Quick Silver practicing 01
Added 2016-12-21 18:08:54 +0000 UTCMore images from my Equestria dreamscape. This is Quick Silver one of Celestia's Mares-in-Waiting who is practicing her hoof-to-hoof combat skills. The fighting style is an old earth pony fighting style. Kind of a pony equivalent to the French Savate school of martial arts.
The slabs that Quick Silver is breaking are pieces of roofing slate that are leftover from various roofing projects at the palace.
Also of note, she's wearing full steel shoes with small steel studs no more than a quarter inch long. However those studs concentrate all of the force of her kicks and punches on a very small area increasing their penetrating power.
Comments
Oh she knows some of basics of earth pony hoof to hoof, and as you noted she's got a knack for kicking projectiles at targets quite well.

2016-12-21 23:28:54 +0000 UTCRight. I'm in love. (sends candy, flowers and a ring)

2016-12-21 22:19:21 +0000 UTCOh yeah. Same effect with our ASP batons. The first two inches does a world of hurt

2016-12-21 21:43:53 +0000 UTCFortunately she's effective against other forms of antagonists to .

2016-12-21 21:41:24 +0000 UTCEspecially when you concentrate all the striking force on to the area of a blunt nail.

2016-12-21 21:40:40 +0000 UTCThat would make for an interesting sparring match since aikido is all about redirecting and using an opponents energy against them. I think Quick Silver would find it very enlightening.

2016-12-21 21:38:23 +0000 UTCWow - if Celestia is ever attacked by a roofing tile Quick Silver will protect her! Seriously thou - wow.

2016-12-21 21:30:28 +0000 UTCSteel augmented hooves. That will snap a bone! My OC Jamil is likewise trained. Her leg kicks can snap a thigh bone like a twig.

2016-12-21 21:24:58 +0000 UTCHoof fu, Hoofate, Ju-hooftsu -- there are lots of options.

2016-12-21 20:36:00 +0000 UTCNot all of the are Amazons, or mares for that matter, but Celestia does have a personal team of ponies who handle "difficult" jobs.
Baron Engel
2016-12-21 20:12:06 +0000 UTCWhat, does Celestia keep a staff composed entirely of Amazons?

2016-12-21 18:48:43 +0000 UTCVery graceful. I can't help but wonder how she'd do sparring with an aikido practitioner.

2016-12-21 18:43:31 +0000 UTCQuick Silver would fit in perfectly in a film like that.

2016-12-21 18:17:35 +0000 UTCI feel a 'jean Claude van damme' dreamscape/movie coming... ;)
