The two boys began throwing punches at each other.  Mitch threw a punch at Bert and he was quick to duck.  Odessa had her back leaned against the big rock while Eli's arm resting above her head. Daniel got in the middle of fighting boys and tried breaking them apart.  "Hey, hey! You're just swinging at each other!" He looked back at Johnny with a crazed expression. "Don't you teach any defense?"
"Best defense is more offense." Mitch pointed out.
Bert used the opportunity to kick him in the side and sent him flying into the rock. Eli quickly grabbed Odessa and pulled her out of the way. "Holy. . ." Johnny started in shock. 
Mitch groaned from the ground. "Why do you have a rock in the middle of your dojo?"  Johnny questioned Daniel.
Bert walked back to the group of students and secretly gave Odessa a high five in victory.























Next, they moved to the area of the backyard where the deck was. This time fighting was Demetri and Sam.  Odessa sat on the deck with her legs crossed and  Oliver stood beside her with his arm resting on the top of her head. The pair circled each other slowly, not throwing any punches. Daniel nodded slowly. "That's it. Keep circling. Don't anticipate. Stay focused."
Grayson yawned from boredom.  
"One of you do something. What the hell is this?"  Johnny yelled out. 
Demetri dropped his arms. "Yeah,  that's not how this works. One of us has to be provoked." He huffed. 
Before anyone could blink, he threw a water bottle at the teenager. Everyone flinched back at the action. "Provoked yet?" Johnny questioned with a stupid grin on his face.
Grayson raised his hand. "Can I go? I've been working on my spin kick?" He begged his Sensei. 
"Sure, why not." 
He merrily hopped down from the deck and stood in front of Demetri.  
Oliver closed his eyes. "Oh, I can't look." He said and turned away. 
A scared look flashed on Demetri's face and he nervously got in his fighting stance. "Ready? Fight!"  Johnny shouted.
Before Demetri could do anything, Grayson quickly spun around and kicked his foot in his chest and sent him flying back a good foot. Everybody grimaced and slowly turned Grayson, looking at him with disbelief.  He shrugged.  "What? I have long legs."






















After making sure Demetri's heart was still beating, Daniel had all the students learn wax on and wax off.  He paired them off and had them stand by one of the cars. Odessa was paired with Hailey. "Wax on, wax off," he instructed as he walked by them. He showed them how to wipe in circular motions.  "It's doesn't matter how many times you've done it. You always need to practice your fundamentals."
She felt eyes open her from the other side. She looked over to see Eli staring at her as he washed Johnny's vehicle with Mitch and Bert. His lips were turned into a small smile. She flashed a row of white teeth at him,  her eyes bright. His face turned red and the small turned into a boyish grin.
"Quit with the googly eyes, Hawk! Get to cleaning!"  Johnny shouted at him, making him turn even more red in embarrassment.



























It went on for a while longer and the exhaustion was starting to get to everyone. They had set up obstacles courses. Right in front of Odessa was Eli and they waited in line as Sam ran through the bins. Chris,  who was spinning around with his head on a baseball bat,  suddenly started stumbling. "Oh man,  I think i'm going to barf." He let out.
