Hmm, padded armor could prove to be useful enough. It wouldn't be exactly what she wanted, but if needed..... she could visit those bloody monks of the northern district to ask if they had some metal armor... or have it forged. "I guess padded armor could work for now. In the end I want to have at least one post with steel armor. We've gotta teach the students where to hit armored opponents as well. If they are fighting barehanded, they have to know where to hit. I don't want them to break their hands.", she explained. "About the weapons, they have to reflect the actual weight of the weapon and balance of it. In my opinion it's the best way to teach, but that's me. I never trained with training weapons when I was learning." The woman thought about how they should go about to getting a new teacher. First of all, it had to be someone familiar with his or her weapon. They couldn't have a novice, nor someone who just got the hang of it, teach. They'd have to be at least an expert with their weapon of choice. "About the extra teacher... I don't care what Xi says, if they prove to be an asset to the school, they can come. I'll take responsibility if needed. He wants this school to thrive, so we have to be able to teach lots of different fighting styles. That includes ranged combat, dagger combat and the like. I'm training myself to be able to wield my greatsword and glaive a lot better. If I can teach students those later on, it'll only be better for the school." She thought about it and then decided to ask: "Are you trying to learn a few different weapons? As a fighter, it's always handy to be flexible in your weapon choice. I don't know your preferences, but... being stuck to only two or three types of fighting wouldn't be good you know." |
