What The Luck!? Chapter 269

"Do you want to work on throws too?" Jane wasn't sure what Laura was thinking since Laura was unusually quiet for a change.
"I was actually thinking that I want to learn to move as you do. I am fast and it made it hard for you to even catch me. But you can face me out and make we go where you want and I hated that." Laura was brutally honest with herself and Jane. She had felt too weak when Jane was able to fake her out even though she escaped during the stage training.
"So you want to learn feints and footwork. That's fine by me. I have been learning feints so I can use them even when in the sifted state from earlier." Jane had shifted back after the first hour and felt extremely drained. She had not expected to have pushed herself so much so fast.
"When I get in to the shift it is way easier to lose my emotions than usual. So I can't use the same degree of complicated moves. If I practice feints and my foot work it will be easier to use them in that shifted state." Jane had been thinking about this for some time and found that the more she practiced a move the better she was at it when it came to shifting.
"When you feint you need to be aware of what your opponent is thinking. If they are watching my feet then I need to point my toes the opposite way I am going to twist and my body. My opponent will be watching my feet so that they can guess where I will attack. If they are looking for your eyes look the opposite way that you will run."
Jane explained the basics and then showed Laura what she was talking about. "I point my right foot toward your left side so you think that I am going to head that way, but." Jane twisted her body and brought her leg up attacking Lauras' right side. "I was going to kick your right side."
Laura had easily dodged since she had the necessary speed and Jane was moving in slow demonstration. "So I should do the opposite of what is expected. I can move fast enough to confuse some people easily. But actually feinting them and attacking an unexpected area would be better."Laura was trying to figure out the proper fit for the foot work she had been doing.

"You have a habit of popping up behind us without noticing you because you are so fast. I would say you should attack the back of someone's legs so that they are brought down in an instant. Here I will show you." Jane had seen this take down and few times and could see how well it would work for Laura who was too fast to stop from sneak attacking or dodging around others to attack.
Jane used a burst of speedy to slip past the standing Laura then arched her foot back while grabbing her shoulder. Laura was forced to bend a knee then Janes' hand on her shoulder pulled her back so she couldn't push back up and away.
"Oh, That was fast. I can't even step forward without somehow stopping you." Laura was pretty amazed that Jane had been learning these things on her own and wanted to know more tactics like this. "I think I will be best at learning moves like this. They are way better and faster. If I stop to punch and kick then I will lose my speed. Then I will get caught."
Laura was anything but stupid. She knew that her speed was something that caused her to have fewer developed muscles and put her at a disadvantage when it came to a head on battle. She would always need to think of strategies that would rely on her speed. However, if she was able to improve her mental processing she could do that better and better to the point where she might be able to confuse opponents to indecision.
"Bro! You have power but you keep standing still." Art distracted them temporarily as he was coaching Jackson through the boxers' bounce. It only took the girls attention for a few seconds.
"I am trying to do both but I am not used to constantly bouncing in place." Jackson felt bad that he wasn't catching on to the proper flow of attacks.
"It's a habit. But every time you stop is when I will attack. I doubt you will feel it much since I am pretty sure you are denser than a brick wall with your super power but you will know what I mean." Art had realized that Jackson would need a more forceful approach to get the habit down.

Jackon had been trying to put the bouncing stance that Asher had taught him together with a straight punch then right back in to the bounce and attack. "If you can keep the two at the same time you can put jabs and hooks together for a combo."
Art bounced on the balls of his feet and started to punch straight ahead. Then he suddenly jabbed out then straight punched and immediately right hooked to make a combo. "My feet still paused slightly with the punches but I was never standing still. It was a constant motion so that I was ready for my opponent to counter."
This reinforced Jacksons' will to keep moving while he started to try and practice the two. Art took his gloves off and circled Jackson who tried to rotate with him as he moved. Jackson set his feet and punched leaving Art open to punch his side making Jacksons' jaw drop in surprise.
"Can't just stand there like that. I am your opponent here." Art picked up his speed always trying to get to Jackson's blind spot. The sudden attack hadn't been hard but it was a shock to Jackson who thought they would just easily train. "If you keep going easy on yourself because your super power is physical then you will end up a meathead. Slow and all muscles without any active thinking."
Art knew very well that Jackson had very good grades and a great deal of knowledge. Yet, this insult and worry was enough to spur Jackson in to a much harder pace.The two started to boxers bounce around each other when Jackson tried his best not to stop at all. He had the stamina to keep moving for a long time but did not have the experience to keep it up. His mental determination had not been trained to do the same activity for a long period of time.
"Your muscles are new and they lack any muscle memory. You are a blank canvas for these moves. Keep it up and push the pace!" Art came in with a straight punch that knocked Jackson off balance. He had not expected the strength that Art had demonstrated. Jackson had not noticed that he had been letting himself just relax more around others because of his new physical strength. He had the unintentional idea that he couldn't easily get hurt.
With this coming to Jackson's mind, Art saw an immediate change in how he moved. Jackson changed his stance slightly and became more serious out moving around and dodging. This was the best time for Jackson to learn this lesson and see that he was still weak to some respect. If he had not and made it all the way to the tournaments he could have been knocked out instantly.
"Now are you going to try and actually hit me?" Art challenged Jackson since he saw the change. They two became much more active and the hour burned away more quickly than expected. When the alarm went off to change the work outs everyone knew that was coming next.
"Now we are going to do some sparring matches without super powers. Everyone else will analyze those sparring so we can work on ur mental understanding. It is the same as when we watch fights." Cara stopped everything she was doing to make this announcement along with grab her phone to record everything.
Asher looked at Art and they both nodded. They were not going to use their bet in this hour. They were going to use theirs later for the last hour of sparring and super power practice. Both of them couldn't really practice their powers so openly. Asher because his was hard to control in a viable way and Art because he was keeping the fact that he knew his full super power hidden. There was no telling how his older brother could find out and possibly get the lead on Art trying to return home.
"Who should go first then? Should we draw straws or try and pair up against our worst match ups?" Jane was trying to set everything up since Cara was taking the lead in keeping them on track. However, Cara already opened up the elite home gym app with a rotation of matches. It was all already prepared.
