More 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.

I feel a 'jean Claude van damme' dreamscape/movie coming... ;)

Dorian Inman

Very graceful. I can't help but wonder how she'd do sparring with an aikido practitioner.

Eric Hinkle

What, does Celestia keep a staff composed entirely of Amazons?

BaronEngel

Not all of the are Amazons, or mares for that matter, but Celestia does have a personal team of ponies who handle "difficult" jobs.

Hoof fu, Hoofate, Ju-hooftsu -- there are lots of options.

Vet

Steel augmented hooves. That will snap a bone! My OC Jamil is likewise trained. Her leg kicks can snap a thigh bone like a twig.

MishaFox

Wow - if Celestia is ever attacked by a roofing tile Quick Silver will protect her! Seriously thou - wow.

BaronEngel

That 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.

BaronEngel

Especially when you concentrate all the striking force on to the area of a blunt nail.

Vet

Oh yeah. Same effect with our ASP batons. The first two inches does a world of hurt

Major Matt Mason

Right. I'm in love. (sends candy, flowers and a ring)

Safety tip: never stand behind Applejack. She's also trained in martial arts of some kind (if hitting a target with apples dead center by kicking them is any indication).

BaronEngel

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.
