Ryker was never that good at it because he was always better hitting something that moved like a real target. After a rather strong combination his roommate calmed down and started on a simple combination of jabs and straights, which let Ryker ease up on the control of the bag. "I have some clothes that I brought with me into Juvi, and the rest of my shit is probably a couple miles above the ocean on a an air force hanger if I know my old man." There was the more interesting question about why he was at Freemont, and if he had been in Knox. "No, my old man is in the military, I sign on with all of it, but he kept me out of military school because he didn't want me to spend my while life in the service. So taht's why I came to Freemont after Juvi, he wanted me to stop following him around to the different bases." « Last Edit: Jun 4, 2009 19:49:48 GMT -6 by ryker » Back to Top   kiet Guest [send pm] Joined: January 1970 Posts: 0 Bonding through work out (Ryker, Open) « Jun 6, 2009 9:43:49 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Did he say Juvi, why yes he did say Juvi, great. His mind probed the depth of this oh so simple statement. What caused his room mate to be in Juvi, something simple or something complex. It was simple, his mind was trying to pass judgment even though his past almost had him go to Juvi as well. The other question seemed to be far more informative about his room mate. Though the answers would create even more questions at the same time. Sounds like a nice enough dad, but with such interest in the military why the delinquency bit. Also, those eye brows are HUGE! He paused from his punches to shake his head clear for a moment. He'd take a step forward and start doing elbows to the bag. The elbow attacks would remain fairly light as he worked on form over power at the moment. "My dad was never in the service but I always considered doing some time in the military. My mom's side all the men enlisted, I always hear from them it's a man's duty to fight for his country." He'd let out a little smile, even though Ryker likely couldn't see it. "You mind if I ask why you were in Juvi, to be honest I just barely avoided going there myself."

"Well it looks like we both have military families, and neither of us are at Knox. Go figure." Raising his hand he rubbed his forehead, the gym was pretty damn hot. "Eh, Juvi?" He thought back, as it was something he was trying to block out. It still pissed him off quite a bit. "Oh it happened when I was in Arizona, second day of school." Thinking back to it he could still see the bastards smug grin in the court room, making Ryker want to break his face again. "Some trust fund asshole took a swing at me, I broke his face, he got a lawyer four times as expensive as mine, and I wound up in Juvi for a fucking year."

It really wasn't that bad if you just go with the flow." He was starting to loose interest in hitting the bag and figured they should change positions soon. Though if that was the case he'd finish strong. Both his hands would press to the bag and hold it lightly while he began doing fast upward knee strikes. It was the same motion he'd take to do body shots in a clinch. Listening to the story he couldn't help but feel a little connected. It wasn't too far off from what had happened to him. Some dumb bully who couldn't take a punch getting hurt then running to daddy. Well actually his opponent couldn't run so much as hobble to daddy with the broken leg. "Looks like we've both had some bad breaks to end up here." He wouldn't bother to elaborate unless Ryker showed an interest. "Let's switch up." With just those simple words he let his feet both rest on the ground and grabbed the bag pretty tight. Ryker had a more power strike style from what he saw and he'd need to keep a good grip.

Well, that and he didn't want me to head for the Seals instead of the Marines." He said as they switched positions, just feeling chatty now that he knew they had similar experiences. Ryker stepped back from the bag now that it was signaled that they would be switching. Stepping back he dropped back into a stance, looking at the bag like it was about to take a shot at him. Stepping forward with a heavy right cross his fist slammed into the bag, the metal chain rattled heavily as the power of the impact was transfered through the bag. The blow was heavy, the exact same thing he used on the trust fund asshole, but there was something that Kiet would notice. He didn't throw another punch to slip into a combination, which he could do fairly well in real life fighting. Against the bag he just wanted to hit as hard as he could, test himself, which showed when he twisted himself into a brutal left hook after resetting his stance.

It was only because of experience with people who hit even harder that he kept the bag from moving too far. His father was one of those people, especially with his kicks. Of course he wouldn't let that put him off guard. Shifting to put his shoulder into the bag he felt the left hook. He rocked slightly with the bag to absorb the damage before quickly resetting. This kind of strength from just push ups and other minor training. This guy either has really good genetics or is one stubborn bastard. He wasn't really sure how to continue the conversation so decided to steer it an other way. "So other than training and punching me what are your hobbies?"

Although there was still the few he made up for it with technique, like spreading his body weight, bracing so he could just press his weight into it. "Hobbies? Maybe you misheard me, my dad is in the military. If I wasn't training, I was studying, if I wasn't training or studying I was asleep. Maybe some sports here and there, but that's about it." Setting himself back while he spoke he considered what other kind of blow he should try. With a grin he stepped back and decided he'd show off something a little flashier. He'd learned from a martial artist in one of his many new homes. He stepped forward sideways, moving his left past his right, and raised his right foot up as he guided the kinetic energy through his right leg as it shot out and the bottom of his foot smashed into the heavy bag. Being far from perfect it wasn't going to blow anyone away, but everyone who had seen a Bruce Lee movie would recognize the side kick.

It was true that military life or at least the academy left little time for much else. That was why he had tried so hard to get transferred, and perhaps that was already starting to pay off. Delinquent or not Ryker seemed like a decent guy who he could get along with. Rolling with the bag taking the hit he watched with amusement at Ryker's kick. Not because it was or was not bad, but because of his choice of moves. It seemed like he leaned very far away from his own choices, far too flashy for Kiet's taste. He felt like he was learning a lot about his room mates personality rather than just boring facts now. "I guess you've seen a lot of different places with your fathers traveling. You at least get to see a few sites? I've never seen much of the U.S. but California. Though I did get to go with my father on a few summer breaks to Thailand to see some of his family."

He was feeling awkward thanks to Kiet's question, so he just leaned his shoulder into the bag and practiced short ranged body blows, driving himself against the bag slightly with every punch. "I've seen more military bases and foreign schools than I have my own country, Kiet." He spoke with a bitter tone, which surprised him. He had never known he was upset about that, it just swelled up like bile and stayed trapped on the back of his tongue.

Unpleasant as well as making you feel slightly disgusting. This accompanied by the major shift in Ryker's position gave the impression it was a day. So now time to make an exit. "Hey let's call it a day so I can go see some men about that equipment." Coming off the bag he'd take an other sip of his water before stuffing it in his bag. Then finding his towel giving himself a lazed once over. Proceeding to stuff that in the bag as well he'd turn toward Ryker. With the bag set to resting on his shoulder he'd give a smile. "If you go out to the left, go 4 blocks down. Take a left there and it's a straight shot to school. Only about a mile going that way." He was slightly amused to find out if Ryker would be annoyed. They had taken such a longer run when there was such a short route.

He had quite the stamina and he was expecting a little more. But it seemed like there was some things happening, so he shrugged and decided that was fine. So with a shrug he followed after Kiet and headed closer to the exit, ready to head back to his dorm. But then he found something rather annoying. The run had been damn near four miles, if he remembered right. "You know, that's just infuriating enough that I'm going to short sheet your bed." He said, smacking the back of his head before he headed out, feeling like he could use something to slick his shirt after the decent workout.
