Owner Pose
Richard Dragon It is a quiet day in the small street where Richard Dragon is renting a small place that he turned in a small dojo and into his living place. Surely, seen from outside, the structure on the ground floor of an average building in Brooklin isn't that special, and probably seen from the inside it isn't much either, just a large rectangular room with its high ceiling supported by four wooden pillars and the walls lined with racks of training weapons. On the floor, tatami mats are set to offer a good training surface, and on one side, a low table is set with a couple of chairs around it, one of which is occupied by Richard Dragon himself, drinking serenely a cup of tea.
Wearing just a pair of black pants and a sleeveless shirt of the same color, the man is just sitting there, sipping his tea, probably thinking about only he knows where as there's no student in his relatively unknown dojo, for now. True, he has been training some people as of late, and the word about his current location is around in the right circles, yet fortunately noone still arrived to challenge him, and no great heroes have recently approached him for training, just the average boys and girls of the neighbourhood, for now.
Andre Jackson     His family came to New York to spend time with one another, his aunt who is living in New York. With everyone at the house or out shopping, and so with that being the case, Andre has been out walking around. He's been looking to get back into his martial arts training and honestly it's been pretty hard to find a quality teacher, he didn't like just going into random dojos and listening to all the boasting some of the teachers typically do.

    As Dre walks along one street and turns down a corner, he was directed this way by an old man he knew pretty well in China Town, he wasn't sure about this, but Andre did make his way to the old dojo. He knocks on the door than enters inside, he takes a moment to look around, "Hello?" he asks as he steps in closing the door behind him.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon isn't expecting anyone, but after all his door is always open so as soon as Andre walks in, Richard places his cup of tea down on its saucer and smoothly stands up to perform a polite bow as a welcoming gesture. "good day!" he speaks, still standing close to the table "how may I be of assistance?" he inquires then
Andre Jackson     Andre blinks, he wasn't expecting to see someone here, he smiles. "Hello." he says as he bows to the man before him. His bow is a little sloppy, but he brings his hands in front of him, making a fist in one hand and bringing the palm of his left hand against the fist. "I was told to come meet a Richard Dragon. I'm looking for a sensei to continue my martial training." he says waiting to be told to rise.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon listens to the explanation, then smiles and nods in understanding "ah! Please rise back up" he says, stepping around the table and approaching the man "I am Richard Dragon. A pleasure to meet you" he introduces himself, now stopping his steps four metres in front of Andre
Andre Jackson     Standing up fully as he looks to Richard, "Cool name, I'm Andre Jackson, from Gotham and visitng family here in New York." he chuckles. "I wasn't sure if I was being told truth about this place but I guess I stand corrected." he laughs as he looks to Richard.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon returns the look calmly, letting his arms fall down his sides "well, then, mister Jackson, in what style are you trained and to what level?" he asks, visually examining the man considering and analyzing his posture, as well as the signs of various martial types, such as the flattened ears of some kendo practitioners, the broken tibiae of some muai tai fighters, the scarred knuckles of judokas or the bruised hands of fist based fighting styles.
Andre Jackson     There are some bruises along his hands if he sees them, "I was trained in Wing Chun, though it's a variant family style." he says as eh looks to Richard, studying the man. It's been a while since he's trained with a master but he can tell by looking at Richard he has vast amounts of expeirence. Andre is one of untapped potential and is someone who needs that cultivation to become better.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon nods in understanding, his eyes finishing their examination "well then! I would say show me?" he asks, smiling and tilting his head slightly to the right "and, to show me, you can choose whichever modality you prefer." he adds. The choice on how to proceed, then, it's Andre's and Andre's alone.
Andre Jackson     He backs away and begins looking around the room they are in. He didn't know if he wanted to fight or not, but Andre was going to play it safe. After taking in a deep breath, he begins moving slow at first goin through his katas, but soon he was moving faster. Even though his posture was bad, his form is sleek and on point or well to what he thinks anyways.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon leans on one of the nearby pillars and watches carefully, examining the kata and considering its every part. He remains quiet during the demonstration, letting the man perform it in a quiet environment. At its end, Richard nods slightly "aah, well. Not bad. Some improvement could be made for sure, but generally speaking, not bad..."
Andre Jackson     Finishing with a high kick, he bows to Richard, "Thank you." he says as he looks at Richard. "Well that's why I'm here, I want to expand and continue my journey in this world." he says as he looks to Dragon.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon nods in understanding and steps forward "well, if I recognize the kata you just performed, I'll show you how it should have been, and then how you did it..." he says before starting to perform the exact same kata. His movements are fluid, those of someone who trained in martial arts for the last four decades without ever stopping. He performs the kata to its end, going slowly enough that every movement can be analyzed, then performs it again, though this time, he tries to copy exactly how Andre did it.
Andre Jackson     Andre watches as he sees his own kata being performed, he blinks a few tiems, "Whoa. This is pretty amazing." he says as he looks to Richard, "So does this mean you will take me on as your student?" he asks as he looks at Richard, it's scary how he's able to mimic his abilities, and do it far better than he did.
Richard Dragon Richard Dragon performs a small bow to complete the kata, then turns towards what probably will be his new student "I will, yes. Though, the next time, we'll talk about your motivations for continuing your training! Unfortunately I will need to leave soon for today, but I will be glad to see you again in the next days to start the training. You have quite a lot of potential, it just needs to be ccultivated and allowed to grow into true skill"
Andre Jackson     Bowing his head, he smiles as he watches and as he watched he saw where he did get sloppy, "Damn I did see where I screwed up at. Well with this training, I can get back to where I was a few years ago." he says as he looks to Richard. He smiles when he is told he would be taken on as a student, "Thank you, I will see you in a few days."
