Walking On Eggshells

Alex's hunch was proven correct by his aunt's next question. "So Mom tells me you're a personal trainer. Do you like doing that?"

"I do. I have a few Olympic hopefuls on my client load and I hope to see at least one of them make it all the way there at some point. I think it should be possible within the next few years," he said with a shrug.

Jenna's eyes widened. "Wow, that's impressive! What do you train people in again?"

"Well, I work at a mixed martial arts gym. It varies depending on what the client wants but a lot of the people I train are interested in boxing, wrestling, or judo. I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades."

That was a mild way of putting it. He knew almost every type of martial art in existence but his original training mashed them together most of the time rather than separating them out. He had to do a bit of research on specifics between the disciplines to focus on clients' needs that had a particular specialty.
