Making the Barbarian Fly! (For dddybee)

[MappleMan7]

"Oh yeah- that totally explains it. Antonia's one of a kind, she is. I should tell her that next time I see her"

Oscar smiled as he thought back to his young lion days and the training sessions he had with Antonia. The lessons he received and skills he was taught to him by the Army Ant were valuable- even to this day. They were totally worth the... unique punishments she dished out when he slipped up or made a mistake- even if smother endurance training had its own benefits. Zoning back in, Oscar took a second to catch his breath as he watched Honie start up the next step in their training- distance. Watching with an observant eye, Oscar awed at Honie as she cleanly lept from one side of the ring to the other before she quizzed him on what he saw- prompting a response from the Barbarian Prince.

"Well- I notice your posture and how you used your arms in the jump. I'm taking a shot in the dark here- but is it safe to say that the key to jumping so far was in the arms? You positioned your arms behind you, then threw them forward when you jumped. Is that like- an aerodynamics thing?"

[dddybee]

"Antonia's head is big enough already, but I'll be sure to pass along the compliment." Honie giggled, before Oscar gave his take on what he had observed. "That's correct! Jumping mainly involves your lower-body. But incorporating your upper-body into things with the arm swing helps to ensure every part of you is working into the motion. When you've got arms as beefy as ours, it pays to put the weight of our guns into the movement!" Honie flexed both of her arms, before kissing both of her muscular biceps. "Mwah! Mwah!"~

"If that makes sense, then you're up next! Let's see how well you can preform a long jump, using the technique you just learned. Remember, you are trying to incorporate every part of that well-built body of yours into covering as much distance as possible!" Honie encouraged. She would wait to observe how Oscar did on the long jump, and then take things from there!

"I never thought about using my upper body strength for high-flying action before..."

Oscar looked down at his muscular arms as he listened to Honie's teachings. The Barbarian’s head was swelling with ideas on how he could use the information to benefit his high-flying techniques- but he had to put a pin on it as Honie requested that he try out the trick himself. Nodding at Honie, Oscar took up position at the end of the ring and stretched his legs out before sticking his arms behind him. Breaking into a sprint, Oscar threw his arms forward and jumped- finding himself flying further than he'd ever gone before! The flying was good! But Oscar stumbled the landing and ran into the ropes- causing him to stumble back and fall down. At least he only landed on his butt.

[dddybee]

Honie watched carefully, as Oscar once again tried to follow her example. Using her technique, the Barbarian Prince managed to perform a mostly solid long-jump. The only issue was that he didn't stick the landing. The movementum caused him to stagger into the ropes, before falling onto his backside. "Nice try. You all good Oscar?" Honie would ask, as she approached her downed trainee. "Sticking the landing takes practice. And the heavier you are, the more difficult it is to do. But I've got some pointers for that!" Honie assured him, before offering a hand to get him back up to his feet.

"Also, judging from what Antonia's mentioned about your previous training, I take it that right about now is when she would smother you." Honie giggled. "I won't punish ya like that for making a mistake....unless you wanted me to do so of course."~ Beatrice teased in a half-joking matter. She definitely wouldn't mind getting her lovely cheeks on Oscar's cute face at some point, but the face wrestler was more mindful of her trainee's preferences!

[MappleMan7]

"I'm ok! Trust me- I've had waaaay more rougher landings than that. I appreciate the concern, though. I'll be sure to keep practicing it- promise!"

Oscar let out a lighthearted chuckle as he took Honie's hand to get back onto his feet, listening to Honie's guidance before she made a comment about what Antonia would do to him whenever he slipped up. The teasing made Oscar raise his eyebrows at Honie and snicker at her before he answered her.

"Ha ha ha! Of course Antonia would tell you that... I'd rather not go through that whole smother punishment again, but if you REALLY want to do that- I can make you an offer. When we're wrapped up with training, I'd be up for a sparring match to put what I learned into practice. Besides, I've always wanted to fight you Miss Buff Bee. If you're up to it, of course"

[dddybee]

While Oscar decided to opt out of willingly receiving any smother penalties, he offered Honie the chance to try and smother him in a follow-up spar! "Oh sure! That's a great idea! And I'm flattered you always wanted to tussle with me! In that case, I'll get my sexy, sweet honey buns on your face soon, cutie."~ Honie buzzed flirtatiously. She turned around and teasingly slapped her big booty at Oscar, before giving him some space to continue practicing.

