Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu)

This gym was giving lessons to those that were interested in knowing how to do wrestling moves. I went ahead and signed right up then shortly after went through some test to see if I met the standards before they are allowed to teach me anything. Once all of that was out of the way the gave me an instructor and started to teach me some moves right from the get-go. However said that I should learn some strikes before I go into grapples so I went along with it.

The back elbow, the instructor demonstrated for me of what it is and the mechanics of doing it. I stood close to him and I try to imitate his movements. Raising my arm to the side of me where my wrist was paralleled to my shoulder. Then I bend my joint at the elbow area about 90 degrees. Watching the instructor, he said the trick is to twist your body so the point of the elbow connects. I must be very careful to not forget to rotate my body, for if I do there is a good chance that I will miss the connection of the point of my elbow and get with the area right above it.

That area is somewhat sensitive and impact on it can cause numbness to even lose of use of the forearm for a period of time. I twist only my waist and the instructor said that was excellent. He even showed me how to strike without moving my waist but by simple moving back my shoulder. I done it and he was very impressed that I am able to do it with such ease and without any stress. He says that usually wrestlers have quite a hard time flexing their bodies like that due to their bulkiness. But with someone with my strong yet soft muscles using these wrestling maneuvers will be a breeze.

I have to think where my opponent is at exactly when I`m about to do this strike. The instructor says it`s easy to hit someone when they are at 4 or 5 o`clock position from your person. Though it is kinda tricky when trying to get someone right at the 6 o`clock position, right behind you. He showed me boy moving his shoulders and waist that once you get the hang of it you can easily take someone out from the 6 o`clock position. I attempted to do what he did, he showed me that when moving my shoulder back I also have to move my other shoulder forward.

So it would be in a rotation motion that I move both my shoulders. Also it be easier to strike with the point of my elbow if I bent the joint from 90 degrees to as much as I can. Doing this is said that it will be very difficult to harm yourself when you don`t connect right at the point of your elbow. Then finally I rotate my waist to fully rotate my upper body. Once I done that my instructor said to do it again but see how far I can do it. I tried the same movements again by tried to twist just a little be farther. The instructor complemented my great body structure and said I can easily take out someone from the 7 to even the 8 o`clock position from using just my right shoulder.

Bell Clap
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user wrestler slaps both ears of an opponent simultaneously with the palms of his hands, distorting their balance.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu)

Next technique is the bell clap, the instructor showed me while explaining what it is. It is an interesting maneuver to distort the opponent`s balance. Trying to imitate what he has done I raised both arms straight in front of me then I simple clapped my hands together. The instructor said I shouldn`t be so concentrated with my fingers like I should with just using my palms. He then dragged a full bodies practice dummy in front of me on a chair. He had me step aside and demonstrated the technique on the dummy. The sound was strikingly loud when his palms landed on the ear carvings of the dummy.

Saying that this is to not damage the ear but to cause a ruckus inside their head to the point that they can`t determine the ground is still. Allowing me to get in front of the dummy again he put my arms up straight out to my sides. Saying that at this point is a good way to easily cause enough of a shake. I went ahead and swift my arms as if I`m going for a loud clap and hit the dummy on the sides of its head. The instructor was observing and said I need to land the palms just right above the ear holes so the shock can go pass the eardrum.

So I did the same movements a few times trying to get my aim right. I then imagine the dummy wasn`t even there at all and tried to hit my palms together in good symmetry. Once I try to keep that in mind I try to aim at the ears of the dummy. Then I performed a big swing with my arms again and hit the targets dead on. Then I perform the bell clap a few more times to see if I really got my aim down. The instructor made me step closer to the dummy to see if I can do it with bent elbows. It was pretty hard to do it at that point so the instructor made me step aside again and showed me how it would be done.

The real tricky part here was trying to get the momentum pass the elbows from the shoulders toward the hands. He said to simply bend your elbow only after you feel the shock wave movement left them to go to the palms. Also said that it is actually easier than it sounds. So I went in front close to the dummy again and tried it out. If I bend my elbows before or during the momentum passes them it pretty much went to waste and would have to rely only on hand power. So I kept trying the technique a few times. Then I realized it should be really easy to do when I actually thought about it for a bit. When I attempt the technique again I waited until the momentum went right to the palms of my hands and bent my elbows at the last second. Piece of cake.

