Connor is a firm believer in the school of hard knocks, and he'll give her some later, but he also believes she should be given the tools to adequately defend herself, first. "Copy, and be aware of all parts of your body." He begins to move her slowly through sword kata, flowing from one pose to the next and holding each to give her time to mimic it. He goes through a chain of a dozen poses, and repeats the cycle until he can see she's memorized most of them, before he begins to nudge and critique her form in each one. He's a very quiet, calm teacher. He's patient, but he gives neither compliments nor insults. For now. It's also obvious he's been through all this before, more than once.
