I've never had a protege before.
But I am qualified to teach self-defense.
And I've got personal experience in espionage, and detective work.
I'm not officially qualified to teach firearms safety, but I've done research into it.

You don't need to salute, I'm not a military officer by any means.

Try not to dig your nails into your palms.
Keep it firm- but not too firm. If you tense up too much, it'll just hurt more.

You don't want shaky hands.
You need to be firm but flexible- and relaxed.
