The next day, Gustavo was ready to welcome Kendall and her friends to his home. He organized the space in the garden for the fighting and self-defense technique class. When they arrived, the reception was warm. Gigi, Fai, Hailey, Justin and Kendall were excited and curious, ready to learn from Gustavo, who greeted them with his confident smile.
Gustavo, always objective, began the explanation with a serious but motivating tone:
— Today, we are going to learn some basic fighting and self-defense techniques. Believe me, this is something everyone should know. No matter how confident you feel in your day-to-day life, unexpected situations happen. Knowing how to defend yourself can save your life or someone else's. —
The friends paid close attention as Gustavo demonstrated defense moves, explaining the importance of body control, speed and precision. He taught them how to free themselves from grabs, how to take down an opponent, and also some basic self-defense moves.
The class became more dynamic when Gustavo asked everyone to try the moves he had just taught them. He patiently corrected them and encouraged them when they managed to perform the moves accurately.
"Good one, Hailey! That's right, use your weight against him," Gustavo said, as he helped her perfect a move to defend against a grab.
Justin, Fai, and Gigi also actively participated, laughing among themselves when they made mistakes, but determined to learn.
"I didn't know you were so strong, Gigi!" Kendall commented jokingly as she watched her friend practice the moves.
In addition to learning, the camaraderie between them was growing. Gustavo, with his humble and patient manner, was gaining the trust of Kendall's friends.
"You're doing great. The most important thing is to never underestimate a situation. Staying calm and applying what we learned here can make all the difference — Gustavo advised, concluding the first part of the training.
After a few hours of training, Gustavo stopped and summarized the lessons:
— What we practiced today is basic, but effective. With practice, these movements can become automatic. Tomorrow, at the shooting range, we will enter another level of preparation. Get ready to learn how to handle different types of weapons. —
Before leaving, everyone gathered for a group photo, still sweaty and excited from training. Kendall, with his arm around Gustavo, smiled for the camera, while the other friends positioned themselves next to him, forming a circle of friendship and trust.
— This photo is going to be epic! — said Fai, already planning to post it on social media after they had gone through all of Gustavo's teachings.
After saying goodbye, Gustavo reiterated the invitation for the next meeting:
— Tomorrow, 10 am at the shooting range. Get ready for a day full of practice and learning. —
Kendall and his friends left, still chatting excitedly about what they had learned and how much they were looking forward to the next day. The experience with Gustavo was proving to be not only educational, but also strengthening the bonds between them, bringing something new and exciting to their lives.
The next day promised to be just as amazing, with the expectation of learning completely new skills at the shooting range.