I tried it a few more times until I actually got the hang of it. The instructor explained that it can be used well when you`re face to face your opponent. He stepped away again and he demonstrated while putting no space between him and the dummy. He allowed me to get in front of the dummy again and I attempted. It should be easy after I got the elbow bending thing down. What ya need to do is right when the momentum leaves the shoulders you drag them back and let it flow through the elbows. Then you bend the elbows and finally the split second when the momentum passes the wrists I must bend those too. I attempt it 1..2..3...4 times, then I started to do it just about right. The instructor says that I could also use my chest when enclosing my hands for extra help.

Body Press
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Also known as a splash or body block, a body press involves an wrestler falling against the opponent with the core of their body. It is executed from a running or jumping position, using momentum and weight to impact the opponent, and most variations can seamlessly transition into a pin.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu)

Next lesson, the body press. The instructor said then took the chair away but left the dummy. Explaining, this is the unique attack in wrestling that uses the torso as a weapon. Then he demonstrates, I figured it was simple enough. So he let me try it, simply tipped over landing on the dummy. I knew right away that it wasn`t the right way to go unless you could really depend on your weight. I moved aside to let the instructor demonstrate again. Watching closely it looks like he is thrusting his shoulders down. He explains that you have to really force yourself down. Whatever ya got to actually hit the ground, don`t let the name be a misconception.

Or else not even the cruiser-weights (those that are fairly light) wouldn`t ever want to do this. I didn`t really know, I just thought it was something only really big guys do. Though I guess it does make sense since flying maneuvers are pretty much slamming down with the body. It also shows how really tough wrestlers are, the instructor had no doubt that I would be fine do this. So he step aside to let me take a crack at it again. He said it was okay to start just be standing so I tried starting doing that. I was on a nice surprisingly comfy mat so I shouldn`t be worried at all. I tried to force downward with my shoulders while I move my upper body forward. The instructor left to help some other guys so I was here trying to get this down as I repeated the technique.

I start to try to sweep my own feet instead of just tipping over them. That allowed me to hit on (pause) the dummy. Though I was still trying to figure the best way to knock my feet off the ground. Well I guess that`s why you need to jump, so I did a little leap and try to bring down more force with my shoulders. I got back up and figured that I still have mobility when not even touching the ground. So that gave me the idea of just giving it all I got to force myself downward. I took a small leap again and while in the mid-air I quickly tried to bend my waist down before impact.

I hit the dummy a lot quicker and with more impact. I got back up and tried it again taking a leap up then coming down with me bending my waist like I`m using it to help toss my body down. It`s starting to look pretty good to me. I got up and tried the body press again but this time also using my shoulders along with my waist to help me force my way down quicker and with more impact. I thought for a bit if it would help if I clench up my upper body but I didn`t go for it since I like keeping my body relaxed. Anyways, I had an idea for adding more force. I got back up and tried the technique again, the shoulders, the waist, and also controlling my gut and chest to push outwards and finally landed on the dummy. I was really enjoying able to throw my body around like this.

[Rarilue]

Body Press

The instructor came back and wanted me to show how I was coming along. I showed him the full works, jumping up then pushing my shoulders downwards. Then bending my waist as strongly as I can and then finally pushing out my gut and chest onto the dummy. The instructor said I was doing well in learning out to do this technique. He then dragged the dummy out of the way and hand it to some other instructor that would use it to show the guys he is teaching moves to. Then he explains that I`m ready to learn the next bit of using this technique and that is against a standing target. Saying that I learned the "body splash" portion I would know learn the "body block". He asked another instructor to come help him demonstrate to me. Once the other person came they started showing me how it looks. And it was such a sight to see, looks much more fearsome when done on a standing foe. The repeated a few times then the other instructor went along to train some other guys.

The sound of the body slam was like if you take one big chunk of steak and dropped it on another big piece of meat. The instructor said to me that I may use the body press on him (pause). He seemed like a pretty tough dude so I shouldn`t be worried. So I ran at him then when I got close enough I leaped forward forcing my body upon s (wrestling has a lot of "pause" moments). The instructor didn`t go down though and saying that my attempt was "okay". I was off my feet hanging by his shoulders but I then got off and walked back to gain some distance from me and him. I turned then ran at him again attempting to really try and knock him down. Right when I got close enough, I put a lot more effort into my legs and leaped right at him slamming my body onto his. "Much better", he commented.

I was hanging onto his head and shoulders and got off to turn around then walked to gain distance again. Seems I need to do a lot more force to even knock him down. I turned around to face him in the short distance. I could use all the things I learned from earlier since he would be knocked on the ground anyways. I then ran at him once more. Once I got close enough and a couple steps apart from me. I took one more step forward and I bent my ankle as much as I can and bend my knee also ready to unleash. I moved my other need forward like I`m going in for a nice kick.

