"What other vulnerable areas are there?"

He flips the blade around in his hand with an ease that looks almost careless. The blade is now pointing downwards towards the pinkie finger. "This is the reverse grip. Sometimes people call it the ice pick grip. This is what you use if you want more power and to really drive home the blade. People tend to instinctively use this when panicked or really angry."

Which reminds him, "Oh, yeah, what do you do if an opponent is bigger than you? I'm pretty short..."

"Go for either the midsection, or if they knock you down before you have a chance to do that, stab at their ankles and lower legs. Bring them down to your height." He demonstrated the first move he was talking about. He really was going to stop using his student as the demonstration dummy, lest he give the poor man a neurotic complex.

"Okay, what else?"

He's not going to go easy on Osomatsu, but he's also not going to give him any unnecessary hardship. Ivar's gotten where he is in life by being the best at what he does and he intends to pass on what he knows.

And then he goes in to stab him in the face.

He lets it rest there for a moment before he removes the knife, letting it rest by his side again, blade resting against the inside of his wrist. "Alright. What do you think you did wrong?"

He wheeled over to where the knife had been flung and picked it up. "The other thing you need to do is make the blade a part of you. You're treating it like it's something different rather than an extension of your body. Pretend it's just another part of your hand or arm." He shows, in slow motion, a more fluid jab with the blade.
Then he gives the knife back to Osomatsu. "Now let's try again."

He deflects the blow again, but this time, he lets Osomatsu pull his knife away again. "Good! Now you're getting it better. But remember, aim for the soft parts of the body. Even if you hit the shoulder, there's a lot of bone and muscle up there. It won't injure someone very much and you might lose your blade. Try again and aim for my eyes." This was the point at which the 'Do Not Attempt This At Home. Trained Viking At Work' warning would flash across the TV screen if this was a show.

He demonstrates, pulling his knife down in a swift manner, leaving Osomatsu's blade there by itself for a moment. He turns the blade at the last second so he doesn't end up cutting Osomatsu's hand. "See? Now, you try." He places his blade back against his student's.
no subject
He blinks, amazed that he's actually doing this right. Well, Osomatsu prided himself on being a good fist-fighter (he's not, really), so it was just natural that he took to blades well.
no subject
Then his smile turns a little evil. "Or, you know, practice by just going after one of your brothers when they start to drive you crazy." Please don't. Ivar doesn't want to be interrogated by the police because the Matsunos all end up in the hospital.
no subject
"Thanks for the lesson!" he says as he picks up the dagger. He's just trying to gloss over the fact that he did something incredibly stupid. Oh, and payment! He's got cash that he hands over, too. "I'll be sure to practice on my brothers."
no subject
"Till next week then." Just to show off for a moment, he takes the blade in his hand, and with a casual flick, throws it through the air. It lands in a nearby dummy right between the eyes. A little taste of where one can get to with the proper training.
no subject
In any case, he holds up his hand in a wave, tucking his practice dagger into his hoodie pocket. He's tired now, but he'll probably practice later.
