Recent notes were posted around the Gym by Namer Starlight. Currently, they seem to offer classes for learning and understanding both basic and moderate notions of martial arts of different natures. Training includes things such as combat stances, footwork, how to maintain one's balance and equilibrium, and how to make efficient use of ones' limbs as a weapon. Further forms of training include practices for those who want to tune in with their more instinctive selves, and learn how to get in closer touch with the Cadence. The classes are open to both Factioneers and non-Factioneers, and for fighters of all types who have a willingness to learn a little bit of what is being offered. For more information, Starlight can usually be found training in the Gym, or roaming around Sigil, and sometimes possibly found taking naps on random places.

Namer Starlight has continued to carry on with the classes. After a few months, it seems to have drawn a decent attendance from the part of unusual Factioneers for the most part - animals, demi-animals, lycantropes, and other beings that tend to rely heavily on their more primal instincts. Some have compared the class attendance to something like a zoo but, considering the level of intelligence of the attendants, it can be regarded as something of an insult. Nonetheless the little Golem seems to have a clear talent for teaching such things, seeming to have in the last months developed quite a good pace for herself in regards of how she perceives the Cadence and how she follows its whims.

Beyond simply physical classes, they have been expanded into lessons and lectures on what she believes to be her own ideal way of connecting with the Cadence, encouraging the students to seek out and see if they feel the same, or if they feel differently, and share their views. The Golem's own view of it is that to her, the ultimate form of action without thought comes from her very own unique construction, and consists of bringing in sync the parts of her body responsible for instinct, and those responsible for logic, making it so that both can act in perfect sync without any manner of lag. By this, it would mean that the moment when she begins an action is the moment where thought has already been processed, memorized in her very body through constant practice, motions and exercises, and every thought comes and goes as naturally as a breath. One such example she provided is in combat, where in an optimal ideal, she'd be able to strike the weak spot of a foe without having to think about it, because her body has grown so accostumed to fighting that it already does its own form of thinking and instantly turns it into action.

Classes remain open to the public, but she has expanded on that she's willing to take private students should they wish for more specialized lessons and discreet classes.
