[Open] En Garde!
WHO: Wing and anyone
WHERE: One of the larger lower platforms in Vector's Quadrant.
WHEN: Now (Wing personally practices twice a week, anyone may join/visit.)
WHAT: Melee sparring sessions, hand-to-hand and weapons combat. Anyone may watch, participate, receive or offer instruction. Technique discussion welcome as well.
WARNINGS: None yet.
Just enough light from Prima's quadrant touches the network of crystal cables crisscrossing Vector's domain that they turn slightly golden. One wide hanging bridge connects the main approach to one of many large platforms, Vector's tower standing vigil farther behind it. The platform has little in the way of walls, barriers or guard rails, but it is quite large with ample room for several groups to occupy should they choose to. There's a section near the middle, bare except for a large ring on the ground formed from bits of rope and cable knotted together. There's what appears to be a makeshift sparring dummy constructed of various bits of junk nearby.
The knight begins with a warm-up kata, slow and measured with empty and open hands, his movements pushing and pulling with a grace something his size and made of metal would not be expected to have. The warm up eventually transitions into faster flowing movements, punctuated by stronger, tighter fisted and more aggressive movements. Finally it escalates to drawn weapons, their plasma charge singing in the air as the blades move around the jet's body in a combative type of dance.
In several centuries of study and practice, Wing has mastered several forms of martial combat. Offensive and defensive stances, evades, holds, throws, parries, feints, disengages, missile deflects, but most importantly, incapacitates. Using knowledge precisely and intentionally applied to debilitate but not kill one's opponent was a key element to upholding the Circle of Light's philosophy.
All this, and yet Wing has had opportunity to apply but a small portion of it in true combat.
It's time now to expand that into practical application and test it in a much more informal setting. Wing seeks to expand the breadth of his experience while offering a vast knowledge base teachable to others.

He talked about it plenty so that could easily have happened! We can all this a later thread.
"Korra! It's good to see you well! You had us worried for a while but I'm glad you're back." He looks again at the white creature, curiously trying to make eye contact. "Who's your friend?"

I'm going to assume you mean Wing instead of Drift. XD DARN WHITE KNIGHT MECHS
He assumes the sniffing is a form of greeting, so he kneels slowly, reaching a hand out, palm up in offering, to the white creature. "Hello Naga. I am Wing."
He's half expecting a response. He's not certain if he should be, but he'd rather look the fool for such an expectation than insult a new friend by assuming they were just an animal.
Ohman I'm so sorry! DX
LOL No worries! XD
"So...this is how Naga says hello?"
Good... but maybe a little slimy.
Re: LOL No worries! XD
"So, what kind of kata was that? It looked totally cool!"

"Something for general practice, a rehearsal of the basics while warming up for more intense practice." He grins. "You're familiar with the discipline then? Or something similar?"
