I am the Entertainment Tycoon-Chapter 289 Protect The Head!
Martial Arts Dojo, Pedrarruna Manor.
"Okay, girls, you know the drill. Put on the equipment and get ready for the spar!" Theo shouted as he finished the last stretching exercise.
The girls nodded and immediately walked to the side of the tatami where the equipment was kept.
They arrived on the tatami a while ago after they ran outside for a while.
They took off their heavy winter workout clothes, the girls were dressed in yoga legging pants and tank tops, and Theo was dressed in a black shirt and black shorts.
They were all barefooted as no one was allowed to wear shoes on the tatami.
Shortly after, they were ready to start their Spar Saturday Training.
They wore leg protectors, gloves, and mouth protectors.
Only Theo was without his mouth protector, but that was because he would be observing their sparring first before he entered the fray.
"Ready? Bump gloves! Start!" Theo shouted as he started the countdown clock and asked Sylph to play the workout playlist.
As soon as the girls heard Theo's shout, they bumped their gloves and started the spar.
Aurora vs Shizuka.
Ayia vs Sam.
Sayuri vs June.
Theo observed the three pairs fighting with attentive eyes.
After three weeks of training, the newbies advanced a great deal.
After Theo's persistence for them to be always on guard, the three girls did not have problems anymore in keeping the fighting stance throughout the fight.
Hands protecting the head, forearms protecting the abdomen, head lowered, left leg on the front, and right leg behind.
This was the most efficient way to defend the body throughout a fight.
And Sam, Sayuri, and June finally learned the way.
"Sayuri! June! Be more proactive! Throw some punches and kicks like I taught you girls this week!" Theo shouted as he looked at the two girls.
Even though the two of them were performing their fighting stance, they still had to attack.
If they always defended and were passive throughout the fight, it was very easy to lose the fight.
A single punch on the chin was enough to knock them out.
And a knockout in a fight is a very dangerous thing.
Especially if the girls are in a situation where they are fighting a pervert.
A 'knockout' can be described as a sensation of disorientation. It may be blurry vision, loss of limb coordination, disordered balance, or numbness of the body. These sensations intensify when a person is being hit with a series of punches, kicks, elbow, or knee shots until the knockout hit is delivered and finally loses consciousness.
In technical terms, this is called a concussion. The concussion may be mild or severe depending on the force and location of the strike on the head.
The brain is a soft and mushy organ present inside the skull. It is covered with three meninges (tissue that covers, protects, and nourishes the brain), the outmost of which is connected to the skull. It is a very delicate, fragile part of the body.
When a fighter is hit with a heavy blow, the brain shakes inside the head. The grid of nerves and blood vessels that are connected to the brain also moves around, which can cause them to tear. It may not be just one blow that causes this movement. It can also be a series of blows that results in significant movement of the brain inside the skull, like the jelly inside the tumbler.
This resulting injury from the tear can cause certain functions to freeze. If we were to drop a console or a phone, it may hang and we may have to connect it again or reboot it. Our brain does exactly the same thing. It shuts off for a while resulting in the loss of all the bodily movements and reboots.
The most effective spot to hit a person and result in a knockout is the chin or the jaw area. Simple reason: hitting the jaw of a person with sufficient power and the perfect angle will cause the head to rotate around. This causes maximum movement of the skull, thus affecting the brain. A blow to the side of the head can also be harmful. Hitting someone on the side of the head will cause the head to spin about, causing movement in the brain.
That's why the head was lowered in the fighting stance, this way the chin would be protected by the hands and the elbows.
The hands have to always be protecting the head and the chin has to always be lowered.
Even when they throw a punch with either hand, the other hand has to stay in front of the head to protect the head against counterattacks.
For example, if Theo throws a punch with his right hand, the left hand will move to protect the head.
And a similar thing happens when he throws a punch with his left hand.
It was one of the things that Theo always highlighted in their training, the thought to always protect their heads throughout a fight.
Theo continued observing and giving the girls advice as the spar went on.
It was only when the 3-minute mark sounded that the girls stopped fighting.
They knew what that meant, they had to change partners, and one of them would be able to rest for 3 minutes.
Theo partnered up with Shizuka.
And the black-haired girl was excited when she saw that she would fight Theo.
Even though he always beat her, she was able to learn so much through their spar.
The three pairs bumped gloves and started fighting right away.
Theo and Shizuka immediately sprang into action.
The two of them were highly skilled, so their fight was at a level of intensity that the other girls would struggle to meet.
Shizuka tried a faint and a punch, but Theo easily defended and counterattacked with a Judo technique.
Shizuka already saw that coming and she easily defended it.
Theo was able to make her fall several times before with Judo techniques, which she thought was humiliating.
After all, she was a black belt in Judo, it shouldn't be so easy to make her fall to the ground.
It was only after falling multiple times that she understood that Theo was teaching her as he made her fall.
He saw openings that she didn't see herself, and through these openings, he was able to easily defeat her.
When she realized that, she worked hard to fix her mistakes, and now Theo was not able to make her fall as easily as before.
Theo and Shizuka fought fastly and with intensity until the clock sounded.
The two of them were panting as they bumped gloves again.
Shizuka chose to rest for the next round, and Theo partnered up with Ayia.
Ayia smiled sweetly at Theo as they stood in front of each other.
Even though nothing happened the last week between her and Theo, she was not upset about it.
She knew that Theo was buried with work to finish his album.
Aurora even told her that he was sleeping less than 2 hours per night to work more.
She was so proud of him, and she admired his passion and determination.
And she was a very patient woman, she would not be upset because there was no action between her and her crush for a few days.
She just hoped that he would ask her out when he got free from the production of his music album.
Ayia and Theo bumped gloves and started fighting immediately.
The two lovers gave their all.f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
