Kapitel 8: Colleen Wing And Dojo.

After exiting the train, I walked along the path in Chinatown and pulled out the flier that detailed Colleen Wing's martial arts class location.

I soon reached the area, but I failed to spot the dojo. Instead, I glimpsed a hint of the street obscured by a neon sign from a Chinese restaurant. I paused, blinking at it.

"There it is" I sighed.

'Chikara Dojo'

I noticed the signboard of the dojo owned by Colleen Wing, who was the love interest of Iron Fist. Right now, she is part of the Hand, an organization that manipulates children to make them into deadly weapons.

During the series, she trained young ones for the Hand without knowing that her actions were producing assassins for an underworld organization.

She learned from her grandfather, a samurai, and later trained with her sensei Bakuta, who gifted her the dojo upon finishing her training. The Hand had Bakuta as one of its founding members and its leader, while seeking power, Bakuto imparts his teachings.

He influenced people like Colleen, leading them to think they were acting for the benefit of all mankind.

I let out a sigh at the thought of the Hand and the actions that I observed in the series. I watched just the first episode and a few events from Iron Fist.

I entered the building and saw a staircase that led to the first floor, marked with a sign for the dojo. The setting mirrored what viewers saw in the Netflix series, showcasing yellow hallways and more. I quickly discovered the dojo and halted to glance inside, seeing students in uniform gathered before Colleen, who I must admit looks stunning!

She had an identical appearance to the woman who played Colleen in the show, and I must admit, she looked attractive in her regular training attire that showed off plenty of skin, prompting me to clear my mind of distracting thoughts.

She glanced up and saw me, then nodded for me to come in, which I did with a gulp. I took my shoes off and made my way into the dojo.

The students looked at me, I noticed their gaze, and then I turned to Colleen and said," I wish to learn. Please."

The female ninja smiled. "you came to the right place. Though ah, you don't have to sound like you're in a kung-fu movie, you know."

I laughed while running my fingers through my hair, "Sorry, this is my first time meeting people who know martial artists."

"It's fine, my name is Colleen Wing, and you are?"

" Peter, Peter Parker," I put down my bag and took off my shirt revealing the exercise clothes I had on underneath, "can I start now?"

Collen looked impressed seeing my well-developed physical body" No, not today. For today I want you to stand to the side and watch. Think you can do that Peter?"

I nodded and said," Sure", and then took a seat nearby to observe them closely.

"Right, now then let's begin," Colleen turned to her students. They practised fundamental blade movements, and it appears she is currently teaching them kendo.

Perhaps higher-level classes studied ninjutsu and similar techniques. Maybe only the advanced recruits were even considered for such training? I needed to learn that as well; I need to learn all of them, and maybe I can leave early after learning so I don't get caught up in the main events of Iron Fist.

But for now, I sat down and watched. I utilized Peter's incredible intellect to analyze the swings and foot placements, gaining insight into their movement and reasoning. I studied their movements to understand the different strikes, and I noticed where they went wrong.

After the first session, everyone was sweating; kendo proved to be challenging and involved more than just swinging a sword.

It included a significant amount of physical movement that demanded stamina, but I believe I won't experience any negative effects since I already possess more stamina than an average person.

"Alright, class, good work for today; I'll see you all around tomorrow, same time."

"Joey! Don't be late!"

"I'll try sensei wing "

She smiled while the other students exited, leaving just her and me behind. She took a seat in front of me and smiled, "What are your thoughts? Think you can keep up?"

"If I do will you advance me ahead of the class?" I asked her. She looked surprised, confused even, so I explained,

"They're way too new at this, and it should be beginner class; I'm assuming there are different levels, probably at different times. I was wondering if I learnt them well enough you wouldn't hold me back."

Colleen looked surprised, "I would never hold back a promising student. If I believe you are worthy then yes, I would advance you. But don't get your hope up just yet, Peter; it isn't as easy as it looks."

I grinned and said," We'll find out later, Sensei Wing."

I got up and walked over to the sword stands, picking up a wooden sword, "can I try?"

Colleen looked unsure before shrugging, "Why not? Show me what you got."

I nodded as I proceeded to show her the three katas she had taught the students today. One was a basic attack and block combo, the next one added leg movement and turning the body, and the last one added more complex swings that were difficult for some to do, but thanks to my agility, I managed my own.

Colleen was surprised,

"w-what?! How did you do that? Have you been trained before?"

I shook my head, "No, I just saw how they move and copied it. Well, I also noticed a few mistakes, so I corrected that as well."

Colleen's eyes went wide before she smiled, "I would be honoured to teach you, Peter."

I bowed, "Thank you, Wing sensei, I won't disappoint. Will your next class be coming soon?"

Colleen nodded, "Yes, I have three more classes after this. Why? Do you wish to stay?"

"Yes." I nodded

"Alright, but you mustn't practise the techniques, I show them today, understood? They are extremely dangerous and only a master can perform them without issues. So no getting greedy, understood Peter?"

I smiled," don't worry Sensei, I know my limits "

I spent the next three hours watching students come and go. Colleen is strict with her students; I'm guessing the female ninja must have lived a hard life and taught the beginners first, then more advanced techniques and combat for the second batch.

The third group received training in various hand-to-hand combat techniques, while Colleen drilled the fourth group of just seven individuals intensively to become fighters. I knew this wasn't the full Hand ninja training program; the fourth-class kids were still too full of openings for one to exploit.

These individuals would go to the facility for additional training and brainwashing under Bakuto, a member of the Hand. I remember the Iron Fist saying that the compound is in New York, but I can't recall its precise location. I wish I had watched the first season, but it doesn't matter anyway!

At the end of class, Colleen taught me basic teachings and hand movements, as she did those movements, I was moved, by the way, she bent and did those hard body movements she can be stretched well in bed as well, I chuckled while thinking about indecent thoughts as I copied her moves easily but didn't show her, that I already can do all of these moves she showed.

I paid Colleen for the month and took a train as it was already 9 pm, and I was already late, and May would be mad or worried. I just hope I can handle her... Soon I reached home and rang the bell….
