| ![]() Paige: But, Mr. Logan, Kitty's got implanted demon ninja knowledge, and you've been practicing, like, forever? How will we ever learn to fight like that? It's practically impossible! Logan: Yer kiddin', right? You think it takes lifetimes to get this good? Well, on that you're right. But that don't mean that you can't learn to fight, even with a few years' work. You won't be a master, but you'll know what works and how to apply it. All it takes is concentration and lots of practice. Take Cyclops, for example. Most of his life just used his powers to blast through things. But a couple'a years back he lost control of the X-Men to Storm (who was powerless at the time) when she snatched his visor and he couldn't see. Jubilee: No way! Logan: Way. So he started training, so the next time he couldn't see, he wouldn't be helpless. Let's see what happened.
Pryde: Note Cyclops’s joint lock on the opponents thumb to attain a leverage advantage and control over his opponent’s movements. Note also the spin of Cyclops’ body in order to attain the proper torque and momentum required to complete this complicated throw. Logan: I gotta hand it ta old “One-Eye,” he did himself proud in that one. Blind as a bat, no control over his powers, and he handled six guys barehanded. Not bad at all. Pryde: You see, Paige, it doesn't take a lifetime to learn how to defend yourself. All it takes is practice and dedication. And someone to show you how. Logan: Which brings us to the next part of the class… practical application. This is the part where you start wishin' you hadn't given me all that trouble. 'Cause now I get ta repay it… with interest. Startin' tomorrow, I expect ya all to be dressed fer fightin'… and fer a lot of fallin' down. (With an evil grin) See ya tomorrow, kiddies… class dismissed.
