" Tammy grinned. She was quite respectful to her peers in martial arts, a value her mother instilled into her when she was young. No matter how old someone was, if they were impressive in martial arts or knew more than you did, you respected them and hoped to learn something from them. In this case, Kazumi was probably a decade her junior, but Tammy was confident she could have a positive learning experience.

"I earned it last year. Actually, with aikido that was the earliest I could earn it. There's apparently a minimum age." Kazumi giggled a little at Mu-sensei's comment about...well, calling her 'sensei'. "That...won't be necessary," Kazumi said. "But I can teach you, yes. Up to where I've learned so far, given enough time." She hadn't expected her first proper student to be one of her teachers, but it wasn't a bad development. Especially not someone as attractive as Mu-sensei...n-not that that mattered. "If you'd like to get started now, then I'd like to run you through a few more stretches first. Aikido requires you to be limber, especially if you're working with someone else."

If Mu-sensei consented, Kazumi would run her through a number of arm and hand stretches, some of which required her to bend or twist her hands and wrists in unnatural ways. She explained the reasoning for this to be that several aikido techniques involved putting the target in similar positions, and stretching like this beforehand made it easier on the practitioner's partner. Once they were done, Kazumi put Mu-sensei through a few more warm-up exercises as well.

"That should do it. There's one more important thing to remember when you're working with someone in aikido, and that's that you're going to fall a lot. I'm assuming you know how to fall without hurting yourself?"

Tammy nodded, realizing that this young gun was much stronger than she initially judged. Nodding excitedly as Kazumi expressed an intent to help Tammy get started immediately if she wished, the teacher consented and let Kazumi run her through the plethora of arm and hand stretches, some of which tested the limits of her flexibility. Fortunately for Tammy they were not terribly painful and it would show to Kazumi that she was somehow already used to such things. Tammy understood the importance of being in the state where one could experience the various sensations that one felt when undergoing the training. Finally, Kazumi asked Tammy if she knew how to break fall. "They call that ukemi, yes? Actually, all my mother just told me is that if I were suddenly thrown to the ground, I'd have to receive it by rolling. I might need a refresher course on that, but I think I shouldn't be too far off, unless you care to enlighten me on the proper technique." Tammy said, showing an enthusiasm to learn despite who she was talking to.

Of course half of the reason why Tammy was so willing in the first place was that Kazumi looked pretty attractive, but never mind that. Now wasn't the time for such thoughts. 

"Rolling is something a little different, actually. You can't always roll, especially when you're just training," Kazumi explained. There were situations where you wanted to roll out of a throw, yes, but in her experience, it was more useful to get away from danger than recovering from it. "Okay, so what you want to do is tuck your head in, bend your knees, and fall back like so." Kazumi tilted her head forward and fell backwards, so that her whole body hit at almost the same time. She spread her arms out as she did, smacking the ground with her palms at the moment of impact. "You want to try and make sure everything hits at the same time, to minimize impact on any one part of the body."

She would work Mu-sensei through falling backwards, first from a crouching position, then from standing. Then she'd demonstrate falling forward and to the side. Both techniques were simple once the basics were understood: fall as flat as possible, and use the hands to absorb some of the impact without focusing it entirely on them. Once they'd practiced all of them a few times, Kazumi laid on her back for a little longer after her last fall before pulling herself up into a sitting position. "When I started, I did nothing but falls and rolls for my first several classes. I'd like to do a little more with you to get you started, but if you want to make this a regular thing, I'll be starting you with this for each lesson."

Tammy nodded as Kazumi explained her stuff again, and she just stood listening intently. Tammy honestly hadn't learned most of this stuff before; so it was quite new to her, as her disciplines that she was familiar with didn't really deal with actually receiving throws - of course, if you couldn't avoid danger, you'd counter it and throw it back at the opponent anyways. Tammy watched as Kazumi demonstrated how to do things properly, pointing out that everything should hit at the same time to minimize impact on any one part of the body. Tammy then worked with Kazumi through the steps; falling backwards first from crouching and then standing. After some time, Tammy started to get the rhythm of things but sometimes would mess up a little, since she was still a newcomer to the whole thing.

"That sounds good to me," Tammy said after a few repetitions of practicing the fall, and she heard Kazumi say that when she started, she did nothing but falls and rolls for the first several sessions. Tammy didn't really have anything against this course of action. "Good to practice it as much as possible after all.

"Exactly," Kazumi said. "Someone once told me that you're not an expert at something until you've done it at least ten thousand times. They...may have been exaggerating, or in some cases they may have been understatement. Either way, practice and repetition are important. Now then, I promised you a bit more, so let's get to the fun stuff. For the first rank of aikido you need to know..."

