slacking off on the martial arts training
Still not convinced there was any to slack off on.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?
Willow ,'Showtime'

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And there is also that. She's certainly not the brown belt they claimed (this claim is what got me to watch the show, BTW).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think that SMG probably was taking classes the first couple years, and between that and Pruit's very grounded-in-real-fighting choreography it looked better. She does have good, limber dancer extension in her kicks.

When Dark!Willow took on Buffy, AH really put SMG to shame. There are little things, but they're teachable things.

WROD!! That is why it was the only time I ever found myself cheering against Buffy. It was beyond my control. AH was just so much better...she SHOULD have kicked her ass. That simple.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And she would have, too, if it wasn't for that meddling Giles....

I liked the slo-mo in the "80s training montage" but as others have noted, it only works for me if I close my eyes during the punching bag bit. I can ignore the obvious double doing the backflips, but those punches are painful. To me, that is. Clearly not to the punching bag.
Or at least that's my understanding of how it works. I don't argue that it's squicky for someone over 20 to sleep with someone under 16.
Can't recall the numbers now, but a huge proportion of teenage births stem from these kind of relationships. Even squickier.

And, depending on how much force she put into them, they may have been pretty painful to SMG, too.

I feel pretty confident she emerged completely unscathed.

Damn. That's just harsh.
