"Tae." Mirch said as he raised his leg upwards as he tried balancing himself as he hopped around for a bit before placing his left leg back down on the ground looking around. "The next lesson is kicks." The helper shinigami said as Mirch nodded as he understood that an arsenal of punches would be useless as this type of martial arts requires the whole body. Before the lessons on the other kicks, Mirch was going to practice kicks in general to warm up as he asked the helper bring him a training dummy as he preferred to save the actual training to the shinigami. "What I'm going to attempt is a bit different, so do not pay heed to me when you notice I have failed in my attempt." Mirch warned as he was going to attempt an odd combination of freestyle kicking; an enzuigiri kick into a double leg-drop on the shoulders. He realized this was out of place, but he had to test this maneuver so he would have no regrets for trying it on the battlefield out of place.

Mirch stared at the dummy as he began running at it with the intent to strike as he had remembered the positions and motions he had to do. The enzuigiri kick was set up so in case on of his foot should be caught, he could counter, however he was going to have to create his own feint. Mirch was now in distance as he had to take his momentum and use it as he raised his left foot as if about to stomp on the dummy's chest, but that was not the true strike Mirch was setting up for. Using the dummy as a step, he brought himself up as he swung around his right foot to the back of the dummy's head, connecting the strike. Next was the difficult part, he had to roll in the air as he needed to test out the double leg-drop to the shoulders. He began to rotate his body as he felt his body falling after losing his momentum as he was facing the ground now as couldn't complete the roll as his legs hung off the dummy's shoulders. He screamed a bit before hitting his forehead on the ground.

"Mirch-san!" The one who had fetched the dummy came to his side as he lifted his body up to take him off the dummy as he placed his on his back. "Are you alright?" He asked as Mirch shook his head and rubbed his forehead a bit. "I am fine Kai, let us continue the lessons, what is the first kick to learn?" The helper with the information nodded to the helper known as Kai as he moved himself to the wall watching the two. "Side kick or the Round kick, is known as Tae Tad. A common attack in Muay Thai as maintaining control has a low difficulty with balance being maintained." Mirch nodded as he looked at the dummy with focus as the information shinigami gave the last bit of information. "Swing your leg and motion your hip in the same direction and Tae Tad shall be done."

Mirch walked towards the dummy as he took a deep breath as he brought his right foot back as he was going to try ten Tae Tad kicks per foot.
