[ With no introduction... ]

back home, one of the main things I used to do was train people to control their abilities - i've spent quite a number of years teaching myself control through various techniques, as it's pretty essential for me to keep things in check.

in a bid to feel useful to the community, interest check:

anyone want training sessions? whether you have abilities you're struggling with, or are just looking to get some more control over yourself, I can help.

[Or at least, try to. ]

What if someone is just curious to see how you train others to control their abilities?

[tanker]

you're welcome to do that. it's nothing special, honestly. a lot of it is practice and a safe space to allow focus and concentration, and learn what exactly the focus should be. some meditation, sometimes.

i've known a number of people that didn't like being watched, and i'd prefer to respect their wishes, but otherwise, feel free

[potentialed]

Of course. I try to allow the same to anyone coming to me for help.

I am familiar with meditation being helpful, too. Not for everyone tho.

What can you do?

[tanker]

in terms of training, or my own abilities?

[kierkegaard]

[ in the words of the great leo valdez, "por que no los dos" ]

Both.

How are you defining 'abilities', out of curiosity?

[tanker]

powers, usually. although it doesn't have to be, i can also help with most combat skills as well, and just. If someone needs some more control, or more focus, I have some tools that can help.

[thestarling]

Powers? Like superhuman things? Is that common where you come from?

[deathkid]

training sessions, huh?
that might make this place feel more like home.

ever dealt with demigods before?

[tanker]

can't say that I have, but i'm sure we can work something out. it might just be about scale

[deathkid]

well, i'm a demigod
son of hades
so my powers generally are related to raising the dead
and controlling spirits/ghosts.
i can also travel via the shadows
and walk through people's dreams.
most of my training centers on sparring
and sword fighting, though
can you help with that?

[viatorius]

holler if you need like, a reference or something.
i'll make sure it says all the good stuff.

[tanker]

i actually had a moment wondering if i should list credentials, but i don't think i should take the credit for you.

[ That's still kind of an awkward sticking point... ]

[viatorius]

( Everything's cool, it's fine, they're all good. )

i mean, aside from that you did have some pretty good tips.
still not in touch with my spirit animal though.

[foxtrots]

it doesn't involve a special diet, does it?

[minsu you already on a special diet.]

[tanker]

might depend on the type of powers we're dealing with, but I highly doubt it

although i'd always recommend a healthy diet

[sentiences]

I would like to see your techniques, if you don't mind.

[tanker]

you're welcome to. I like to think some things are useful to everyone.

[starfortress]

what kind of abilities.

[tanker]

any. what kind of ability do you have?

[mysophobic]

Have you ever...dealt with someone who loses control of themselves because they get...possessed in a sense?

[tanker]

not exactly, but I've dealt with Mutants who lose themselves in their power and it *feels* like they're an entirely different person.
The least we can look into, if you're interested, would be to make sure you're the one in charge of when these changes happen?

I could probably do with brushing off some rust!
Been a while since I practiced Muay Thai.
I don't got any powers, but being more in control is never a bad thing.

[tanker]

I'd agree

[ Because being in control is so important to him. ]

as for the muay thai, I don't know the technique but I can definitely spar. Maybe you could teach me a few tricks.