"Now about those pointers! Land with your knees slightly bent to help absorb the impact. Land on the balls of your feet to better transition into a stable position. And engaging your core muscles also helps with stability!" Honie would point at and flex her impressive, steel-hard ab muscles as a demonstration. It was very clear how the Booty Buzzer built her body for high-flying, even as a heavyweight wrestler. "Now why don't you try that long-jump again. But this time, keep my pointers in mind!"

[MappleMan7]

Oscar wasn't expecting Honie to flirt with him, but it sure wasn't unwelcome. Hearing Honie sound so determined to plant her admittedly plump behind onto his face followed up with showing her bottom to him and slapping it caused Oscar to blush and laugh in response, a grin spreading on his face as he placed a hand on his hip.

"Ha ha ha! Well- you're more than welcome to try it. You're so sweet, you know that? Buttering me up with compliments and all that"

Oscar settled down soon enough now that he returned the compliments to Honie, focusing back on the training. He'd bend his knees slightly and move his feet around to get the feeling of what Honie was passing on before nodding his head, his eyes following her finger to her honeycomb abs. Damn, but Honie was chiseled. Oscar would get back into his starting position and shake his legs out before sprinting again- throwing his arms forward as he lept through the air... and he managed to stick the landing this time! Slightly squatted knees, landing on the balls of his feet, and putting his own core strength to use as he landed perfectly- slightly flexing his own solid set of abs while doing so!

"WOO! Alright- there we go! I definitely got it down now!"

[dddybee]

After flirting with Oscar, Honie watched as Oscar put her pointers into action. The Barbarian Prince managed to perform a perfect long-jump, without staggering and stumbling this time! "Awesome job!" Honie buzzed, congratulating him by giving him an unintentionally strong hip bump to his own hip. One that would likely cause him to stagger a bit with comedic irony.

"Alright then! On to the next lesson." Honie continued. "I think you're ready for me to teach you how to use the ring's ropes and turnbuckles for high-flying moves! But heavyweights need to be extra careful here. Ya don't wanna fall off the ropes and crash onto the ring apron or ringside after all. Haha. So let's start off simple. I want you to simply get on top of and stand on that turnbuckle over there, so you can get used to staying balanced on it."

After pointing Oscar towards a specific turnbuckle, Honie would approach the one perpendicular to it. The Booty Buzzer would leap onto the top turnbuckle with ease, but she didn't expect Oscar to get up the same way of course. "Just climb up yours for now. Haha." Once Oscar had reached the peak of his turnbuckle, Honie would address him again. "Easy now. How does that feel? With your footing up here and everything?"

[MappleMan7]

The hip bump from Honie, being as strong as it was, would cause Oscar to make a small yelp in surprise as he stumbled into the ropes- laughing as he grabbed onto them for support and taking the comedic hip bump in stride. Coincidentally enough, Honie's next lesson was on the ropes themselves- and the turnbuckles! Following Honie's direction, Oscar would go ahead and climb up the turnbuckle she picked out for him- not wanting to risk slipping by jumping up like she did. If Honie was paying attention, she might just notice Oscar was having the easiest time with this action compared to the other lessons as he confidently stood up- his back turned to Honie. Oscar turned his head to look at Honie as he kept his balance on top of the turnbuckle.

"Feels good! I should probably let you know- a friend out in the States helped me with turnbuckle stuff before! She was also a Bee-themed wrestler funny enough. Well- sort of? Not a honey bee like you- but rather a bumblebee. And she was tinier too"

Oscar had a chuckle as he continued balancing on the turnbuckle- showing more of what knowledge he had on both the subject of high-flying moves along with his bee facts.

"Can even perform a frog splash and a moonsault off here if I wanted to! But there's no mat to land on so I'll hold off on that. For now. Hehe..."

[dddybee]

Honie indeed noticed that Oscar was having an easy time climbing up the turnbuckle, and the heroine grinned widely at Oscar's explanation. "Another bee-themed wrestler...?! Awesome! I hope I get to meet her sometime!" Honie buzzed. "And I'm glad you know the difference between a honey bee and a bumblebee. People get those two species mixed up a lot, and that's a pet peeve of mine."

Honie took note, after Oscar explained he already knew how to perform at least two moves from the turnbuckle. But in practice, they would require a mat to land on. "Yeah... Maybe I should go find some practice dummies for this..." Honie pondered. "I'll think about it. But for now, how about you follow this example! Try an aerial double stomp from the top turnbuckle!" Honie would leap off her turnbuckle, high enough to do a flip in the air! When descending close to the mat, the bee would jolt her both her legs down in a stomping motion, impacting the mat with a very audible 'BOOM'! After shaking the ring on impact, Honie would direct Oscar to follow her example. "But no need to copy the flip. Haha. Just stomp on the ring, and imagine the floor of the ring as your opponent!"
