Comments

[not_apriest]

Teaching: Swording and shooting, though he's accustomed to what would be seen as old-fashioned firearms. As far as swordplay, he's extremely proficient and has already taught a couple of people.

Regularly taking: None so far, but might change as more options come up.

Sometimes taking: I think he'd be interested in seeing the Judo. It's not like anything he's seen before.

[usskickass]

Added! Beiste will sometimes attend and John will regularly try to learn some new -kinds :DD

Kid

[builditstrong]

Teaching: all of these weapons except for the Calamity Cannon, on weekends, when he has time. Focusing on hammers. Also covers weapon maintenance.

Regularly taking: Self-defense with Beiste

Sometimes taking: any other hand-to-hand classes

[notthesecondworstfighter]

/plops down in here eagerly how did I miss this before

Teaching: Hand-to-hand. In case anyone wants to learn to do more than just defend themselves, he can actually teach them how to fight with hand-to-hand combat. And he's got pretty extensive knowledge of modern and more futuristic guns, so he could potentially also offer shooting lessons and whatnot?

Regularly taking: None, since he's pretty comfortable with his abilities as of now.

Sometimes taking: Caeldonian Weaponry and Swording, he'd probably peek in on occasion

[seekingbrother]

Teaching: Al is skilled in hand-to-hand and perfectly willing to teach with others! He's also somewhat skilled with various weapons, but that's more something he's just picked up than anything he'd want to necessarily teach.

Regularly taking: Probably none at the moment?

Sometimes taking: Heh, he might peek in on the Caledonian lessons just out of sheer curiosity.

Greed

[appealingavarice]

Teaching: oh god why would you ever put Greed in charge of teaching anything to anyone?

Regularly taking: He is most certainly not taking classes, that would be too much like joining things run by other people! But...

Sometimes taking: ...he does stop by the Kid's thing occasionally, just because he has some cool toys. And Al's. It would take some coaxing (and appealing to his ego) to get him to do more than watch, but he does show up.

[pottershotter]

Sometimes taking: Beiste's class! Marking it as sometimes only because I feel like he's not as disciplined or serious as he could be (since he has magic), but he would still be very interested and turn up now and then. Chance of attendance goes up 100% immediately after an event where his magic is taken away, but then gradually gets less frequent with time until the next one happens.

...I would offer to have him teach, but Remus and Sirius are the only ones who can use his kind of magic, and Remus is likely more experienced than him at this point anyway. 8D;;

Re: Kid

[usskickass]

Updated! Added some students for the Kid and put the Kid as sometimes taking hand-to-hand lessons with Al and Wash and Allison.

[usskickass]

Added Wash's class and put his name on Kid and Aramis's lists!

[usskickass]

Added Al's class and stuck him onto Kid's list!

Re: Greed

[usskickass]

Added him to Kid and Al's lists!

[usskickass]

Added him to Beiste's lists! Let me know if you want to put him on any of the other hand-to-hand lists too.

[driven]

Teaching: Hand to hand combat and archery. She's more likely to teach the very basics of hand to hand combat and self defense, just for people who have never taken it before and want to learn some basic moves. As for Archery she's willing to teach both longbow and cross-bow.

Regularly taking: none so far but this might also change!

Sometimes taking: Self defense and judo flipping when she has the time! And she stands in for as many of the military hand-to-hand and weaponry training sessions as she can.

[justguidelines]

Regularly Taking: Beiste's class because lmao. He and Jack need to be partners in this, oh my God.

Teaching: Building your own explosives the pirate way. Hector's fairly skilled with the notoriously volatile explosives of his time, and has been known to build his own grenades, so he can pass that knowledge on. Anyone here during the hellhound event should...Remember how effective they were. c':

[usskickass]

Added her class and added her to Beiste and Wash's lists!

[usskickass]

Added his class and added her to Beiste's list anddddd made a dumb joke don't look at me

[tom_hanniger]

Tom

Regularly taking Hand to hand with Wash. Apparently his future self demanded to be trained.

Sirius

Sometimes taking whatever James goes to for the exact same reasons.
Also Swords with Aramis because stabby stabby stabby...

[usskickass]

Added Tom to Wash's list and Sirius to Beiste's and Aramis's!

(I am laughing at the idea of John and Tom attending Wash's lessons and juuust how long would it take for John to realize that that is NOT Dean..................)

[tom_hanniger]

lol i give it a month

hahaha for helena not quinn. obviously.

[formercheerio]

Teaching: Kenpō. Defence, restraint and keeping someone down. Looking at how to disable an attacker and remove a thread. Also in three helpful gifs. Or one video. Just ask Mirror Blake her damage. Preference to one on one sessions too.

Sometimes taking: Swordsmanship. Not that she... needs any more danger to her ahaha
Also available for sparring partner?

Re: Greed

[seekingbrother]

Al will totally convince Greed to be used as a demonstration dummy partner.

[seekingbrother]

Okay so he'd totally go to Wash's classes as well and Barbosa's but only because holy shit HOW DO YOU COMBINE THOSE AND NOT KILL YOURSELF DUDE WTF

[appealingavarice]

This has great potential for hilarity.

[usskickass]

Added! (I have added at least one more class so please check it out too!)

Re: hahaha for helena not quinn. obviously.

[usskickass]

Added!
