You took your first step in the dojo and were awed by the many black belts performing high caliber moves with such finesse. Your mom had dropped you off and you began with the fellow yellow belts. Class had gone on as usual but the sensei had told you to stay after class so that they could talk to you. You a bit worried as you don't know what you're about to hear. Shockingly the sensei said how proficient you had become and that there was a lot of untapped potential. He wanted you to be mentored by one of the blackbelts so that your skills would grow incredibly.
He decided, since you're one of the few girls there, you should have a female instructor since she understands what it was like to be in your shoes. Sensei said you can begin these sessions after your normal classes and that if your parents signed off then you could begin asap. You run this by your mom who seems ticked that she has to come back even later but glad you're doing so well that you're receiving extra help.
Sensei introduces you to Mariah. An amazon of a woman around 5'9 with some big feet. She extends her hand out and its just big enough that it clamps all your fingers causing a weak grip. Sensei said she'll be your teacher from now on and he leaves. Its now just the two of you.
"Well well well, looks like I'm your master from now on" Mariah says warmly grabbing your shoulder.
You nod and ask where do we start.
"Kicks. I think its best we start with kicks. Now sensei said you're proficient but that doesn't mean you've nailed the discipline that we blackbelts have. Show me a side kick then a front kick"
You demo them, and while not bad they were far from perfect.
"Hmm... not bad but definitely needs tweaking. Here observe, this is proper form. You're supposed to strike with the heel not the blade" Mariah said chambering the kick and slowly putting it out until it connected with your face. Her big dirty foot was all on your face then she said, "see if you kick with the blade, its not a strong..." Mariah shifted her foot so that the blade was covering your face "...then when you strike with the heel. You understand" Mariah says removing her foot.
Yes master you reply submissively. The fact shes able to gracefully execute kicks and instruct is very exciting.
"Now onto the front kick" she chambers and delivers the kick slowly, meeting your face and cracking your head back a bit.
"See you were keeping your toes pointed straight but you need to keep them cocked back" she said pushing your face forward with her foot with her toes resting on your forehead but soon she cocked them back, allowing her toes to spread.
"and that my student is how you perform those kicks" Mariah said smiling and removing her foot.
You were vibrating and growing weak in the knees. Mariah noticed and said, "Either you need a break or maybe we'll call it a day. I'm sure my kicks were pretty tough hahaha" Mariah looks at her sole and sees a layer of dirt.
"Omg, I didn't realize how dirty my feet were. I was kicking your face with these?! Why didn't you speak up, don't be afraid to speak up just because I'm your master" Mariah said grabbing you looking concerned.
You smile and say not to worry, the dirt is natural and maybe it would rub off some of her skill.
Mariah laughs and says, "What are you insane, the dirt from my feet are not gonna make you a better martial artist"
You say never say never and who knows if they magical powers. You ask if she could kick you and test if it works.
"Ahh you need another lesson my student" Mariah says assuming a fighting stance.
"TIYEEEE" Mariah exclaims causing you to stagger back from intimidation. She does a spinning kick into your gut causing a hunch. Then a front kick on your chin which whips your head back. Mariah closes in with a hook kick to roundhouse lastly chambering a sidekick. She extends out but just before it makes contact so her foot was centimeters from your face.
Mariah lowers her foot, and sees how your wobbly your knees are. She palms your head and moves you over to a chair. She retrieves a shoe and ties it around your face. She then grabs her own chair and kicks her feet up onto your thighs.
"Make yourself useful" Mariah said flexing her toes
