Shinobi Battle Arts :Taijutsu

[yu]

Yu stood happily in the open grass area as she had her hands behind her back as she closed her eyes and hummed a sweet tune. There was nothing but grass as far as the eye could say. The sun was out a high noon and it's rays filled the entire area. It was a perfect and warm day. Yu dawned her usual attire which was her priestess kimono with a black skirt and shinobi shoes. Today her arms were bare not wearing her typical sleeves.  Yu sighed stretching out body feeling contempt with herself.

“God I hate preppy bitches like you…” Azumi said as she approached the priestess who was oddly positioned at the middle of the field for some reason or another. Strange how two opposites meet on the battlefield, much like Uke and Naga forces? Azumi’s attire was very different from the Kimono that the girl that was now only about 10 meters away wore. She was dressed for battle in a forest green pair of fatigues that were topped off with her dark green Tactical vest that housed most of her gear. Her feet were covered by a pair of Black combat boots and a pair of knee braces were fixed upon her knees for support. Her long sleeves were rolled up to her elbow and her light brown hair was tied back in a now short ponytail. Her tactical vest housed a knife on her back slot, handle facing her left hand; which meant that the knife was designed for that off hand. She also housed a knife on her vest’s chest as well. There were two knives hidden in her back slots, and 8 caltrops stuffed under the visible knife’s sheath. She kept 2 frag grenades, 1 smoke grenade, and 1 sting grenade in her front pouches as well. Her green Krav Maga Ranking belt was wrapped around her waist under the vest, housing her two metal tessen fans as well. She carried no sword this time around, seeing as she didn’t need it.

Quickening her pace, she closed the gap between herself and the oriental bitch that thought she could just sit around being pretty in the middle of the plains. There was nothing around other than the grass they stood on, making it a completely blank field. Azumi could work with this, she thought to herself as she quickly dropped her hands down to her side to a neutral stance. “So you think you can just stand there and look pretty eh? Well come and get a piece of this you pompous bitch” She urged with a look of stern sincerity as she realized that she would need to be ready for anything. Analyzing the woman herself now, seeing her neutral stance, she chose to keep herself relaxed and ready. “Bring it on.” She said waiting for some sort of response.

Yu turned to see some petty woman come up to her and call her a bitch and tell her how ugly she was. Yu slowly turned her body to the woman still keeping her bright and cheerful smile as it turned in to a sinister look with a pained grin as vein formed on her head bulging. "Ahh well this BITCH is going to teach you a lesson you hideous man." Yu would have yelled charging at the girl with fury in her eyes. As she didn't have any blades on her she would have to psychically torture this one as she did with anyone who dared piss her off. Bash her manly face in a bit to where it is unrecognizable  before breaking every single bone in her body then ripping her hair out!.

Yu would have simply ran up to the girl and throw right punch towards her face which if it connected she would then jump in to the air and spin to strike with her left foot. If the girl blocked her initial strike Yu would try to jump back if the girl didn't counter her then run at her with a simple leg kick to her torso.

Hmmm, Azumi thought as her opponent threw a simple right handed, untrained straight punch. This was an easy situation to defuse. As she saw the easily projected attack she quickly placed her left foot forward and put her hands up about shoulder length apart. The attack was coming from her opponent’s right hand, and consequently would be delivered to her left. Taking her left hand and making it flat like a board, she quickly aimed the side block of the inside defense towards the girls incoming elbow opposed to aiming at her fist. Using THIS block, she didn’t stop the girl’s moment, but instead redirected it, pushing the back of her wrist inward and downward into the crook of the elbow. This would inevitably change the momentum of the attack directing the girl’s momentum downward and bending her elbow to disengage the attack while carrying her weight in the strike still.

