Kate is already in very good shape, with skills in fighting and weapons that allow her to hold her own in the field with superheroes and monsters of all kinds. But all of her training, all of her hard work, the countless adventures she's had across the world, none of that has prepared her for Panem. This situation is beyond anything she could have dreamed up, and so she's now spending over time in the training center, working out and preparing her body for combat. It's not exactly a healthy state of mind she's in, but she's too anxious and frankly too scared to sit around and be idle in this situation.

"Good, but concentrate more on the follow through than the blow. If you end in a position where you must rest before you strike again you will be at a disadvantage."

It was a bit strange to not be yelling and berating when he instructed someone. But it was nice at the same time, and he was just a little surprised at how quickly she took to it.

"You need less instruction than I would have thought."

"This isn't exactly my first rodeo," she said as she assumed the start position again. This time, her movements where slower, aimed more at correcting her positioning than getting in a solid or strong hit. If his advice was worth anything, which she thought it might be, she didn't want to get into a bad habit before she learned to correct it. "But I'm more of a weapons girl than hand-to-hand."

"With a gun in hand and enough bullets I would find this game no challenge at all. But I doubt I will ever find myself with a gun in hand here, they want this to be a somewhat fair fight. So I fight with what I can get."

He nodded as he watched her. She was getting the hang of it and he was a bit impressed. She may favor weapons, but it didn't mean she couldn't be taught anything else.
