Pairing: Jamie Reagan X Fire Fighter Reader

Words: 1700

Warning: This chapter focuses around learning attack strategy, please be cautious if this can be difficult. I recommend watching Chelsea Kyann tutorials about self-defense. Also some cursing, eventual angst, eventual fluff

As much as it displeased you, it was nice to have a male volunteer. It was usually one of your brothers or one of the guys from the station. Usually they are pretty distracting for the ladies at first, but it was able to show them potential real-life scenarios. However, it did feel strange bossing a Reagan around. Eddie, Jamie, and a friend who was a fighting instructor for jujitsu named Chloe.

Chloe walked up to you, leaning in, “Well this is new, what a snack.”

You and her watched Eddie and Jamie chatted with a few regulars. You could tell it meant a lot to them both to build rapport with the community. It felt strange to not see a Reagan male not take up so much space and give off an ego, testosterone driven vibe. If his brother were in this space, he would show the woman he is a strong powerful male, who will protect and avenge their justice. Jamie vibe was a bit different and you couldn’t necessarily map it, which bothered the shit of you. Acknowledging Chloe’s statement, you made a vomiting sound in your mouth, “Get your mind out of the gutter.”

She looked at you strangely, straightening up and turning to look directly at you, “Something weird is going on.” She looked at you closer, Chloe had a psychology degree and loves to add her own analyses to things. Usually she only uses it to counselor some women after a bad trigger or if they want to open about a past trauma. Before she can pick your brain or poke you, you clap your hands heading towards the crew.

This caught Jamie’s reaction, as you ignored the mischievous look your friend is giving from behind you. He turned his body to face you, “What do you need boss?”

You shook you head, “Don’t call me that,” you point at him. You spend the time to give the group of women a greeting before directing instructions towards the pair, “So Eddie, I’d love for you to help pair women up and volunteer to be someone’s partner. Chloe usually floats because she is the true expert when it comes to fighting techniques.”

“Sounds great,” Eddie nodded.

Clearing your throat, you look at Jamie, “I don’t think I have to tell you, but most women in these classes had some bad experience with a man.” He nodded his head slightly, still listening, “I don’t let men come to this particular class to learn for a reason. Though usually a guy plays an especially important role in this class.”

Jamie looked excited, rubbing his hands together, “What is it?”

“My dummy,” you smirk. Eddie chuckled into her hand, trying to make it sound like a cough. You took a second to think about your feelings, a glow of satisfaction to be able to kick the crap of a Reagan and nervousness, though you couldn’t pin point why, “That’s not a problem is it?”

He shook his head, “Use me any way you need,” he tried not to smirk.

You look him up and down, looking unamused by his comment, “Stay hydrated, I don’t need you passing out,” you said walking away to prep your resources and workspace.

Eddie tapped him on the chest, “Real smooth Romeo.”

He looked down at her, before glancing back towards you, “I think I got a chance.”

Straightening up to look at him directly, she wore an amused look at her face, “That woman is going to eat you alive.”

 You had all the women pair up and explained the boundaries and expectations of the class, like not pushing themselves and taking a break if they feel overwhelmed or exhausted. It’s a rousing speech about the realities of being a woman and how to be a community. You introduced your volunteers before instructing each of them to discuss their comfortability level with their partners, as well a little about themselves. This gave you time to look at Jamie to explain some of the movies and what he should do, “You got to make it real,” you say to him. “Don’t be gentle, don’t hold back, the best these women can learn is if they see what it’ll possibly look like in real life if it happens.”

“If I were to hold back, it would be because I know you can kick my ass,” he whispered down to you, “But I get your point.” He looked around to the women talking, “You did quite a thing here, I wish we had a program like this.”

You blinked a few times, looking taken back. You never anticipated hearing something nice from a Reagan, well at least a young Reagan, “Thank you.” You instructed the women to wrap it up to start the officially lesson.

Jamie noticed how you got flustered after his compliment. He decided to break whatever tension you were feeling, “Should we have like a safe word?”

You smirk, not looking at him, “Just tap out Reagan, give me a few taps.”

 You hated to say it, but Jamie was a great asset. As you taught the class about getting attacked in different scenarios, from the front, the back, with a weapon, etc, he was patient with you tossing him around and hurting him in various ways. He and Eddie were able to add some insight from the police perspective. And he was extremely good at complimenting and empowering the woman. Honestly, outside of enjoying beating up on a Reagan, he was a great member of the team.

This was the last exercise of the day, where the attack gets them on the ground. This was the first time Jamie seemed hesitant, “Well let’s go dummy,” a few woman chuckle.

Taking a deep breath, Jamie gets on top of you and you start your instructions, like how to use your legs, how to protect your body, different ways to use your own weight as your weapon. Your favorite instruction dealt with using the attacker’s shirt as your weapon. It didn’t have to do with as much strength as it was strategy. Jamie rapidly tap at your waist, you let go and bounced up before instructing the pairs to try. Jamie finally caught his breath stepping up to you, “I wish Danny knew who scary you were.”

