Daphne stood up and took her wand out. She put her hair behind her ear, and adjusted her feet. She put her feet, one in front of the other. She stood up very straight with her wand arm sticking out. Her other arm was slightly raised, she wasn't sure if this was right, but it felt comfortable. |
"Good... you can plant your feet shoulder-width apart, or you can move one in front of the other. However you stand, make sure your weight is distributed, or you'll fall right over." She pushed on a few elbows and shook her head. "Keep the arms loose, and your posture fluid. Strength and flexibility are key. You can put the other arm in the air as a counter-balance, although I never have. Just don't flail it about. Flourishes will lose you precious seconds." |
ray stood up firmly he raised his wand firmly but not to tough remembering to make an angle not to sharp. |
Sam stood up as soon as the class rose. Okay...now what is this supposed to look like? Oh right....feet like that and wand and yeah....that should be right. Sam stood with his feet apart and his right foot slightly forwards. His arms were held out to help him keep balance, his wand hand forwards and his left hand held rigidly behind him. Sam bent his knees a little and smirked. "That good, Prof?" |
Joe listening to what she was saying. The girl placed her hand just around her waist, making sure that she could easily move if she was vunerable to an attack. Her wieght was even, and feet were planted firmly on the gound-- but she could jump if need be. She thought she was doing good. |
Emily loosened her elbow. That might have been it. She bit her lip and loosened her feet a bit moving side to side making sure that her balance was evenlydistributed. She nodded. okay she felt more ready now than before. |
Tae lowered his arm because it was getting tired. Tae knew his weight was distributed because he took one of the first stance he learned in Taekwondo. The sitting stance. He had hoped it would be corrected, and it seemed to be. He just need to bend his arm a little bit. So he raised his arm back up and bent a little bit at the elbow. Not much but just enough so that his arm wasnt perfectly straight. |
Carolyn stood up. She did as the professor asked, her feet were shoulder-width apart and made sure that her weight was equally distributed. She tried to keep her arms loose and her posture fluid. This wasn't a difficult position. She looked up at the professor, waiting for further instructions. |
"You can either do this next part with a partner or alone, but I want you to each practice bowing and pacing, then getting your wand up as quickly as possible. Taking your time, it's easy to get into your stance, but you need to practice doing it over the course of just a few seconds." ooc: I'm gone for a while. You are welcome to practice the stance, but do NOT cast or you'll lose house points. Please do not chat. |
Ray tried did what the professor asked him to do he tried to distribute his weight, bend his arm a little bit and he raised his arm back uo a littke bit at the elbow |
Joe looked around wondering if she would do it with a partnet or just by herself. The girl decided she would be on her own until someone decided to ask if they could go to gether. Joe bowed towards the wall and counted the five steps away from it. As soon as she it five she turned as quickly as possible and took her stance, pulling out her wand. |
Carolyn looked around, not seeing anyone that would want to practice with her, she decided to do it on her own. Carolyn practiced bowing, and pacing. When she was satisfied, she practiced getting her wand up in position as quick as possible. |
Tae looked around for a partner. He didnt really want to try this alone. He walked up to a ravenclaw named emily. "Hey, Im Tae. Would you be my partner?" He asked her. |
Sam frowned when they were asked to practice their fighting. Who was he supposed to practice with? Sam looked around the room looking for a friendly face. Quote:

"Sure why not." She took a ellastic headband out of her pocket and put her mess of blond hair back. "I'm Jocasta Houdini... Everyone calls me Joe though." |
Faye made her way to the nearest person about her age, a curly headed sixth-year Ravenclaw, Jamie, she thought his name was. "Hey, I could use a partner for this, what do you think about it?" she asked as non-chalantly as she could manage, hoping her shy squeak wouldn't come through. |
Christian looked around for a partner. He didn't know who to ask, so he started practising by himself. He paced, stance, and wand out quickly. He lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Flustered, he attempted at trying it again. This time he really lost his balance and fell to his knees. He punched his leg and slowly got up, he couldn't figure out why he was having so much trouble with this. |
Faye looked over in time to see Christian lose his footing, "are you okay?" she asked, stepping over to help him stand. |

Emily smiled. 'nice to mee touy too tae" she said as she took a couple steps backwards and got her stance. "She realized that her legs were stick straight so she quickly corrected herself and smiled at Tae. She looked up and positioned her wand. She wasin a comfortable stance and her weight was distributed well. |

"Not bad at all." She put her own smirk on her face. The met up once again., both bowed, five steps, and turn. This time Joe was the quicker one out of the two. |
Christian allowed Faye to help him up. He was a little red and embarrased, so he muttered a 'thank you' and stood straight trying to figure out what he was doing wrong. "Yah, I'm fine," he told Faye. "Just having trouble on trying to concentrate on getting the stance right and having the wand out fast." |
