Does Ladies Self Defence count as foreplay?

Anne runs you through the basics before class. "All right, Joe, you'll be playing the attacker, and I'll be demonstrating countermoves and escapes."

You survey the training studio. It's covered in athletic mats, so at least there's not a concrete pool deck to crack your head on, like the day you met Karen Yoshida, with her foot in a high kick to your breastbone.

"All right, just make sure nobody's going full force," you say.

Anne nods. "We're just running through the moves. But you'll need to be ready to fall down, right?"

You open your mouth to reply, but before a word gets out, Anne applies a leg sweep. The world tilts. Your arms immediately splay out to break your fall with a slap! on the athletic mats.

"Good, Joe, that's the way."

Anne gives you the rest of the briefing.

"So, anything special, I mean?" you ask. "For Ms. Yoshida?"

"Just be a hunk. Do what I tell you in class. We'll break a little early. See if she's in the mood to borrow my fiancé."

The hour arrives, and Anne's Women's Self-Defence students filter in, wearing sweats or leotards. One woman has jeans. Anne looks her over, checks that they're cut loose enough to move, and accepts her. Karen shows up halfway through the group and notices you right away.

"Oh, hey Joe," Karen says. "Why are you here?"

You nod in Anne's direction. "My boss. For my other job. She tapped me to be the model attacker for her class tonight. Go easy on me, okay?"

Karen gets a strange expression on her face. Is she going to laugh? Frown? Stomp out? But she takes a breath. "Anne told me..." She pauses and nods. "Okay Joe. Not too hard."

Anne calls the class to order, lets them know the agenda, and starts things out with breathing and stretching exercises. "Joe, will you follow along with me and make sure the stretches are right, the angles?" She walks through the class, using Karen as the model. "You see, ladies, Karen has the right angles for the leg stretch? Joe, come here and show the angles the class should be at. The muscle, along here, that should be taut."

Karen's a good sport as Anne directs her to assume various stretching poses. Anne moves among the other students, pointing to Karen as the model, and tells you to touch Karen to indicate which limbs should be tense and where, and what angle to hold them.

Anne describes, then demonstrates several escape moves and distractions.

"You see, ladies, if a man grabs you from behind, you have several options. Joe, would you be so kind...?"

Anne is brisk and firm in her demonstration, but doesn't hit you hard enough to poke an eye, or bruise a shin, or injure a foot or ankle.

"And there are a few where being smaller, having a low centre of gravity, that's an advantage, see?"

Anne demonstrates a flat drop, suddenly putting her full weight on your arms and breaking your grip. Then she shows a forward drop, holding onto your arms and quickly stooping, pulling you forward. This one you know to let go.

"Well done, Joe, you let me go, for if you hadn't, you'd be lying winded on your back in front of me, like as not with a nasty neck strain."

There's a little ripple of laughter. The class is nodding, smiling, or for the woman in blue jeans, grinning at how Anne is demonstrating how simple, decisive moves can break a hold or put an attacker at a disadvantage.

"Now Joe, let's go through the class. Ladies, we're going to go through the moves at slow speed. Slow, you understand. We'll start with the shin rake, see? You'll want regular soles for this. If you have a peg heel, or a stiletto, you'd just step down on the top of his foot with your full weight, smoothly and strongly, don't kick and twist your ankle. Now here we go. Miranda, are you ready? All right, the rest of you watch. Good, now Joe...?"

You're only slightly bruised by the first run-through of escapes and countermoves. Karen trembles, and you worry if she's going to go full force, but she follows Anne's directions and goes through the moves several times, slow and steady.

Toward the end of the class, you put on front pads to be the model for receiving punches and kicks. Anne goes through some basic combinations. You have occasion to practice your back falls as she connects. Two other students get coached through the moves.

"Not quite so high," Anne directs the woman in the blue jeans. "That puts you off balance, and if he catches your heel, you're the one going over on her arse."

The woman nods and steps back.

"Ms. Yoshida, would you come up and demonstrate, as I asked you? Now, the rest of you, don't try this at home, learn it from some place that teaches it."

Karen comes up to the front. Anne puts you in your places. You step slowly towards her, raising your arms.

Whap! you're on your back, propelled by a kick on the thick pad covering your breastbone.

"Are you okay, Joe?" Karen asks. "I didn't go too hard?" She's crouching beside your head, like your fateful meeting in her backyard.

You do the fish mouth thing for a second or two. Karen looks alarmed.

You clear your throat. "No, I'm okay, Karen, barely winded. S'okay. Good job."

Karen gives a sigh of relief. "Good."

Anne breaks class a little early and calls Karen over for a chat, asking a few questions about her technique and training.

"Mostly video lessons?" Karen says. "And I have a studio at home. Um." Karen's doing her best to be polite and composed in front of Anne, but she gives little sidelong glances at you. Your exercise shorts, of thin fabric, do little to hide the definite chub in your pants.

Anne works around toward the subject. "I was surprised when Joe told me he knew my latest student, from his other job," she said. "It's a small world, and it seems like we have something in common?"

"Oh?" Karen says. Her face goes unreadable again.

"Yes, does Joe give you massages?" Anne says. "He's such an angel that way, for me. Joe?"

You play along. "Of course, Ms. Campion," you tell her. You look up at the wall clock. "The gym is closed, so if you want your regular after-class, of course." You nod to Karen. "You're invited as well, if you'd like."

You know the feel of Karen's taut muscles, and especially her fiercely clutching anal ring at orgasm.

"Oh, do come along, Joe is just an angel with his hands," Anne says.
