Time to make a proper intro here haha

I'm Dean! I love traditional martial arts, cars, and retro racing games. Irl, I'm a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I write in my spare time. I post commissioned pieces of martial arts of my sona and oc's, so that's what you'll mainly see here!

Birthday sparring match? 😁

Dean Ellta @deanellta.bsky.social · 10d

With summer coming to a close, cats gotta catch all the sun we can!

Shoutout to @tonydunkel.bsky.social for this awesome piece, starring @elleci42.bsky.social, @taryncrimson.bsky.social, and myself all vibing after some training!

After (literally) fighting with your friends down by the beach for hours, nothing beats a nice cool down session by the pool. Luke's lounging in the shade, Taryn's got an ice-cold drink in his hands, and Dean's perched on a table between the two with a Drumstick. Like a good friend of Dean's would say, sticks are unbelievable.

Just an average day in one of the SOMA's private sparring rooms!

Art by @gehirnlie, featuring @LViolet9's Leon, @SDSheppy's Hayato, and my friend MrsMan's Rago, Ruby, and Warren! (@'s above are their Twitter handles where applicable)

Thanks again for this amazing piece and taking part in it!

-Jasper attempts to teach Leon the elegance of true taekwondo with a high single leg pose and is enjoying the skill he possesses over the fox.

-Hayato and Luka spar with swords (they are professionals)

-Dean talks to his butler and near daily training partner Edward, although Dean seems a bit distracted by someone...

-Brutus, Afi, Charlie, and Stella each go over their weekly training schedule and what rooms to reserve for each of the classes they teach, although Stella seems a bit distracted by someone...

-Ruby and her prized student Warren flew up from Australia to train with the others for a bit. Ruby is testing her kangaroo student's powerful kicks despite her shorter stature and his powerful legs.

-Rago has some sticky fingers with that sword. He better be careful...

We can continue this in dms if you want haha

Dean Ellta @deanellta.bsky.social · Aug 20

Good luck then haha. He'll run you into the mats

Simple stuff like not holding Dean's dojo liable for injuries sustained under Jasper's instructions, etc. Or he could find you attempting to keep up very amusing

Dean Ellta @deanellta.bsky.social · Aug 20

You have to sign a waiver before you can train with him, and you better take taekwondo as seriously as he does >:)

Oh he'll be very upset if you call him a coyote haha. He is a glorious golden jackal and will be referred to as such lol

Dean Ellta @deanellta.bsky.social · Aug 18

Oh yes he is! Dean brought him along to teach in his dojo after witnessing his mastery of taekwondo first hand! This has given Jasper a *bit* of an ego problem, but that would imply he didn't have one in the first place haha

Jasper Schoen likes to see himself as the pinnacle of taekwondo. His balance, leg strength, and flexibility are at such an elite level that he can hold this elegant pose with no issues for almost an hour!

Art by @tonydunkel.bsky.social, thanks again for this awesome comm!

Jasper has already been holding this pose for well over 25 minutes, all without a single wobble in his posture. Hard to believe he's closing in on 36 years old, huh?

Born and raised on a farm in Paraguay, Bastián Alejandro Matteo Fernandez works when the sun is up and trains Shotokan Karate when the sun is down. Don't ask him about his scar, though. He'll mumble something about a spoiled cheetah...

Art by @aussieneon.bsky.social, thanks again!

With a powerful front kick, Bastián can kick through near anything! That's what being farm-tough gets you!

National pride is important, and it's crucial to never forget your roots. Issac and Charlie may have moved from the land down under, but they're proud to rep Straya wherever they go!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE, OI OI OI! Issac on the left and Charlie on the right are always proud to rep the land down under!

In an effort to do more activities with his friends, Dean tried to get them all into his dojo for a crash course training day! Key word here, *tried*...

Art by @crassir.bsky.social featuring my best friends @groundis.bsky.social, @SDSheppy on Twitter, @mrmcstabson.bsky.social, and SpaceCat!

Dean attempting to lead the group in the most basic warm-up exercise: Touching your toes. This would have gone fine if not for Haskell's antlers not being shaved down recently, Scotty's comically horrible back, Diggie's bum knee from when he played JV football, and Rymden just clocking in for his shift at Nubby's Number Factory (number go up). Buckle up, Sensei Dean; you've got a long day ahead of you...

Nothing caps off a good day of sparring like cooling down with your toughest opponents and closest friends at the same time!

Awesome art by @aussieneon.bsky.social featuring his cool Brazilian karate yeen Royce!

Royce's massive height of 6'7" gives his kyokushin karate an immense edge, and Jasper's pinpoint accurate taekwondo kicks mean Dean needs to be fast and aggressive to shut down any possible attacks in a pure striking environment, as well as make sure his defense is up to par. Despite the smiles here, Royce and Jasper never give Dean an easy day on the mats, and that's just the way the cheetah likes it!

*Whoa, that's a sick car! Let's see what it can do...*

"It doesn't matter if it's in the dojo or on the blacktop; I'm winning this fight!"

Think you've got the skills to take on Dean and his yellow Ferrari 360 Spider? Good luck!

Art by @lolanderuwu.bsky.social, thanks again!

The fastest cheetah in all of Seraton Shores! That modified Ferrari 360 Spider is no joke, able to reach a top speed that is 40 mph faster than factory spec! And with someone like Dean behind the wheel, it's gone before you can even blink!
