# The Training Yard

Talk to **Trainer Tamsin** at the east end of Foal Pen's main road and choose **Go to the Training Yard**. It is a private practice room.

The guide follows your current action instead of asking you to read a long combat manual. Two one-time lessons save your progress:

| Lesson | Steps | XP |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Find Your Feet | Move around the training yard; Land two strikes on the practice badger; Charge through the practice badger | 75 |
| Read the Fight | Jump over a badger strike; Dodge, then strike before the counter fades | 75 |

Learn the rhythm: read the badger's attack, jump as it strikes, then hit during the counter window. Charge uses **hold T, release**; jump uses **Space**. Touch has the corresponding combat buttons. [Fighting](/gluebook/gluniverse-fighting) covers the rest of your moves and [Relics](/gluebook/gluniverse-relics) covers later skills.

Practice enemies drop no loot. **New characters unlock their attacks by finishing both lessons**: the human sword or the horse rear kick. Choose **Learn combat** from the welcome card or the Menu's Tutorial tab to be taken here.
