You were exited to go to Mike's class, it was sweet of him to reach out and invite you. You pulled on your combat boots and tied your hair into a ponytail, you never wore your hair up, only for sport and such, you took pride in your long silky hair and wearing it down was a style you were always pleased with. You walked down to the gymnasium, it was pretty massive, the sounds of people exercising echoed through the open space. Lot's of them were doing combat training, some kind of martial arts, pinning each other to the floor, yanking their arms behind them until they slammed their hands onto the mat for mercy.
"Well look who it is", someone behind you said.
You turned to face a man in a tank top with heavily tattooed arms, you looked up, Dominic grinned down at you. You hadn't seen him without his jacket on, it was tied around his waist currently, he looked good, fit, his tattoos made his arms look bigger.
"Hallo y/n, enjoying the view?", Dominic raised his eyebrow teasingly.
"Hi Dominic, what are you doing here", you crossed your arms and smiled.
"The old man has his class today, question is, why are you here?".
"I'm here for Mike's class too".
"Oh really? Will you be participating?".
"Yup, not on the really physical stuff".
"Good luck with that, Mike's classes are pretty hands on".
"Y/n! Ah ya' came", Mike called at you cheerfully.
"Wouldn't miss it!", you strolled over to him, Dominic following closely.
"Roping in new recruits are we Großvater?", Dominic joked.
Mike's face fell and he scowled slightly.
"Brunsmeier... on time for once".
A few more people arrived, a man and a woman conversing at a rapid pace in french, a Spanish dude as well as James accompanied by an aggressive looking British woman.
"I'd like ya' all to meet y/n, she'll be joining us today and learning the ropes, go easy on this one. Now then, get your partners and start with the warm up", everyone paired up. The two women, the Spanish and french guys and Mike and James all began with their warm up exercises which consisted of an obscene amount of push ups and sit ups.
"Are ya' alright partnering with Dominic y/n?" Mike asked.
You glanced at Dominic, not really, but you and him were the only ones without partners.
"Not a problem".
"Alright y/n, let's get physical", Dominic smirked.
Dominic dropped to the floor and began his set of push ups. You positioned yourself for your first push up, you could do them, about ten before your arms gave out. Lowering yourself onto your first push up, Dominic stopped you.
"Woah woah, here let me fix", Dominic pulled your arms in so they weren't so far apart.
"Keep your butt down, you have to be straight like a plank".
You began your second push up which was a little easier. Dominic was powering on, counting under his breath.
"...33, 34, 35, 36...".
His arms worked like pistons, in rhythm. He pulled one arm behind his back and his rhythm still wasn't interrupted.
"Okay, that should do it", everyone stopped their warm up. You had only done six push ups but that was quite enough for you.
"Alright you lot, everyone start out practising your knee breakdowns, make sure ya' use the boxing pad this time Ryad", Mike raised his eyebrow at the Spanish man who frowned.
"Y/n, come over 'ere", Mike waved you over to an empty mat.
"Dominic and I are goin' to demonstrate what you'll be learning, trust me, it comes in handy", Mike winked.
Dominic and Mike stood on the mat, both their fists raised. Dominic struck first, aiming a blow at Mikes head, he ducked out of the way and took a step back.
"Come back here old man", Dominic smirked.
Dominic pursued him and tried to kick Mike in the thigh, who lifted his leg so Dominic missed his strike. Dominic raised his leg and kicked much higher, Mike whipped his forearm out to block the kick. Dominic threw another punch at Mike, this time Mike grabbed his arm and pulled it forward, twisted it over his shoulder and flipped Dominic over his back onto the floor.
"Old am I?", Mike grinned at Dominic, sprawled on the mat, groaning as he found his feet.
"I won't be doing that will I?", you ask worriedly, that looked a bit extreme.
"Oh no, that's a bit out of your skill set but you'll get there one day", Dominic said.
"Exactly, which is why you're starting on the basics, now one of the best control and submission techniques is a headlock choke. Once you're in one, it's bloody hard to get out", Mike stated.
"Your attacker will try and position themselves behind you. Now you gotta avoid that by taking control of their forearm and pushing the elbow upwards over your head, you need to rotate your body away from the attacker. Keep holding their arm and press your other hand into their shoulder to put them in an arm lock, you got that y/n?", Dominic looked at you, he had lost you after the first sentence.
"Umm... I think I understand", you nodded slowly.
"Great, counter this headlock I'm about to put you in".
"Wait wh... *gasp*".
In the blink of an eye, Dominic had his arm fastened around your head. You tugged at his arms as you found it more difficult to breathe. He dropped you and sighed.
"Listen more carefully this time y/n", Dominic pulled you to your feet.
He began to move his arms over your head very slowly so you had more of a chance to react. You pushed his elbow over your head and spun behind him, it looked silly because you were uncertainly shuffling around while he moved comedically slow.
"Sehr gut, what next", Dominic said.
"Uh I do the arm lock thingy".
"Yep, hold my arm tight and push your other hand into my shoulder".
"Like this?".
"Congratulations y/n, you countered my headlock".
"Nicely done, y/n", Mike smiled reassuringly.
"Mike, it's 5:20, see you next week", the french woman tapped Mike on the shoulder before she departed.
"5:20 already? Time flies, don't it? Okay everyone, good job, same time next week",
Everyone packed all their stuff into their sports bags and thanked Mike for the lesson. You felt damn good, you put Dominic in an arm lock, you wanted to put him in a headlock next, then he might shut up for a bit.
---
"You know I was going in slow motion to make it easier for you y/n, you didn't have to break my shoulder when I was going that slow", Dominic joked.
"Whoops, I guess I don't know my own strength".
"See you later y/n, I hope your problems work out", Dominic waved.
"What problems? Who told yo...".
The door to the GSG-9 quarters closed before you could finish. You rolled your eyes, great, I wonder who doesn't know.