Before the 'kick' could even make contact I sprung out the joints in my other leg. Thus making my body go toward the instructor in decent amount of force. Before our body could connect even then I bent my waist as strongly as I could and thrust my shoulders forward onto him and then finally pushed out my gut and chest outward at him. With good impact our bodies flew back a bit and finally landed on his back with my on top of him ( no pause!). I didn`t even try to stop the force when I contacted him but rather I tried to keep going until after he hits the ground and my momentum stopped on its own. The instructor suddenly says, "That was excellent". I got back up then gave him a hand up, not a scratch to be found on either of us. Well.. maybe with me sweating a bit.

OoC: Yeah, that herbal training I did really did get the better of me e.e


IC: Going back to the our area on the mat I wanted to continue this. I decide to run at him again trying to perfect this technique. Once I got close I chose not to leap ahead but to simply charge. Once my slammed onto him I kept moving forward just by 1 step. At this points it means I took off his foundation (sturdy on his feet) on the ground. So at that moment I dragged his body downward with my own until his back landed on the mat. I helped him up and such and started to get some distance again to do it again. The big impacted I did before took too much out of me and used a lot of unnecessary energy on my part. I began to charge at him again now knowing a leap is okay but to continue through him is a much better and even easier way to knock someone down.

Once we smacked into each other again I not only charged a step forward but for a meter or two. Then that is when I decided to slam him down with my body weight. The momentum from the run converted into the slamming to the ground caused more of an impact. I helped him up again and got distance after such I charged in again. I hit him with my body then right when I started to drag him I controlled my shouldered and forced them as I went down with him to the ground. I wanted to be sure if the extra force I put on my end, such as using my shoulders, would help increase impact and it did.

I decided that I want to do it one more time so I helped him up and got into position once more. It`s funny how I thought in wrestling you only need to use strength but I guess it takes for such brute techniques to be mastered. I charged at sensei once again, bodies connects and I kept my full awareness on just the slightest drag. The instant I felt his foundation broken I converted the kinetic energy to drag him down using my legs. And at the same time I used my shoulders, waist, chest, gut, and flexibility of the back to put more force downward on his body. Then finally the slam.


OoC: Ah, that should be much better.

Body Press Variation: Crossbody
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Also known as crossbody block, this is a maneuver in which a wrestler jumps onto his opponent and lands horizontally across the opponent's torso, forcing them to the mat and usually resulting in a pinfall attempt. There is also an aerial variation, known as a flying crossbody, where wrestler leaps from an elevated position towards the opponent.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu), Must know Body Press

I helped sensei up again, complemented me and asked if I want to try the cross body next. I agreed after he explained what it is. I went into position and charged at him. As I got close I lift my feet and rotated my body and hit his body with my horizontally readied torso. The impact knocked him off his feet and we both went down to the ground but it wasn`t very much of an impact. We got up and I went into position again. I start to charge, and when I got close enough I decided and attempted leap at him while at the same time rotating my body. When we impacted our bodies my torso was about diagonal but still we both went to the ground.

Getting up and back in the starting spot again. I wasted no time and ran right into him. Right before contact I tried to control my whole body and leaped at him while rotating like a shot spinning arrow. Are bodies hit and I was at the right horizontal position to have the technique be called the cross body. Now at the spots we were again. I thought for a moment about an issue but then I figured a way to overcome it. I charged in and hit like a spinning arrow again. At that moment I pushed with shoulders and as we went down I lift back my shoulders so they not hit the ground. He wondered if he can put more force with his body without hitting the ground and it was alright. However there was no continuous momentum from his part.

At the start again. I went right in running and hit with my rotated body. Going down I pushed with my shoulders and paid attention to the ground. Right when his back would be slammed upon the mat I transferred the kinetic energy from my shoulders right to my torso. It was tricky, I just imagine my body was a whip and when I push my shoulders back the wave of energy would go through my body and i can push it out from my gut. Now set to do the cross body again. I hit sensei with the cross body and going down. Before hitting the ground I set energy from my shoulders to my gut again. Yet this time I took advantage of the flexibility of my back and use the thrusting of my torso. To combine the kinetic force, from three different areas, to push out from my gut right when we landed on the ground.

