Midday Arc

I caught the grooved rubber edge of an empty playground swing just as a midday breeze gave it a lazy push. A grandmaster never ignores prime kinetic equipment! Vaulting onto the wide textured rubber seat, I locked my boots down and seized the cold steel chain links with both fists. Leaning my weight back and pumping with sharp, disciplined rhythm, I sent the swing swooping into a soaring aerial arc! The ground dropped away beneath my feet in a glorious rush of wind. Hmph, don't look at me like that! It's not like I was goofing off having childish fun on a playground... mastering pendulum momentum is vital high-altitude combat conditioning! #Ranma½ #RanmaSaotome
