*Suddenly, Kero is in front of her, slowly aiming a punch at her head....hoping she realizes what he was doing when he made her practice that kata*
Note: You know what a Kata is, I presume?

**I think so, though I don't know which one you were working on. In kendo it is a movement or series of movements meant to ingrain a specific response for blocking an attack... at least in the beginning it is... blaugh **
Without thinking, Shia finds herself blocking his move and almost does it. She rocks back a bit on her heels and sighs. "Heh... so that's what it's for..."

Note: Kata are the same in all martial arts...a series of movements designed to repel attackers...an instictive repulsing combination, if you will...
*Kero nods*
Exactly...now...*Launches a series of attacks, the counterpoint to her form*

And she falls apart, literally, collapsing to the floor in a bewildered heap. "Ack! she cries in alarm. "What did I do now?" she cowers there with her arms over her head while all four of the quets struggle desperately not to laugh out loud. A look from Kerobian quells their merriment, at least until he turns away, but not for long.

*Kero helps Shia up*
That's why you have to practice...and don't worry...no one ever became a black belt in a day...it took me five years...and I was considered a fast learner...
That you blocked me for a few moves is very good, Shia...now, I want you to do three more sets of this...then I want you and Rhea to go and pull out the bag...it's time I taught you how to punch properly...

Shia is not too certain she knows what he is talking about but she does the three required sets then follows Rhea to the closet, which is actually more like a huge storeroom stacked to the ceiling of all of Kerobian's odd and end accouterments, things he has gathered together over the length and breath of is rather long lifetime.

*Rhea snaps her tail, and a punching bag...one of the larger ones that sits on the ground, sails over to them...Rhea takes one end of it, tells Shia to take the other, and pulls*

'"Hey, Rhea, why are we carrying this out there when either one of us can simply think it into place?" asks Shia struggling with her side.

*The bag disappears...and reappears on the floor*
Good question...Oh!
*Kero, seeing the bag, has decided to practice a little while he lets his students coold down...his hands are quick as lightning...and he ends with a kick that sends the bag flying*

*Kero snaps his fingers and teleports it back, signaling to Shia*
Alright...I want you to hit this bag...as hard as you can....

"Um, any particular way I should hit it?" she asks coming up besides the bag.

"Anyway? With my hand or my fist?" she asks quietly. Then she punches the bag with all her might. "Owie!" she cries shaking her hand hard. Angry she spins and drop kicks the bag sending it flying several feet. "Stupid bag." shes grumbles, sucking the side of her hand, then she sees everyone looking at her and blushes beet red. "Ummm... sorry.... that hurt."