Back where we were again. Performing the cross body. Now going downward. Using the parts of my body I used just previously except this time I decide it`s time to add my waist. So I did bending and giving more force downward. Remembering what to do with my shoulders, I pulled my waist to whip the kinetic energy out my torso as well. When landed I suddenly realize there was something else I wasn`t using at the moment. Back in place and doing the cross body yet again going down. Using what I used thus far, I decided to add my leg power for the fall so I did. The act of swinging in the play ground came to my mind but anyways. Whipping my feet and legs back I am able to push forward my torso with more force.

Wanting to try one more thing. The thought of being on a swing set gave me a great idea in adding power in the slam and for going down as well. I charge when and came to position to land the cross body after my torso was at the right angle. At that point I immediately thrust both my arms and legs and head frontwards then our bodies connected. When going down I did everything and included my arms and had in the whip effect to send kinetic energy to my torso. Slamming the ground was a pretty good impact.

Description: This is an attack in which a wrestler runs at an opponent, who is upright in the corner, then jumps forward so that he splashes his whole body stomach-first, squashing his opponent between him and the turnbuckle.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu), Must know Body Press

I went into the nice ring with the ropes and everything. The instructor laid on the turnbuckle and waited for me to go, explaining the stinger splash to me earlier. I ran at him and I we simply connected skins, me bumping into him with the turnbuckle stopping me. Sensei was confident I could do without demonstration. I walked back to position. I ran at him again and when our bodies impacted I tried to continue the charge to see how much cushioning I can pass through until I have his back hit the stern pole behind the turnbuckle. After the lose of momentum i walked back a distance. I charged in again and before contact I leaped straight at him to see if I can have him touch the pole again.

I went back in place. Going in again, I jumped higher then impact commence I figured he is against something anyways so jumping up on him would be enough. I went back and I tried it again but I made my body go down diagonal onto him so I can use my whole weight in the momentum. Impact power was better but I decide to get back in place and ran at him again jumping up and at him again. This time I used the movement of my shoulders and upper body to force downward to go along the potential energy of the impact. Landing on his skin I bend my waist as strongly as I can also.

After, I went back to be set to do it again. I charged in and try to leap forward without gaining distance above the ground. I felt that this was better than just jumping up on him I only wanted to be sure. Walking back then turning charging in and leaped forward again. I decide to pull my shoulders back in a way to transfer.. it was like a whip to ya kinetic energy to travel through my body and outward my gut. It added to result in greater impact. After so I went back to try again. It`s best to attack like you`re a bulldozer and not be afraid to get hurt yourself against anything the foe is leaning against. So adding as much force as I can should be my finishing goal here.

I thought for a moment then ran at sensei again. I leaped forward and tried to use all I got to add force. Using the shoulders again, bending waist. Also converting the strength of my legs, when I press down on the ground to move, and whipped it to travel through out my gut. Also dragging out my torso forward itself outward and using the flexibility of my back. Even stretching out my chest back to travel the help to the back then into the gut. After impact I thought about doing something to add even more force so I went back to the spot and wanted to try that last.

I charged right in and leaped forward. After converting the force from my legs I quickly moved them along with my arms and head out in front of me. I was attempting the move like the opponent is was leaning against a huge wall. With that in mind and with already practiced this trick from learning the cross body. I used my extremities to help add force of my traveling after the leap. And now I pulled them back and whipped the kinetic energy it created to have it travel out my stomach. Slamming against sensei`s body I got off and asked what he thought of my execution.

After giving me a thumbs up sensei explains 1 more tech based from the body press he wants to teach me. After demonstrating it with another instructor he wants me to start practicing it. I ran at him and as I got close enough I jumped onto his shoulders to hopefully knock him to the mat, which he didn`t. I pushed myself off him and went back then tried running at him again. As I got close again I leaped straight at him this time, making him off balance but still has his ground. I went back and tried again charging. I leaped to get my body off the ground and aimed high hitting on the shoulders with my chest. Making him tip over, helped him up, and went back to try again.

Running at him and before impact i try to leap up again and get my aim right. Though instead I latched on him, screwed up on the jumping mixing with the power. So I got off and tried again. Running then again jumping with a nice leaping motion by pushing down one leg as much as I can to move my entire body. Our chests collide and we went down to the ground. We got up and I tried to do it again since the technique would generally have me sitting on his gut. Charging in again I imagine like he was at a few steps up some stairs and leaped at him. My right up at my groin I impacted above his waist and he slammed onto the mat. My little boys downtown were safe however.

