The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "I want to give you a lesson tonight."

You ask the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "on'a wha?"

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Defensive use of your weapons.  Apparently the Byn didn't teach you much."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "welp, lets'a get to it.."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to the short, curly haired fellow, in sirihish:
     "We'll be around if you need us, sir."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "You know the tap method, hmm?  They should teach that in the Byn."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "hmmm..Les'a go over it, an' I'll tell yas if'n I know it.."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man asks you, in sirihish:
     "If a person swings his weapons at you, you lightly tap it to the side so it 
misses you.  Sound familiar?"

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "Umm...yeap.."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "I do it'a all the time.."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Good.  Now we'll go straight to a more advanced technique."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "It's called the circle-parry."

You nod.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Now, this is not as easy as the tap, but it has some advantages."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf swings your slim wooden training club in a half-circle 
in front of his body.

Holding his club out, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "The basic motion is a circle, the path you move your club through"

The hefty, broad-shouldered man swings his arm in a one-cord circle infront of himself, 
holding his club out.

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf mimicks the hefty, broad-shouldered man's stance and 
holds his clubs in front of his body.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Now....hold your club out, as if you were to attack me."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf slowly swats your slim wooden training club down at 
the hefty, broad-shouldered man, stopping just before making contact.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "Good.  Hold it there."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man raises his club.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "Now...watch...my hand will be moving on the edge of the imaginary circle as I move it."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man moves his arm up the inside of the circle as he bring his 
club up to meet your club.

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf watches the hefty, broad-shouldered man as he swings his weapon.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "Now...notice how I'm bringing my club up and you're moving your club down.  Your clup is 
over mine."

You nod.

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "ok now I try it.."

Moving his club over the top of the circle as he twists his wrist, the hefty, 
broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "You move your club up the circle and over, turning it so that it moves over your 
opponents club."

Grinning, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "It ain't over yet, I said this was a tricky one."

You nod.

Holding his club out, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "Now you'll notice that my club is over your club and I'm in control."

Adding, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "You'll also note that you do this really fast in a real fight, not pausing to talk 
about it."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "I would'a hope so.."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man grins as he starts to move his club again.

Pushing your club downward as he moves his arm down the outer side of the circle, the 
hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "You then continue around the other side, twisting your wrist."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf lowers his weapon as the hefty, broad-shouldered man 
continues going through the motions.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "You then fling their weapon to the side, as you bring your club back around to 
where you started."

 hefty, broad-shouldered man brings his club around the bottom of the circle and back 
 up one side.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "The flinging will knock your opponents weapon out of the way and they'll be off 
ballance, and you also use tho push to bring your weapons back into position so you can 
hit them back."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf nods a few times.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "You have to get the twisting of the wrist right, so their weapon is pushed 
off in the right way."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "You also have to go through the circle fast before the force of their swing 
knocks the circle out of shape."

You ask the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "I see, so's, twistin' my wrist, and'a speed is the key he'ah?"

The hefty, broad-shouldered man nods.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "And you have to do this all in a single moment.  But the advantages are 
devastating."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "I see.."

You ask the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "I figger'n that circle'a bring me club right ready ta crack 'em in the head right?"

Grinning, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Exactly."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "If truth be told, swords are better for this technique, but hammers work 
fine if you remember to take into account the shape of the hammer-head."

You nod.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Now, slowly bring your club at me, I'll show you how it goes in one motion."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf swings his club down at the hefty, broad-shouldered 
man, stopping just before contact.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man brings his club up to meet your club, and with a 
twist of his wrist he swings his club in a circle and flings it to the side.

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "Ah, it seems'a some'n simple.."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "It looks easy, once you have the technique right.  I've been doing this for 
twenty four years, remember."

You nod.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man raises his club.

Moving his club down on you, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Now you try it."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf raises his club and swats at the hefty, broad-shouldered 
man's weapon, then with a sharp twist of the wrist, swings the club in a circle about his body, 
tossing the hefty, broad-shouldered man's arm, and weapon to one side.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Well...a bit clumbsy, but you get the idea."

You nod.

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "thats what I'ma thinkin'"

Bringing his club back, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "You have to keep the motion more circular, you'll need that in a fight, since the 
motion is so fast."

Bringing his club down on you, the hefty, broad-shouldered man says, in sirihish:
     "Again."

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf raises his club and swats at the hefty, broad-shouldered 
man's weapon, bringing it into a quick circular motion, and flinging it to one side.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Better."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Remember, if you miss when you swing at my club your arm will be way out to the 
side and you're whole side will be open to me hitting you."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Swing a little to the inside to compensate for that."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "hmm, lets'a do it again an' see if'n I knows what yas tryin' ta say.."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "To put it more exactly, meet my club a little higher on the circle, so you're 
swinging out when you hit it - and coming from the inside."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man raises his club and slowly brings it down upon you.

In one quick, sharp swing, the mammoth, grey skinned dwarf makes contact with the 
hefty, broad-shouldered man's weapon with his own, and in a swift circular motion, flings it to the side.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Better.  Bit more motion with the wrist now.  You're getting it."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man raises his club again and slowly brings it down on you.

The mammoth, grey skinned dwarf swings his club close to his body, striking 
the hefty, broad-shouldered man's weapon, and with a quick twist of the wrist, 
swings it in a circle in front of his body, tossing the weapon and the hefty, 
broad-shouldered man's arm off to one side.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man nods.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "Good.  Still a bit clumbry but that'll come with time."

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "I think you're ready to try that out in sparring."

the hefty, broad-shouldered man instructs you in the skill of 'parry'.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man raises his club and takes a step back from you.

The hefty, broad-shouldered man says to you, in sirihish:
     "I hope that all was understandable."

You say to the hefty, broad-shouldered man, in sirihish:
     "More'n less ole hat, but I'll be give'n this new style a try..."
