Description
Here are Jasmine, Sammy, and Shawn enjoying a nightly group walk in the woods, enjoying each other's company, telling stories (especially scary tales) and jokes, and have an occasional camp fire with some smores, while encountering some animals of the night. Then the trio hear wolves howling in the distance. Jasmine wondered if they were hunting or calling for others, Shawn was nervous (especially since he's aware of werewolves), but Sammy was interested in them for some reason. She views the wolves as beautiful and majestic animals not to be feared, but respected and loved. She learned from Dawn that wolves prefer to give humans a respectful distance and would usually never attack people. Dawn also informed Sammy that wolves (and other top predators) are needed for the ecosystems (because without top predators, prey species would over-run the place and the ecosystem/environment would collapse. Check out the one part of the history of Yellowstone for example). Sammy felt the call of the wild in her heart and felt like joining the wolves in the howling. As Sammy howled, Jasmine and Shawn thought about it. Jasmine thought howling would be fun and joined Sammy in the howling. Seeing that the girls were having fun, Shawn guessed he could join too (though he wasn't quite sure of it and hoped it wouldn't attract werewolves). So all three howled at the moon, answering the call of wolves and having fun. This is how they roll (www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v0_oo… )!
I know it's already begun, but hey who cares?! Happy New Year, everyone!

*the trio sits in front of Swagger to pay attention and learn every move... Swagger gave the three a piece of paper and a pencil for each so they can write the techniques down just in case they forget*
Swagger: *cracks knuckles in order to get started* "okie-dokie, then..." *faces to the dummy* "Now everythin' must start with a bow and a stance..." *bows and gets into his stance* "the stance MUST be liquid, low and calm... Your joints CANNOT be locked... If your joint are locked, your joints could freeze and you may not be able to attack... So when your opponent tries to attack you, you won't be able to block it in time... Therefore, your stance must be liquid, low and calm... So when you block, you'll have enough time to counter... Now that we got the basics out of the way, we can start with attacks... So a simple attack could require a weapon... And I can tell you this, and this is my sensei's special tactic... EVERYTHIN' can be a weapon... You name it! A hat, a piece of paper, a stop sign... Everythin'!!! It just has to be in the right category... Suffocation, paralyzal, obstacle, distraction and death... Those 5 categories are types of weapons for ninjas, or kunoichis, to use... Say a robber tries to attack me... And the only thing I got is my hat. BOOM!" *takes off is hat and points to it* "instant ninjutsu weapon! Now a hat has three categories for a ninja weapon: suffocation, paralyzal and distraction... I could use my hat to suffocate the robber by puttin' my hat in his face, sealin' his oxygen... Now I can also use my hat to blind him by pullin' my hat down to his eyes... I can also hit the robber with my hat, paralyzing him..."
*the trio are surprised by Swagger's wiseness and write down everything*
Swagger: "so any questions 'fore I move on???"

Swagger: "with the right strength and attitude," *rubs Shawn's head* "HALO YEAH!!!"

Swagger: "okie-dokie-hokie-pokie... Movin' on... Now a move that I've learned from my sensei is a easy move called 'the backhand punch!' Now this move is similar to an uppercut... But just a tiny bit complex... Now what you do is, instead of havin' the front of the fist facin' you... You must have the BACK of the fist facin' you..." *demonstrates with his hand... He makes a fist and faces the back of the fist towards his face* "see? Now, the first step to a backhand punch is to take your backhand fist, and put it below the waist; near to your knees, like so..." *demonstrates* "next, you use all of the force you have inside you, concentrate it all on your fist and then..." *hits the dummy with full force, causing the dummy to get decapitated* "ta-da!"

The trio: "No, you can keep on."

Swagger: "kk then... Now this next move is sorta hard so make sure that you pay attention... So this move can be hard to master but with lots and lots of practice, you can master it in no time! So this move is called 'the double dagger strike!' So how this works... Um... Have any of you three watched Dragon Ball Z before???"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shawn: "I have. You and I used to watch it together when we were kids, remember?"
Jasmine: "Maybe when I was younger."
Sammy: "I probably watched it once with my brother."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Swagger: *to Shawn* "hehe, yeah... I remember that... We used to watch Dragon Ball Z all the time... Good times, you and me, baby bro..." *to the trio* "well, if you three had done your research, you'd know that goku and vegeta fused in a certain pose where their pointers meet, like so..." *demonstrates the pose* "am I wrong???"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shawn: "I believe you're getting it right."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Swagger: "kk... So instead of only the pointer in this move... You are using the pointer AND the middle finger together! But to start is to put your hands directly to the ground, where most of the gravity is located... Like so..." *demonstrates* "next, you pull the gravity up and pull it towards your chest and above your head, like so..." *demonstrates* "after that, you release all that force that you've gained by Hittin' your opponent, like so!" *hits the dummy with full force, causing holes to appear in the chest section and the crotch section*

Shawn: "Bro, I speak for all of us here when I have to say that is both awesome and intimidating at the same time!"

Swagger: "I KNOW, RIGHT?!? The first time my sensei taught me that move, I was freakin' out! I thought that sensei was gonna kill me with that move!!! But turns out, he didn't... He said that ninjas may had been assassins back in the day... But now, ninjas don't assassinate anymore... They're now assigned to spy and sabotage... Besides, ninja senseis were, and are still, not allowed to kill their ninja students... This move may be dangerous, but it's also a defense mechanism!"

Swagger: "alright! Now... hmm... where did my Sensei hit it again??? Oh yeah! Between the shoulder and the side of the neck... First, you make a distance between you and your target..." *steps a few feet away from the broken dummy* "Next, you have to run to your target, jump up while spinning, and then hit your target with the back of your wrist... like so!" *Runs to the dummy, jumps while spinning and hits the dummy again, causing it to get sliced from between the shoulder and the neck diagonally down* "cool, huh?" *Confident, strokes beard* "My Sensei is pretty much the wisest out of them all, am I right or am I right?!"

Shawn: *Nodding* "Indeed."

Sensei Kahn: "why, thank you, Swagger..."
Swagger: "no prob, Sensei... so how me and Sensei met happened a few years ago... I was walkin' home from school, just like every other regular boy did... but then... I WAS KIDNAPPED!!!"
*the trio gasped*
Swagger: "when they caught me, I was blindfolded, or they had covered my eyes with a blindfold..."
Sammy: "isn't that what 'blindfolded' means?"
Swagger: "exactly... I couldn't see ANYTHIN'! But I DID hear somethin'... punchin', kickin', painful shoutin', bodies fallin' on the ground... then... it all stopped... then someone took off my blindfold... I saw this middle aged man... we started talking... eventually, he insisted ninjitsu lessons... I had to accept! Since then, I've been takin' lessons from Sensei for years..."

Sensei Kahn: "I would love to, my student..." *sits afar to watch Swagger from a distance*
Sammy: "um Sensei Kahn, why are you sitting over there???"
Sensei Kahn: "Swagger's punching dummy is unstable... if it takes any more damage, It could explode..."
Shawn, Sammy and Jasmine: "EXPLODE?!?!?"
Sensei Kahn:
"Take my advice, young ones... It would be safer to watch from a distance..."
Swagger: "Sensei's right... you three better back up..."

Swagger: "well, better put this old thing out of its misery..." *stance* "this next move is 'the tiger palm!' and it's very simple... just shape your hand like a tiger's paw and..." *tiger palms the dummy, causing it to explode... Swagger remains unharmed* "TA-DA!!!"

Shawn: "Awesome, bro!"
