[Gai looks her over and nods.]

Excellent! From here we will step forward, return to this position, step back, return, step to the right, return, and step to the left, and return.

[He demonstrates as he talks.]

This way you are aware of your balance and footing.

[heretolookhot]

[Forward, center, back, center, right, center, left, center. Easy enough so far.]

I was a dancer, my balance is pretty good.

[spandexisyouth]

It shows. You are faster on your feet than most I teach here.

[In some cases that doesn't mean much, but it does make teaching easier.]

Now I would like you to step back with your left foot and swing a punch forward with your right arm. Not at me, because that would be pointless, but at the air.

[heretolookhot]

[Santana steps back as she's told, and balls her hands into fists. Her instincts as a lefty tell her to go the opposite way as what she was told, but she punches with her right hand, straight in front of her.]

[spandexisyouth]

[Gai nods.]

And now reverse that, your right foot going back and your left fist punching. I know this seems very basic, but it tells me where you are at.

[heretolookhot]

[Santana looks serious as she focuses only on her instructions. As basic as it is, she doesn't mind learning one baby step at a time, for now.]

Like that?

[Her punches aren't great, but her left is better than her right.]

[spandexisyouth]

[He makes note of that. Left hand it is, then.]

Exactly! Now.

[He stepped in front of her, holding out his arm between them, forearm pointed toward her but held low.]

Kick first with your left foot, then your right. Aim for my arm, please.
