X-Team Training Begins

[Will Stanton]

"Once more into the breech, then" Will says, as he jogs off.

[Anita Fernandez]

Anita nods to Lumis and heads to the Danger Room.

[Madrox Saavedra]

Madrox moved over to his training squad.

"Let's get this show on the road eh?"

[Narrator]

((Narration Note: The Danger Room bit is probably the most interesting bit for each team, so that's the only part we'll really play out. Each team will get some running and some weight lifting in, some time sparring and some time practicing tumbles. Each team will also get a Danger Room session. Only the DR sessions need their own thread, the rest can just be summed up in here.))

[Rachel O'Brien]

Rachel headed over to Jubilee, already thinking about who was on her team. "Sounds good to me, Maddie."

[Juma Ngomo]

Juma hooks up with his own team, mostly quiet but friendly enough. He does excels at distance running and sprinting, does well with the gymnastics and combat training, but is only marginal with the weights. The fact that the training starts off light in the weights department means he can manage it but it's definitely his biggest struggle.

[Simon Kipling]

Simon joined the rest of his team quietly, quite happy to see a few familiar faces. Dressed in his suit from his first mission out it seemed he had also been given some custom gloves, letting him fully utilize his footwork while still protecting them.

[Narrator]

Wolverine is hosting a combat training session, ready to address any non-firearms that people are ready to fight with. For those that don't have weapons, the fighting training is in hand to hand, a mixture of styles. He sticks mostly to hard, brutal, and dirty moves from Krav Maga, Jeet Kun Do, Jujitsu, etc. The focus is on self-protection in a melee, and taking down an opponent fast without lethal force.

Northstar is teaching the acrobatic section, teaching falls, slides, and rolls. How to regain control of a situation where one's momentum got away from them, and how to minimize damage from being thrown or falling.

Jubilee is teaching combat avoidance, using her 'fireworks' to liberal effect in forcing students to dodge and remain mobile. The training covers both expected and unexpected attacks, and she's careful not to injure anyone... at least not on the first day.