Kazumi started to walk Mu-sensei through several of the basic, first rank grab defenses for aikido. First with one wrist, then with both wrists, then at the lapels. She had to be a little careful with Mu-sensei's qipao, and since she hadn't come planning to teach she changed into a gym uniform rather than her gi, but she made do. And it would soon become apparent why they stretched the way they did, with some of the defenses Kazumi demonstrated. She also explained how some of the basic techniques would lead into other techniques at higher ranks, and demonstrated this by walking through one of them that would break the attacker's grip, then wrap one arm around the attacker's arm to hit a pressure point near the waist, then use the other to force the attacker to the ground.

Naturally, this ended with Mu-sensei on the ground, after which Kazumi leaned over and offered to help her up. "I think that's a good place to stop today," she said.

Kazumi made a remark about practice, which made Tammy laugh. Eventually Tammy was guided and walked through the basic, first-rank grab defenses of aikido. Though Tammy insisted it wasn't necessary, Kazumi appeared to be a little careful with Tammy's qipao. The various stretching and body contortions made it evident why she was so careful, but it also probably gave Kazumi more closeups of Tammy's skin and legs than she might have been able to handle for a day. Tammy tried her best to follow the instructions and realized the importance of having a good foundation, after all that was how one became proficient at martial arts, by being an expert on the fundamentals and the basics. Finally, though Tammy was on the ground, Kazumi leaned over to offer to help her up. Tammy graciously accepted the help.

"Thank you," Tammy said, bowing. "...For teaching me. Now, we're all kind of puckered out from all that, why don't we take a break? Come follow me." Tammy smiled as she took Kazumi's hand gently and began to lead her to the special changing rooms which were meant for faculty and students with medical problems, or physical impediments, and such. These changing rooms were typically not as occupied as the normal changing rooms for students.

Kazumi's face was rather flushed by the end of the training session. She hadn't worked up as much of a sweat as usual, in part due to the exercises she had walked Mu-sensei through being more intricate than physically demanding (falling not included), but...well, Mu-sensei's manner of dress had led to a lot of very nice views of the teacher's...very nice legs. She would have to discuss that with her for next time, particularly if they were going to train somewhere where other people could be watching again.

But for the moment, since they were still in the gym, Kazumi didn't say anything. She bowed to Mu-sensei in return, then was a little surprised when the teacher took her hand and led her towards the special changing rooms. "O-oh, of course," she said, deciding not to object. She doubted that she'd actually get in trouble if a teacher brought her there.

Tammy yawned as she sat herself down on one of the benches in the changing room, stretching her legs out and giving Kazumi yet another nice view of her legs. "There's less people in here - and I mean actually just us, so actually, I've been meaning to ask you," Tammy said. "Have I... Been distracting you in any way? I think what I've been wearing might have had something to do with it. You know what color I was wearing today, right?" Tammy giggled teasingly, giving the young martial artist a teasing, almost sultry wink. Tammy wondered idly how the girl would respond to it, given that as they were training, Kazumi was showing Tammy through most of the steps rather intricately, which would end up in some... compromising positions throughout.

Oh. Right, she jumped right into it. Kazumi's face lit up again as she sat down as well, now having a considerably more difficult time keeping her eyes off Mu-sensei's legs. "Yeah, that...I've been meaning to mention that," Kazumi said. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't like what I saw, but in the future I think it would be too distracting if you wore something similar. Not to mention, there are other people around in the gym, so unless I manage to get a more private training room in the future, it could cause problems."

Normally, Kazumi would be incredibly worried about getting in trouble for being so direct, especially about liking what she saw. But since the teacher had initiated it, it was probably fine. It had to be, or else this was about to be one of the rare times someone saw Kazumi upset. But there was no way that Mu-sensei would tease her like that and then not accept a positive response, right?

Almost as an afterthought, she said "Red" very softly.

As Kazumi started talking about how Tammy had been exposing the color of her underwear and how distracting it was, mentioning that it would be too distracting. Fortunately Tammy hadn't counted on being taught something new today so it was a one-off. However, Tammy just smiled when Kazumi exclaimed she'd be lying if she said she didn't like what she saw. And she did see it too, given that after all that she said Tammy was wearing red. Which she was. Tammy giggled and wrapped an arm around Kazumi. "Don't worry, dear. You just caught me at a good time when I was trying to practice my kicks in more obstructive clothing. I doubt you'd see me wearing something like that again, unless you'd prefer if I did," Tammy giggled. "Seriously, though. I'm not mad. I find it pretty cute, actually. You're pretty attractive yourself." she said with a straight face, though she didn't keep Kazumi away from her side, keeping her close with that arm.