You let a laugh leave your mouth while watching some pairs. You give him one more smile before walking away to give some individual tips.

 After some talking with some of the students and cleaning up, Chloe and Eddie were talking about the next lesson when Jamie approached you, “This was really great, I hope you keep me in mind to help even if I’m a Reagan.”

You look away from the brochures in your hands, “The jury is still out on you, but I’m getting a vibe you are different from your brothers.” You put rest of the stuff in your resource box, “Thank you for your help, you are always welcomed.” Jamie was about to say something, “But don’t think for a second I’m letting my guard down, this might be a ploy from Danny about getting in my head. I’ve got my eyes on you and him.”

He put up his hands defensively, “If that was ever a plan, I would never start something with you after what I learned today.”

You jabbed at him, “And that is just the tip of the iceberg there sparky, spread the word don’t mess with Y/N Y/L/N.”

Shaking his head, fighting this feeling on intrigue he has about you, “I will definitely spread the word of your power to all who can hear, mainly Danny.” You smirk holding your box, waving to Chloe as she headed out, “Look Eddie and I are grabbing a beer, would you want to join us?”

Eddie was casually looking at you both from the stairs. You were taken back for a second, “Oh, I’m sorry. I just got done working a 48-hour shift, I’m dead on my feet. But thank you, like for everything.”

“My pleasure, really and maybe next time,” he started to walk you towards the entrance, meeting up with Eddie, “You wouldn’t want to walk us to our car, would you,” he joked at you.

You genuinely laughed, shaking your head. You plopped your box in you back seat before looking at him. Eddie tried to stop her scoff of his response. He surprised you differently from any other Reagan including his sister and father, “I don’t believe that in necessary, I felt all that muscle you got underneath there,” you point towards his clothing. “Plus, you’ve got Eddie I know she saves you all the time from humiliation, attackers, etc.”

“She’s got that right,” she pointed at you, “Bye Y/N.”

Jamie started to walk backwards in the direction of Eddie, “I’ll see you later Y/N.”

“Take your time,” you smile back at him, “I’ve had my monthly fill of Reagan males.”

You got in your car, starting it up, and driving off. Something was different and you didn’t take the time to acknowledge your physical attraction to the younger Reagan. It was easy to distract your thoughts when teaching self-defense, but now all you could think about was Jamie’s body and how it felt around you.

 Eddie teased Jamie some more about the interaction between the two of you, “Hey man, you’re making waves. This time she didn’t show her teeth and she acknowledged your assets,” she gestured to his body.

He rolled his eyes, “Shut up.” He drank some of his beer, “I’m not crazy right, you see the chemistry?”

“Oh no, you’re crazy,” she commented. “But I do like to watch you try to be charming and epically get torn apart by her,” she added.

He shook his head thinking about you, you had a good feeling and it had nothing to do with hate, “Whatever, I am charming.”

Eddie scoffed before getting distracted by a game on a tv.

Twelve Beautiful Details About Kali Escrima

If you want to discover to use and prevent weapons, it's difficult to beat the Filipino martial arts (typically called kali and eskrima). Unlike many designs, nearly all Filipino arts put weapon training initially. While various FMAs specialize in various weapons, many of them include training with blunt and sharp weapons of various lengths, from palm sticks and knives to sticks and swords. In addition to these modern weapons being readily available today, skill in using them also moves effectively to daily items, and the empty hand applications can be extremely effective. Distinct, Practical Skills Fighting with and against weapons is significantly various from unarmed combating. A person can block a punch or a kick utilizing their arm as a shield or cover. The same can not be safely done against a machete or knife attack and would also be reckless even against a stick. Therefore getting out of the way using footwork is of primary significance. Due to the fact that the Filipino martial arts concentrate on armed fighting, the footwork in the majority of kali eskrima is distinct, dynamic, and really efficient. Defense create the chance for angles and approaches of attack that are uncommon in unarmed combating. However unusual does not equal inefficient. The unarmed techniques in lots of FMAs come straight from armed strategies, causing unexpected and practical applications. Training the distinct footwork and weapon strategies of the FMAs will add another dimension to your abilities. See my stick and sword page for video examples of stick and sword techniques combined with FMA footwork. FMA Training Like all practical martial arts training, FMA training must consist of practice versus totally resisting, uncooperative challengers that are fighting back. Unfortunately, this is doing not have in a fantastic many FMA schools. Due to the fact that real stick and sword battling is uncommon today, a lot of specialists don't require their strategies to work. As a result of this missing need combined with cooperative training, lots of inadequate methods and drills are common in kali and eskrima. Furthermore, cult like followings and superstitious notions have established in a variety of FMAs (see here and here). See my self defense training page to learn what requires to be included to keep your training functional. The truth that many FMAs today are non-functional should not nevertheless remove from the impressive footwork, techniques, and weapon training among them. On the pages listed below, you'll discover practical weapon strategies and training methods that will seriously increase your skill in self-defense. 1. Sticks are an extension of the hands; without the hands, there can be no sticks. This is worth understanding since people still like to ask, in some cases sarcastically, "Why do you practice stick battling-- it's not like you carry sticks everywhere you go?" It's good to be able to answer them, and it's excellent to be able to advise yourself when you require to. Although specialists of many designs do lip service to this statement, just specialists of the Filipino martial arts back it up by doing the exact same precise techniques with and without weapons. 2. The Filipino martial arts (kali, escrima, arnis) teach weapons first, after which come the empty-hand methods. Although it may seem backwards to some martial artists, many, if not all, FMA hand-to-hand battle methods stem from the principles that underlie the historical stick and sword movements.

