I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 244 Spar Training
Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
The Saturday started with an unusual sunny sky.
And Theo and the girls enjoyed the sunny weather as they worked out.
"Okay, this will be the last stretch exercise." Theo said as he got up and looked at the girls.
The girls just nodded and waited for his instructions.
This was the fourth day where they were working out with Theo and Aurora, and they already knew that after they finished stretching, Theo would tell them how the training would go.
"Today, we will have a sparring training. If you don't know what a spar is. Basically, it is two people fighting each other." Theo explained as he looked at Sam, June, and Sayuri.
The three of them had a look of contemplation when they heard Theo's words.
To be honest, the girls were a little nervous about the idea of fighting someone, but at the same time, they were strangely excited.
"But remember this a friendly spar. I want to see every one of you put into practice what I taught you over the week. This will not be a street fight, where you fight without any techniques. Everyone can do that. But what I want to see is your techniques." Theo explained as he looked at the 6 girls in front of him.
The girls nodded as they heard that.
Even though Theo didn't think the girls would fight without any consideration, he still warned them.
It is better safe than sorry.
"It will be a free-styled spar with no elbow techniques." He informed.
"I will participate in the spar too. So, there will always have someone without a partner to spar as we are in seven. Three pairs will fight while the seventh will rest. Every round will last 3 minutes. When the time ends, we will change partners, and the person who was resting gets a partner. This is how will go until the end of the training." Theo explained calmly.
The girls had a thoughtful faces as they heard the explanation.
They could not judge yet if this training was less tiring than the others they did, but they were more excited than normal.
They finally could fight each other.
They would even be able to fight Theo!
Even though the idea of fighting him was a little scary, they were still excited.
"You girls can drink some water and start putting on gloves, leg protectors, and mouth guards." Theo said as he walked to the side of the tatami where all types of equipment were placed.
The girls nodded excitedly, they could not start fighting.
A while later, Theo and the girls were all wearing the equipment.
"I will be out in this first round, so you can form the pairs already." Theo declared as he looked at them.
The girls looked at each other and quickly formed pairs.
Sam and Sayuri.
Aurora and June.
And Ayia and Shizuka.
While Theo would observe them.
"Okay, face each other."
"3, 2, 1, start!" Theo shouted as he started the clock.
The three pairs bumped gloves and started fighting.
"Sylph, play the workout playlist." He asked in a low voice.
Shortly after, an upbeat song started playing throughout the practice room.
The girls became even more energetic as they fought.
"Sam, Sayuri! Do not be so passive! Attack each other!" Theo shouted as he saw the two girls mainly circulating around each other.
"Use the attack pattern I taught you yesterday!" He said.
The two girls nodded and started trying to attack each other.
They were stiff and without balance a bunch of times, but Thoe did not say anything.
He would correct their mistakes in the next classes.
"June! Do not get out of the fighting stance!" Theo shouted as he saw the girl struggling as she fought Aurora.
Although Aurora toned down her attacks to make it easier for June, the short-haired girl was still having problems in the fight. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
It could not be helped, after all, this was the first time that she was fighting for real.
Aurora was very patient with her, she knew how hard was at the beginning.
"Aurora! Even though you should make it easier for June, this is not an excuse to not spin your hips when you throw a kick or punch!" Theo said as he observed his sister.
It was only then that she noticed that she was indeed not moving her hips.
She remembered what Theo said to her one day.
"Cupcake, it doesn't matter if you do not have huge muscles. It all depends on how you throw the punch. If you know the right way, your punch can be stronger than someone with more muscles than you."
"And you know the key for that? The hips! If you spin your hips as you throw a punch or a kick, they will end up being much stronger!" He explained to her.
Aurora nodded as she heard Theo shouting.
Even though she would not put any strength into the punches she was throwing at June, she agreed with her brother that she not be relapsing with her technique.
Theo then observed Ayia and Shizuka's spar.
The two of them were clearly much better than the other four girls.
Their spar was very intense and with a constant exchange of moves.
"Shizuka! I want more fluidity in your moves!"
"Ayia! You're too passive! Get in range and attack too!" Theo shouted to the two girls.
Their fight was almost without mistakes, so what Theo wanted was for them to improve their techniques.
They should get the fluidity of movements.
This is what a grandmaster knew by instinct.
They were able to react without thinking, and that was what Theo was trying to instill in the two girls.
"Come on! Why aren't you using any Judo techniques? Aren't you a Black Belt? Throw your opponent to the ground!" He shouted as he looked at the two siblings.
It was only then that the girls remembered that this was freestyle spar.
Their eyes shone as they looked at each other.
Ayia was determined to drop Shizuka to the ground!
And Shizuka was feeling the same thing.
Theo smiled as he saw their determined faces.
The spar went by until 3 minutes passed and the clock stopped.
"Come on! Change partners!" Theo shouted as he paired with Sam.
Aurora paired with Ayia, Sayuri paired with Shizuka, and June sat by the side as she panted.
She would be resting in this round.
Her spar with Aurora tired her more than she thought she would.
It was such a different feeling to fight with someone.
She had to be attentive to so many things at the same time.
First, she had to be sure that her stance and defense were always locked.
Second, she had to observe her opponent all the time to react if a punch or a kick was thrown at her.
And finally, she even had to attack herself.
There were still other things she should do, but she could not remember what.
Because Aurora was much more experienced than her, June was more tired than Sam and Sayuri were.
"Start!" Theo shouted as the 3-minute countdown started again.
Theo sparred with Sam and instructed her as they fought.
He didn't display any fancy techniques.
Just the basic jab and defense.
But Sam learned much more than she learned in the other classes.
And the same happened when Theo sparred with June and Sayuri later in the training.
Actually, every girl that Theo sparred with learned a ton of things as they fought with him.
Especially Ayia and Shizuka, the two aspiring grandmasters learned a lot as they fought with a grandmaster.
Theo threw the two girls to the ground several times with Judo techniques.
And the girls started comprehending something as they fought with Theo.
Fluidity.
When Theo announced the end of the training, everyone was panting and tired, but they had smiles on their faces.
The thrill of fighting could be seen in every one of them.
