《El aficionado [Español] [Completo]》10. A entrenar un poco
Advertisement
A la mañana siguiente, Leo recordó que había tirado a la basura la tarjeta del gimnasio minutos luego de que el entrenador se retirara. Buscó por internet los distintos gimnasios de artes marciales mixtas en la capital. Encontró tres gimnasios, y le resultó fácil diferenciar cual era el de Ulises. Las clases eran los martes y jueves a las 18 horas. También buscó los sueldos de varios peleadores profesionales y se sorprendió al ver lo que ganaban. No creía que les pagaran tanto, pero por ignorancia no tuvo en cuanto los gastos.
—¿Por qué buscas eso? —le preguntó molesta.
—Ya te dije, quiero entrenar un poco.
—Y yo ya te dije que no quiero que pelees.
—Últimamente, la vida se puso más difícil y quiero estar más preparado para las situaciones.
—Y por eso, ¿te vas a matar a piñas?
—Si no me querés apoyar, está bien. Mi familia tampoco lo haría.
El martes a las 17:45 salieron hacia el gimnasio en el auto de Génesis. Acordaron que ella vería la práctica, solo para asegurarse que no van a matarse. El barrio “La costa” era el barrio más lujoso. La Av. Las palomas era la avenida comercial. Interceptaba todas las calles del barrio, desde la calle 1 hasta la calle 15. La avenida era la zona céntrica, ya que se la utilizaba para dividir el barrio en zona este y oeste. Ocho cuadras hacia el este, se encontraba el rio. Ocho cuadras hacia el oeste también finalizaban el barrio, y en esta zona, daba comienzo al barrio Margarita. El gimnasio se encontraba a mitad de la calle nueve entre la avenida y una calle llamada Marisol. Estacionó su auto una cuadra delante del gimnasio, ya que en la misma cuadra no había lugar.
Entraron al gimnasio, el cual era de unos 250 metros cuadrados. En la entrada, se encontraba a la izquierda la recepción, a la derecha empezaba el sector de entrenamiento de piernas: equipado con 2 sentadillas libres, 1 prensa 45°, 1 sillón de cuádriceps que estaba combinado con una camilla de femorales, 1 máquina para entrenar pantorrillas, a la izquierda, delante de la recepción, 1 sector para entrenar peso muerto de 6m² y al costado, un espacio libre del mismo tamaño en donde por defecto se utilizaba para estocadas. Más adelante, el sector para entrenar torso. 3 press de banca, 1 press inclinado, 3 bancos regulables que se podían utilizar como banco plano, inclinado o declinado, 2 sillas, 1 press militar, 1 máquina de remo bajo y 3 dorsaleras combinadas que permitían utilizar tanto la polea alta como la baja, aunque utilizaban la baja cuando la máquina de remo estaba ocupada. En la pared amurada una barra de dominadas que permitía realizar 3 variantes y una máquina de fondos en paralela, que también permitía entrenar los abdominales. El gimnasio se encontraba muy bien pintado. De color amarillo claro. Una clienta al darse cuenta que eran nuevos se acercó a atenderlos.

—Hola, quiero probar una clase de MMA.
—¿Ella también?
—No, solo quiero ver si son muy violentos.
—No tenés que preocuparte, las clases son tranqui. Pasen, están en el fondo.
Dos metros delante de donde terminaban los aparatos, estaba el sector de MMA. Este sector, era más grande que el anterior, midiendo 135 metros cuadrados. Una barra de dominadas, igual a la otra. Este sector contaba con dos sacos de MMA de 0.90 metros, un saco de boxeo, de 1.80 metros, un saco de neumáticos, compuesto con cuatro neumáticos, un muñeco plástico y cuatro muñecos para tomas de Jiu Jitsu. Al costado derecho, se encontraba la jaula. En todo el sector de entrenamiento se encontraba piso de caucho, aunque había un cartel que decía: Por favor, no arroje los discos ni las mancuernas al suelo. En el sector de MMA, había piso de cuadrados de Goma Eva.
Había seis personas. Tres hombres y tres mujeres. Las edades variaban entre los 18 y 25 años. Daban vueltas alrededor del sector.
—¡Leo! Pensé que nunca ibas a venir.
—Quiero aprender un poco de pelea.
—Perfecto.
Leo les siguió la corriente. Al terminar de correr, se agruparon de a 2 y agarraron los focos. Cómo eran siete alumnos, Ulises se puso a entrenar con Leo. Le explicó varias combinaciones. Un Jab, un cruzado y agacharse ya que contraatacaba con el foco. Un Jab, un cruzado y una patada baja. Un Jab, un cruzado y un gancho. Durante 10 minutos. Al finalizar el tiempo, el compañero agarraba los focos.
Tras pasar los primeros 20 minutos, Ulises armó un circuito. Primero golpeaban el saco de 0,90 metros, que estaba a una altura considerable para rodillazos. En el saco de boxeo, los golpes eran aleatorios. En el saco de neumáticos, ganchos y combinaciones. Para finalizar el circuito, golpeaban el muñeco, buscando precisión en los focos de nocaut. 20 segundos y rotaban. Al llegar a los 20 minutos complementarios de la hora, practicaban Jiu Jitsu. Le explicó una llave de brazo.