3. The Filipino martial arts represent the most well-rounded and practical combating techniques on the planet. How so? They're well-rounded because they cover all ranges in which combat takes place: long range (kicking), middle range (boxing, elbowing, kneeing) and short variety (getting, poking, biting, grappling). They're useful in that they do not focus on expensive or complex relocations that are most likely to fail under duress. Even the types (anyo) utilized by some Filipino systems are composed of real combating relocations. Historically, those elements were hidden in a dance (sayaw) for a range of factors.

What is the distinction in between Arnis, Kali and Eskrima?

The Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), like other Martial Arts, is a tree with numerous branches. ... Escrima/ Eskrima, is from a Spanish term which means 'fencing'. Its influence was more from the main part of the Philippines. The functionality of the Filipino arts is improved by the versatility of the weapons. At long range, you can utilize the tip of the stick or sword; at middle variety, you can use the body of the stick or the blade of the sword; and at brief range, you can use the bottom part of the stick (punyo) or manage of the sword. 4. The Filipino martial arts are the only ones that can match any other battling design. They do not contravene other styles; they actually strengthen them. That consists of kicking arts, hand-based arts, pure self-defense arts, and grappling and tossing arts. 5. Stick fighting is suitable-- and helpful-- for everyone. For children, sinawali is appropriate. This kind of double-stick combating reinforces the limbs and develops hand-eye coordination in addition to any sport. Kids likewise benefit from the character training that occurs when they learn how to securely manage weapons that are possibly unsafe. For lots of, this setting is preferable to the old method-- which is how I found out. When I was young, my grandpa taught me to deal with a live blade while learning how to use it for survival and self-defense. (My first lesson: how to hand a knife to another person.). For ladies, the Filipino arts are perfect because even the smallest hands can hold a knife and wield it in lethal fashion. With very little training, a lady will have the ability to keep almost any sane aggressor at bay. For the ridiculous ones who approach anyhow, they risk getting cut or killed. Don't believe it? Try this experiment: Offer a lady you know a marker, then effort to get near her without getting inked. It's hard to do. Once she's taught how to discreetly bring and draw the weapon, your job will be significantly tougher. Appropriately armed, she'll be able to genuinely protect herself, even versus several aggressors. For law enforcement officers and members of the military, the Filipino arts supply a necessary set of skills-- namely, those that include the tactical knife. Our combating males and females need genuine blade abilities, both offending and defensive, and the Filipino arts are amongst the few on earth that have been checked in battle.

6. The Filipino martial arts help you link the dots in your self-defense training by concentrating on flexible concepts rather than a various strategy for every scenario. FMA instructors talk about angles of attack rather than specific attacks. When you have the ability to discern whether an attack is originating from the within or the outdoors and whether it's from the left or the right, you have the base you need to deal with it. After that, your training will be about developments and mixes including those fundamentals. If your instructor is excellent, you will not ever find yourself splitting hairs over whether you require to prevent a punch, a grab or a push delivered from the front due to the fact that in FMA, they're dealt with the exact same-- as a direct straight attack. 7. Stick battling is not practically using your weapon. It's also about utilizing our opponent's weapon versus him. That expression is frequently invoked but seldom does it manifest in practice. 8. Filipino weapons training encompasses a lot more than just standard sticks and knives. The techniques you find out in FMA deal with sticks and knives, but in some areas, individuals aren't permitted to carry such defensive executes. Fortunately, you can use the abilities to pretty much anything-- a walking stick, a mobile phone, a credit card, a toothpick, an umbrella and even a bottle of water. 9. Using up the Filipino martial arts can reinvigorate your training, whether you're a novice or a master. It's the reason they're so enticing to practitioners of other arts. Once you have a strong foundation, you can find out many of the relocations using books and DVDs. However don't forgo master-to-student interaction altogether. The significance, concepts, significance and history behind the methods and drills are, for the most part, concealed. You'll require a genuine master to assist you interpret them. Throughout Philippines history, the martial arts style kali escrima arnis filipino martial arts helped Filipinos safeguard themselves against invaders.

Kali's history is no different. However, it is typically thought that the native Filipino styles related to it were started by various people to protect themselves. It is also rather possible that these styles initially emanated from or were strongly influenced by martial arts from other areas, such as India.

Regardless, the paperwork suggests that Filipino Martial Arts designs were utilized when the Spanish Conquistadores gotten here in the 1500s and generally varied based on the people or location of origin.
