Guys, I need Suggestions for our new sites URL. Post Suggestions HERE -_- I will be asking around to Kubo as well, but please post >.>

Feeling lazy so I’m not going to jazz this up and make it pretty. We have a Christmas Party at the end of Exams. Friday, Dec. 23 at the chapel grounds. Exact time I can’t recall right now, but I’ll update soon as I can. Net is down at home, but won’t stop me!

… though extreme laziness might. Well, that’s all. So, recap

What: Read the title of this post you nitwit >.>
Where: Chapel Grounds
When: Friday, December 23
Time: -_-; forgot

Be there!

Genshiken has challenged YFC to a friendly game of “Capture the Flag”.

For all of you that don’t know, “Capture the Flag” is a game similar to the game “Sekyo Base”. The game will take place on Friday, and start at 7pm, after YFCs worship, and will continue until one team has acquired 3 points. Meeting place is at the chapel grounds near the library.

A brief explanation of the rules will follow.

*Maybe Not >. **Varies from Person to person depending on character

As to why we need to go over these:

Rolling
This is a pre-requisite skill for throwing, and falling techniques as those techniques require a person to be accustomed to being upside down. Further, understanding how to roll will help in preventing injury to ones self.

Backward Rolling
This is more of an evasive technique, but also an important skill to have as it will give you more options in the event something goes wrong during the skit.
eg. You lose your weapon, and need to block a downward attack. Instead, evade with a back roll, recover weapon, then continue with skit.

Basics of Unarmed Combat
To create a believable combat scene, one must know how actual combat is. The same goes for acting out believable combat. One must be familiarized with proper form in attacking, and blocking, along with side stepping before they can act it out properly. It’s not hard to tell two people to “punch like this, and block like that” or “side step here, then counter like this”, but actually doing it, and making it believable takes a bit more.

Trowing Techniques
Watching two people go at it in a fist fight, or even with weapons is good and fun, but to make things more realistic, we, the choreographers, would like to add throws to the skit. As such, we would like you to have a decent understanding of how to throw people without causing them harm. Do not worry, we have very good stunt men ready, willing, and able to help you learn to throw people.

Falling Techniques
Of course our stunt men can’t do the actual falls in the skit for you after you get throw, if you get thrown. That is why we will teach you techniques to do REAL falls without hurting yourself. You think martial artists just take hits? O.o they’re tough, not stupid. There are tricks to it.

Cartwheel
It’s a nice technique to know, and a very flashy one at that. This technique is optional, but knowing how to do one would give us a lot more options in the flash department.

Weapon Training
Every character has a weapon. As such we want you to know how to actually use it before actual skit practice so that if something goes wrong you have a better chance to be able to defend yourself.

Ok, theres a bit of a technical problem with the current method of picture uploading. I’ll be discussing it with the team, and hopefully by the end of the week we’ll have a better system up and running. For now, its just too much of an inconvenience to attach these to a single post one by one (current method -_-) Instead heres a link to the *image directory. Just click some blue text and look at the pics one by one. We’ll try to make things more convenient for you by the end of the week.

If you DON’T want to wander the list of linkage you can just click this one Genshiken Multiply gallery! and save yourself some effort