It was in this instant that Azumi noticed the girl attempting to lung herself backwards; however that would prove to be much more difficult to do so when falling forward, Like Azumi had directed her body. This attempt to save herself would only prove hazardous as Azumi took this into her motion as she shifted her stance so that she was still on the inside of the girls attack. She shifted her weight to the side, leaning to her left (the opponent’s right) with her block so that she could rest her elbow comfortably on her side, and in the same position rest inside the now bending 45 degree angle of the opponent’s elbow. This threw not only her opponent’s weight into the motion, but also her own; which would make jumping impossible unless she wanted to fall flat on her face.

Now on the right side of the opponent completely, her right arm remained less than shoulders length, close to her body. The opponent from this position could try and get a choke hold on her if she wanted to; however, that wouldn’t stop her from taking her right hand and quickly extending it outward before delivering a smashing downward hammer fist to the back of the opponent’s neck and base of her skull. The attack used the opponent’s momentum and Azumi’s physical leverage to deliver the blow as she slammed her palm downward at first before twisting it at the last moment so that the side of her hand connected, making the attack more like a chop than a punching strike. Hoping that the attack was successful, she kept her left arm close to her body in the crook of the opponent’s elbow so that is (A the attack connected, she could simply push her wrist up to throw the opponent completely to the ground, or (B Defend from a choke hold in case the opponent had something else up their selves, all in all Azumi was a soldier, and she was ready for anything.

Inside Defense Against Straight Punch
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Inside Defense is made against straight punches to the face or the throat.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Unlike 360° Defense (Outside Defense), which is a "stopping" defense, Inside Defenses are "redirecting" defenses. They redirect the attack away from its intended target. Defend with the same-side (mirror) hand. No "Cross Blocking." For example if an attacker punches with the left hand, you defend with your right. Starting Position: Left-leg-forward fighting stance, hands up and slightly less than shoulder-width apart. As an attacker moves toward you with a straight punch, bring your defending hand forward and inward, pushing against the attacker's arm the center palm. Your palm should slide along the attacker's arm. Move from just inside your shoulder inward toward your line of sight. At the same time, make a small head defense to the outside to give yourself some extra space in case your hand defense didn't succeed. Tips Defend with your palm, but if you misread the height of the punch, you can also defend with your wrist or forearm.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Krav Maga. Must know the Fundamentals in Level 1 - Yellow Belt.

[yu]

Yu would have ended up in quite the predicament. Turns out the drag queen was actually a good fighter which was expected of a MAN after all ya know. Despite the position Yu was in and the damage she would receive she had to go out fighting and from her position would try to choke the bitch only to be met with a strong hit to her head.

[Operator]

Azumi now had the advantage as the strike connected with the back of the girly girl’s base of the skull; which in all actuality would have knocked out a lesser opponent. Even though she appeared unskilled in any type of CQC, She still showed resilience; which Azumi figured was better than nothing. Now that her opponent’s center of gravity was extremely off balance, it was time to act. As she felt the inward push of the girl attempting to perform a chokehold attempt at the same moment that her hammer fist made contact with the girl’s skull, she quickly used that moment to roll her wrist so that her palm was facing out so that she could grapple onto her opponent. Focusing Ki and Uke energy to her hands, she grabbing onto the inside of the girls elbow where the hand had been previously positioned, Azumi prepared to throw her down in a sense, making it much easier for her to takedown her opponent. Sliding her left hand down the girls arm towards the wrist with the natural flow of their motions at the time, Azumi shifted her stance, stepping in with her right foot; while directing the now controlled motion of her opponent. Quickly pulling her opponent’s downward momentum with her left hand, she threw her hips into throwing the girl down face first onto the ground by controlling and changing the direction of the opponent’s downward.

After throwing the opponent down to the ground, Azumi would release her hold on the girl, letting her tumble to the ground with the full weight of her own body. “You really should be more careful with how you throw your punches, you telegraph your attacks.” She said as she simply stepped back as the girl would make impact with the ground. She hadn’t applied enough force to her attacks to kill the girl, but to simply teach her the first lesson of any true fight. One couldn’t rely on their gut emotions every single time they chose to attack, they had to be thinking ahead towards the possible next strike, and even at that Azumi couldn’t help but smile as she realized that this girl had gotten a bit cocky in her first approach. Taking a step forward, Azumi decided that she would help teach this individual the most important lesson she obviously had yet to learn, which was of course living through a fight.

