COMBAT TRAINING is a thing a guy who was raised by assassins is definitely obsessed with and something Damian wants to make sure everyone currently here can sink their teeth into. Whether it's passing on their knowledge or learning to throw a punch.
Damian has a post here calling for volunteers to help get everyone up to speed here. He'll probably insist on going toe to toe with people to vet them himself (and might get his ass kicked, let's be real he's not The Best Ever despite what he insists) and anyone and everyone is welcome to sign up as a student or a teacher. I'm totally down for handwaving that.
He'll also insist that even if you can fight, you should always be perfecting it. He'll encourage people to pick folks to spar with and learn from each other.
So! If this suits your fancy, fill out the text box and comment around to find someone to teach your character, spar with them, etc.

Damian Wayne | instructor
CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Karate, Boxing, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, most combat styles on Earth honestly. He has experience in blades, archery, firearms, etc.
EXPERIENCE: Talia probably threw him at her enemies as a baby. He's been training from birth.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher
NOTES: Damian is a very brutal fighter. He's quick, he hits hard, and he hits to hurt. He's not going to shy away from teaching people how to kill if necessary. Damian has no actual control over his powers and they mostly just violently flare up with his temper.
If anyone wants to get involved but their character isn't the type to willingly sign up, I can definitely come up with a reason for Damian to try to harangue them into getting involved.

CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: space canon doesn't specify fighting styles, but close range hand to hand combat and fighting with knives are what she's best at. good with a gun and a rifle, too.
EXPERIENCE: grew up being trained as an assassin
TEACHER or STUDENT: here to spar primarily but also: teacher
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH USING SUPERHUMAN POWERS: no, but she's used to fighting hullen, humans infected by a symbiote giving them superhuman strength and healing
NOTES: let her kick your arse ♥

CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: Pankration. He's adept with archaic weaponry such as the bow and arrow, sword, spear, and shield (offensive and defensive).
EXPERIENCE: Trained since he was very young. Fought in a ten year war. He's dedicated his entire life to combat.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher/Student/Sparring Partner! He's always wiling to learn.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH USING SUPERHUMAN POWERS: Yes! He is familiar with using magic as well.
NOTES: It might be fun for Achilles to learn other fighting styles! He knows how to use a gun, but isn't too familiar with them so maybe someone can teach him to refine his knowledge/skill... he'd pick up on it fast enough.
Achilles will drop by once he hears that there is combat training being offered.
Out of curiosity, where will they be training? Anywhere???

CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: hand to hand combat, guns, knives, ripping people's faces off with teeth
EXPERIENCE: born in a lab and grown with specific purpose to be raised as super soldiers. he's been ripping limbs and faces off since he's a child.
TEACHER or STUDENT: here to spar.... but he can teach I guess. teach how to get your ass kicked.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH USING SUPERHUMAN POWERS: he has reduced healing abilities here but still retain bone density and some of the strength that comes from the genetic modification + the Spine
NOTES: heine is mean and not super cooperative and probably fights dirty. he tends to be really reckless in his style but with his healing/other abilities reduced, needs to be taught to fight in a way that won't get him immediately killed.
kate bishop | instructor
CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert at marksmanship, we'll say highly accomplished/proficient at the rest.
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: Archery, fencing, jiujitsu, kickboxing, and assorted other martial arts, because comics.
EXPERIENCE: Kate's claim to fame is her marksmanship. She's second only to Clint Barton at archery, and she's also skilled in pretty much anything else that requires aiming—throwing knives, guns, etc. She's been doing the superhero thing for years, and was training even before that.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH USING SUPERHUMAN POWERS: NOPE but all of her friends at home are OP so she's got secondhand experience.
NOTES: Kate's small and not incredibly strong, especially compared to the other characters running around, so in hand-to-hand combat she largely focuses on using her speed and intelligence against bigger opponents. She far and away prefers archery to everything else, but she'll teach whatever your character needs!
daisy johnson › instructor???
CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: """advanced skill levels"""
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: as the redheaded stepchild of the mcu, aos doesn't exactly name the fighting styles that they teach their agents. that said, her actress has explained in interviews that she had to learn more than a few ("kickboxing, boxing, krav maga, jiujutsu") in order to perfect the moves that daisy performs "effortlessly". so there's some skill there, even if daisy herself doesn't know what those styles are called. she's also well-versed in handguns (pistols primarily, but she handles the occasional sniper rifle when plot calls for it) and "super" fighting (aka quaking an asshole to the ground).
EXPERIENCE: by her canon point, approximately 3-4 years of on-the-job training and near-death experiences.
TEACHER or STUDENT: teacher, but not opposed to sparring in the ring if asked on an off day.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH USING SUPERHUMAN POWERS: YES — and icly, daisy's going to be looking at restarting the superpower honing classes that lorna dane had brought up before she disappeared, so if anyone needs super how-to lessons, daisy's ya girl!
NOTES: in new amsterdam, daisy is relearning how to fight without her powers. she's not the strongest, but if you want to learn with her, or trade powers-training for strength-training, hit her up!

CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Proficient?
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: Punching shit really hard, killing aliens in space with spaceships, I don't know, it's very nonspecific. To maybe narrow it down: hand-to-hand combat and sharpshooting.
EXPERIENCE: Canon is vague, but I assume Cain got into street fights growing up based on his troublemaker background/the environment. Confirmed excellent shot since a kid (practiced rifles). Trained by the military to be a fighter, which is where his more polished skills come from.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Student for sure. Beef him up.
NOTES: Cain's said to be the best fighter in the fleet, but I have no idea how that compares in general. Either way, he's scrappy, and he's known for taking "cheap shots" like pulling... a knife... or kicking people in the dick. Also verbal antagonism to get his opponent mad. He's not afraid to play dirty, and it's all about survival.
That said, he certainly has room to improve given the combat experience of many other characters. He'd benefit from learning patience, structure, and (perhaps highest on the list) strategy. He's used to going in wild and fists flying. He doesn't stop to think. So that's something he could work on.

CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: does "good enough" count?
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: guns, some hand-to-hand combat, handling bazookas and machinery. he can carry heavy things, basically.
EXPERIENCE: he trained in the crownsguard, to protect the prince, sometime in his late teens (18 or so), so it's not been a long time.
TEACHER or STUDENT: student
NOTES: he's definitely on the weaker end when it comes to combat, but he's a hard worker and also a fast learner! he's much more proficient in keeping in shape and keeping to a gym routine, so if anyone wants to lift and do some squats, he's your guy!!
no subject
CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert unless the narrative says otherwise, thanks Voltron
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: Partly self-taught, partly trained space ninja of [vague noises]
EXPERIENCE: Picked fights as a kid and trained himself with a dagger after his dad died. Secretly. So 10+ years?
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher
NOTES: Dependent on whether Damian and Keith can manage sharing oxygen

CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: ... aerial combat? It's ill-defined canonically, but as someone with a military background, Aranea likely knows enough hand-to-hand to keep her alive and has had weapons training. Her weapon of choice is a spear, which she's veryn impressive with. This is what her boss fight looks like, for however much or little that means. FFXV doesn't make sense.
EXPERIENCE: 15+ years, approximately.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher!
NOTES: She's injured right now so she can't be of much hands-on use yet, but she'll be back in full form in a few weeks.
no subject
CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert.
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: Melee weapons, bows&arrows, hand-to-hand, wrestling, pretty much everything.
EXPERIENCE: 5000+ years of Amazonian training, courtesy of their best general.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher.
NOTES: She'll be gentle with the newbies, but won't tolerate sloppiness from anyone who calls themselves experienced.
no subject
CURRENT FIGHTING ABILITY: Expert
FIGHTING STYLES CURRENTLY KNOWN: No specific human styles, tends towards strength-based fighting rather than speed or dexterity. He can teach weapon and hand-to-hand fighting, or is willing to fight people wanting experience against larger/stronger opponents.
EXPERIENCE: Yes.
TEACHER or STUDENT: Teacher.
NOTES: Thor likely won't take on complete beginners unless you can make a good case for it. He has his own gym in New Amsterdam which caters to strength training, boxing, etc, which is open to anyone for a small fee.