Al finalizar la clase, estaban los combates en jaula. Se fue sin presenciarlos.
—¿Qué te parece? —le preguntó luego de que subieran al auto.
—Está bien. Me parecía que eran más violentos. Es tu decisión.

Trailblazer
The story of a man who accidentally wrote another world into existence. Everyone breaks away from their mundane daily life in one way or another. Our protagonist, an unfortunate consequence of circumstance, being no different, often escaped the harsh reality of life by writing stories of an alternate world of swords and magic. Though he recognized the difference between reality and fantasy, he could've never imagined what would happen, when the line between the two blurred as lightning struck down from the skies, and his escapism fantasy became all too real... After he came to, he would soon learn that things in the other world aren't quite as he remembered them to be. The world he wrote of had become but a shadow of its former self. Albeit hesitant at first, he sets off on a quest to find out the secrets behind the Trails, yet even then, he can't help but wonder... Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak. Groundbreaking quality is probably not something to be expected, but I do my best to keep things readable. With the necessities out of the way, both constructive criticism and other suggestions are very much welcome, and I'll do my best to take them into account when writing future chapters.

Daughters of the Void
Emily is a high school student. Too tall and developed for her age. Her will has been broken, so now, she is fearful and insecure. But that, doesn't explain why those around her bully and despise her. Perhaps... it is related to the dark and deep secret that she has inexplicably forgotten? What made her forget it? The strange being, with whom Emily once made a pact, intends to find out what has happened. To do so, will take her to a world terribly different from this one. Why does it take her to another world? Why did Emily forget what makes her different? Why the hell, all of a sudden, can Emily see three floating panels in the middle of the darkness? What is this? A video game with a lush green-eyed redhead as the main character? Daughters of the Void is a story told from multiple points of view, which occur in parallel. As if they were several series in one, where each protagonist advances at their own pace. At first, the story of each character will advance slowly, so I ask you to be patient. Soon, you will discover a story of extreme survival in a medieval fantasy world. A story, a bit dark, that can also be a bit comical at certain moments. But above all, it can be harsh and cruel to its protagonists. I’ve introduced LitRPG elements in a very soft and almost non-existent way at the beginning of the story. As the story progresses, they will become more and more abundant, depending on the protagonist. Emily is the main and first protagonist of "Daughters of the Void". After her; Dianna, Tanya and others. Above all, I’m looking for your immersion, so I will make you aware of most of the thoughts of the protagonists. I also want the reader to feel some uncertainty, putting yourselves in the shoes of some girls who can't find what they lack. I look for realism, but also to surprise myself. Around chapter 25 there is an awakening of the protagonists. Moment in which they will begin to behave as they really want to be. Unrivaled adventurers. Heroines of legend. The secondary protagonists were created to cover some deficiencies that I noticed that the series had when it was only Emily, so their chapters will be more sporadic. Tags and warnings give me creative freedom. This is the first story I've written, although they are not my first drawings. Be kind with your reviews. I know everything can be improved. Also, English is not my native language, neither is my brother's. He’s the one who translates the story. Constructive feedback is always welcome. We learn day by day. Everything helps us to improve the quality of this humble project. Let us know what you think.