Slowly approaching again, Azumi was sure that the girl was sore about being beaten so easily, reaching down with an ungloved hand, she knelt down in an attempt to help the girl up. “I’m sorry but survival is key.” She said calmly, expecting the girl to retort with some sort of crossdressing spat. “In a real fight, I would have killed you right there, you have to learn that your opponent will always be trying to kill you.” Azumi said making sure to kneel with her left foot first just in case the grill attempted to try anything stupid. “I’m sorry that you had to learn this lesson the hard way, So how about I teach you how to defend yourself, give you the tools to survive in this world? Then maybe a stranger like me won’t so easily over power you.” She said sternly as she offered to help her, now ready to take it slow in an attempt to help this obviously helpless soul become something more than just a defenseless shrine maiden. “And until you can beat me, you can call me Boss.” She said standing up from her kneeling position and getting into a fighting posture.

“Now come at me, this time think about your strikes, and how I’ll respond.” She said calmly waiting for the unavoidable CQC that she was about to help teach to the young girl.

[yu]

This damn hag had Yu end up on the ground  with a powerful throw making her bite down on her tongue causing it to bleed a little. Then she even had the nerve to give her a lecture about her hand to hand combat. For one Yu was a swordsman and if she had her blade would chop this girls hair off and choke her with it but now wasn't the time for excuses and she would try to beat her at her own game.

Yu rised with a chuckle as blood would have seeped out her mouth from biting it ignoring her hand. "let's get something straight you reected Kabuki actor, I've seen battle many times already and have killed many people. They have all fallen to my blade and or voice. SO don't tell me about how you would have killed me got it?" Yu would have growled multiple veins showing in her forehead as she would have jumped back before using her legs to jump over the girl in a flip to get on her blind side before jumping at her with both arms raised.

However if the girl happen to disrupt Yu during he jump back she would tighten up her guard prepared to block and blows to the face and or  legs and stand her ground there. If the girl disrupted Yu while in the air Yu would simply curl her body up and try to defend herself with her arms for protection just in case.


From here Yu would try her hand at throwing a few straight jabs at the girl while trying to keep her body centered and keep the other girl on her toes. This girl seemed to be adept at using throws and locks and such. So it was best to keep it at standard taijutsu. Yu was afterall a certified ninja from the Kusagakure academy. She could handle basic punches and kicks but she was no true tai fighter which was most likely her greatest advantage.

Azumi didn't respond as she got into a fight position, letting her opponent jump back; which indicated that she was either going to do a long range striking attack, similar to those present in Gotetsu, or predetermining the range she would need to jump over her head. Azumi noticed that it was the latter of the two as the girl launched herself into the air; which wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do; however Azumi decided that she would allow her to have her fun as she pivoted on her back right foot, letting her fighting stance completely reverse quickly as the girl would be allowed to touch the ground once again. Azumi was more than ready for an attack as she noticed the shoulder of the girl began to shift once again, just as she would have expected. The girl had to the very least learned not to throw straight punches straight off the bat, seeing as she was using her left hand as the lead for a JAB. 

Azumi chose to take on the little boxing she was familiar with as she tucked her arms closer to her chest, covering her face like in a peek-a-boo stance, Azumi quickly bobbed her head to the side to avoid the attack itself while at the same time advancing her left foot forward to put herself on the inside of the attacker's stance. As the first, and only jab Azumi would allow passed just beside her right ear, she quickly threw her own left handed jab at her opponent's throat; which was a prime target to throw off the opponent's guard. After hopefully making a connecting blow with the throat, or possibly the face if the opponent attempted to duck, Azumi would do her best to quickly take an advancing step forward so that she could swing her right elbow to the side, aimed at the side of the opponent's head. This was designed to throw the opponent off balance, and overall deal a little bit of damage overall. 

[there, practice your blocking :3]