"I'd love to continue learning from you, Miss Hoshino. And next time I'll wear more appropriate attire. Hehe"

Kazumi was good at a lot of things. She prided herself in that, even, and actively pushed herself to be good at more things. But resisting the charms of a beautiful woman was not one of them. Even if Mu-sensei was her teacher, she couldn't help but find her incredibly attractive, and the moment she put an arm around her, she felt a sudden desire to experience much, much more. While it was good that Mu-sensei agreed to wear something more appropriate next time, Kazumi managed to focus on everything else. Namely, Mu-sensei's arm and the way she claimed that she found Kazumi to be attractive as well.

"Don't...don't tease me," she said, blushing intensely. She looked at Mu-sensei expectantly, suggesting that backing off wasn't actually what she wanted from the teacher.

Tammy smiled softly as it appeared that Kazumi could not back away. Tammy couldn't tell if Kazumi wanted to back off or not, but the point is she remained, even blushing intensely as she told Tammy not to tease her. Her expectant look hinted to Tammy that she might want something. All the teacher did was tenderly and gently stroke Kazumi's cheek. "Tell me, what would you like? If you could have me to yourself for the rest of the morning, what would you like~?" Tammy grinned almost mischievously. "Depending on what you say, I might grant your wish~ I can't refuse the request of a beautiful youth such as yourself. Strong and bright~" Tammy said happily.

Was this...really happening? Mu-sensei hadn't stopped teasing, but all of a sudden she made it sound like she was willing to make good on it. 'For the rest of the morning' as she said. Well, Kazumi didn't actually have any more classes until after lunch, so that would be fine. But even so, she hesitated at the thought of actually going any farther with a teacher. Age wasn't a factor, but the relationship of authority and the fact that both of them would get in serious trouble if it was found out...

No. She was willing to go farther, yes. But she couldn't bring herself to actually say so directly. Mu-sensei would have to be the one to initiate it. "I would want you to make good on all the teasing you're doing right now," she said.

Tammy looked at Kazumi expecting some kind of whimsical answer, but what came out of the student's mouth instead was a pleasant surprise. So Kazumi was turning it back on Tammy; well, that was quite clever of her indeed. Also a bit feisty, and Tammy liked some fight in her women. Or young ladies, as it were. "Well, I mean, come to think of it, we should probably be hitting the showers, right? You know how it goes." Tammy grinned mischievously. "'Cause I'm all sweaty and icky and stuff. Naturally, I'll insist you join me."

That would be the counterattack of Tammy. If Kazumi was really into her, she would probably leap at the chance to be able to... casually clean herself up with Tammy. Or something more. Who knew?

Oh, was that how it was going to be? Kazumi couldn't really argue with that...or resist it, for that matter. It was an opportunity. And a trap, of the most pleasant sort. Mu-sensei must have known that she wouldn't say no, so it was the perfect chance to...well, that would have to wait until they got there. "Of course," Kazumi said. "I'll join you. I do need to take a shower, and I'd hate to refuse if you're insisting." This woman was a relentless tease, but it seemed like this was about to go somewhere after all. Kazumi could only hope that she would survive the experience.

"Great," Tammy grinned. "So it's settled. Come with me." Tammy said as she began to ready herself to hit the changing room showers. She expected Kazumi to be right there with her. And eventually the pair of them began to get cleaned up.

***

That was probably way too long to be in the changing rooms, but Tammy honestly didn't really mind. It was an experience she probably didn't want to be sharing casually with anyone, but it was pretty memorable. Tammy liked Kazumi a lot and she really did genuinely want to learn more from her on Aikido, but she just couldn't help herself. Kazumi looked beautiful and she was really cute when she was all flustered like that. "See, now that felt good, didn't it?" Tammy said as she was drying herself off.

Kazumi's face was red as she dried herself off. Though she'd been looking so happily at Mu-sensei a moment ago, now that she was out of the shower she was thinking more clearly. And now that she was thinking more clearly, she was coming to realize that everything about what had just happened was a bad idea. She couldn't deny that she liked it, but for her own sake she couldn't afford to let it happen again. Not only had she gotten rather intimate with a teacher (itself something that would probably get both of them thrown out if anyone knew), but it would complicate her relationship with Linhua as well.

Not that she'd...actually confessed any interest in Linhua or anything. But she had definitely felt it.

"It did," Kazumi admitted. She was honest if nothing else, even in light of what she was about to say next. "But...this was a bad idea. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, and I'd be more than happy to do it again. But we shouldn't. Sorry."
