[ is it difficult? when he'd been on the ark as a guard, he hadn't really learned much. the ark was an enclosed space where most people didn't know these skills. they'd never have to fight each other physically. some knew how to throw a good punch, others a sharp kick. most of it, he thinks, had been instinct. there hadn't been a place for them to learn hand to hand, not like this. the guard was more into the guns and keeping the order of the ark. being on the ground, he's begun to learn that an enclosed space had it's enemies that are incredibly different to those found on earth. ]
I guess it is. It's easier to use a gun or a knife, but when it's hand to hand, you have to be careful. Throw someone wrong, punch someone the wrong way — you can hurt yourself as well as the other person. It's vulnerable, but it's the way the Grounders fight. Sometimes you're going to be without a weapon to use as a prop. It's good to know how to use yourself.