Getting up again and walking away then turning and charging at him once again. Leaping at him like I just did previously and adding force with my shoulders and bending my waist as he goes down. At the start again, to get this technique down I have to do something differently I thought as I charged and leaped at him again. Before contacted I decide to whip kinetic energy from my shoulders and waist outward through my torso. Once we impacted I suddenly stopped giving out any force and tried to keep my back straight as he goes down. I sat on his gut yet, even though with my weight, the slam felt weak considering.

Going back to my spot, I knew that wanking my chain all these years is about to pay off, I charged right in and leaped at him. I decide to put in everything I had, before making contract I pushed my arms and legs out to be at his sides. Then I whipped them back transferring the energy wave to my torso. I also whipped the kinetic force from bend my waist and my flexibility stretching out my chest and pushing my back in to force outward my torso. Right when our bodies made contact I immediately pushed my arms and legs straight out again as try to force us more falling to the mat. Then I pulled my extremities back and moved my upper body like I was doing a belly roll. Then with one fierce thrust of my hips and waist downward with the help of my butt muscles onto his gut I slammed him to the mat. It felt like I shat out 1 strong ass punch.

Description: In the bronco buster, an opponent is seated in the corner of the ring while the user wrestler jumps in the corner, straddling his or her opponent's body, and bounces up and down on the opponent's chest.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling (レスリング Resuringu)

Sensei grabbed the nearest dummy and placed it down on the bottom turnbuckle then he demonstrated the move. Letting me practice is now I ran at it and land my butt on its chest. I got back up and tried again running at it. As I got close and jumped on it again but now with my ass on its face. Was no bounce at all really, I went back to the spot and ran at it again. Charging in again I jumped then sat on its chest but this time I grabbed on to the ropes then I try lifting myself a by the arms and slammed my butt on the dummy again. I lift my self up again by the ropes and try to sit then get up as fast as I can. Once I had enough of that I went back to set in position.

I charged in again and then I try to jump up high and then slam my butt onto the chest again grasping the ropes while going down. The impact gave me a bit of a bounce so I used that to help me lift myself up and slam onto the dummy again. Then I kept at it until the momentum ran out and I had to force myself up with my arms again. I got up and went back to my spot to try the technique again. I then thought for a moment and walked to the dummy to set it more on the bottom ropes next to the turnbuckle. Going back and then charging in again I leaped and slid across the upper body and is touching it right on the surface of my ass.

The joint atop of my thighs were almost touching ropes and grabbing onto the mid-ropes with my hands. I force pressure by belly flopping kinetic energy outward my ass to bop the dummy and used the impact to help my lift. It`s not gay if it`s wrestling. And along with the elasticity of the ropes I try to bounce as best as I can. I was doing good until the momentum starts to die down. That is when I try to move my legs up and crunch up my waist so my butt is now hovering. I then straighten my waist as best I can and drop my legs onto the bottom ropes to give my bounce momentum again. With my weight it could cause the foe for a ride. Though I figured I would need to somehow put more impact.

I walked away for a meter or two and turned then ran toward the turnbuckle. Imagining the target is down a set of stairs I leaped towards it. Before impacts I tried my best to put extra force into my butt (pause) and landed on the chest. Grabbing onto the mid-ropes, used the muscles in my cheeks and flexed them in a way that the hardness (tightness) bopped me up a bit. Plus lifting up with the ropes and pushing down on the bottom ropes my body went up more and I slammed down on my butt again. Then repeat, making sure to add force using my waist and hips. I then slid back a bit so the back of my thighs are on the shoulders of the dummy and that helped spread the force of impact and causes the dummy to bounce up and down as well.

Stopping and getting off of the dummy leaning against the lower turnbuckle in the corner of the ring. I walked to the middle of the of the ring and turned to face the dummy. I charged right at it and when I got close enough I leaped at it slamming my butt on its chest. My ankles were on the lower ropes for leverage. I start to push down force and weight from other areas of my body down outward my butt after I used tighten my cheeks to bop me up. Thinking that I could very much use this technique in a real life situation I let go any grasp I had of the ropes and lift my ankles so they don`t even rest upon them. I then use the muscles in my butt-cheeks and move my hips in a way that lift up from the chest of the dummy. Then concentrate my force and whole weight to crush back down and repeat.

When I felt I finally got the hang of it I stopped and stood up. Walking toward the instructor he said, "Remember, it`s not gay if it`s on the moon .. I-I mean if it`s wrestling", then gave a thumbs up. "I`ll try to remember that", I said laughingly with a smile. After I decide to leave the gym for now, I walked out of the building.
