Gunnr walked into the boxing gym that she had managed to find and then looked over her shoulder at Koori, "See I told you there was one here. Boxing gyms are every where." Gunnr said with a smile as she looked around to see the fighters in here hard at work. She loved coming to the boxing gym everyone here was always covered in sweat, or someone was beating the snot out of someone else. As looked over at one particular pair that was boxing and watched as one was defending against the punches of the other. She tilted her head to the said and watched the blows graze off his arms.

It was an strange thing to see one using their arms for something a shield would be much better at doing. However, she did have a technique that drew on the energy of blows delivered. That accompanied by the proper way to block could prove to be very valuable. Gunnr looked over at the fighters and copied the position of the one defending themselves. She did not ask for instruction, she did not need it. She simply needed to see a technique done once and she could grasp the mechanics of it.

This particular technique, wasn't exactly rocket science either.She got herself into a stance and began to go through the motions she saw the person in front of her do. She watched the feet, saw how they were planted. Anyone with any knowledge of boxing would know that the key to a powerful boxer, didn't come from their arm muscles, but their legs muscles and how they moved their bodies. She looked on intently as she copied every minute detail.

As she continued to the copy the person in the ring she looked over at Koori, who still seemed to bee slowly making his way inside. She snickered, he was such a old man, taking his time all the time. She wondered if he would be interested in regaining his youth. She would ask him once he got inside. It seemed a rather odd things to asked so suddenly. She looked back over at the fighters in the ring and then continued to copy the one that was protecting themselves.

She glanced up at the defender and then looked down at her stance, it was a little off, but it could get the job done. Even still the more she could improve her stance the better. She won't this to provide her with as much defense as possible. However, she had little time and there was other things that she wanted to get into, so wouldn't be able to spend to much time on just this. After she had perfected the technique she would need to try it out in battle and then move on to more, exciting fair.

She looked up once again as she saw the man shuffling his feet and swaying his body with each blow. He was blocking the attacks well enough and she could only assume that was because of the way he was moving his body, but also because of the strength of his arms. She had plenty of muscle and might in her arms, that shouldn't be much of a problem for her. She narrowed her eyes, as she matched his stance once again, and began to shuffle her feet. She began to back up rapidly and then push forward.

Gunnr looked down and her guard and then stood up and looked over at the two boxing. The two of them had stopped and were looking over at Gunnr. She raised an eyebrow and looked over at Koori who still didn't seemed to have settled in. The Boxer that was doing the attacking commented on Gunnr's form being perfect and asked her how long had she be training it. She shrugged, "How ever long it's been since I walked in?" The two of the boxers eyes widen and they asked her to get into the ring.

Gunnr hopped up and then two of them asked her to get into her stance again. Gunnr did as they asked and then put up her guard. As she put up her guard, the two of them walked around her and poked and prodded her stance. As they did so they would notice no weaknesses in what she was doing. The two of them nodded their heads and, commended her. "Nice, but let's see how it holds up under attack." Gunnr smiled wide as that was what she was going to do herself. Now she could save her energy and not use a soul split.

She stood up straight and shrugged her shoulders, "Good that saves me some time." As she said this the attacker from before quickly got into a stance and sent a hard jab at Gunnr. Her feet shifted as it glided above the ground, as she got herself into her boxing stance. As her stance was initiated, hr guard popped up with mind blowing speed. The speed at which she brought up her guard was accompanied by the sound of something akin to a sonic boom. The jab collided with her arm and she chuckled, "Such a light punch... really no need to block that one."

As she mocked the puncher a bit his sparring partner would chuckle a bit. The boxer smiled as it seemed like he could go harder then normal, as this girl not only had excellent form but power to match as well. "Block everything I throw at you. Let nothing through." He told Gunnr who smirked she had no intention of letting something like that happen anyway. Another jab would come her way and once again she blocked it with very little effort. He still wasn't swinging as hard as he could but she could tell there was more power behind the blow.

Still it wasn't anything that she couldn't handle normally, with the added might was this arm block, she barely felt the punch at all. She glared through her guard for a moment as she saw the next punch coming her way. There was more power behind this one. She could tell just by looking at the punch and the way it was thrown. However, the speed of the Jab was also a bit disappointing. It was easy to track and therefore to predict, if this was a real fight she would have just counter the punch that seemed to be moving in slow motion to her at the moment.

The closed up her arm guard and his fist would collide into the forearms of Gunnr. As the punch landed the boxing gloves that he had on melded to the arm and wrapped around it, as the force continued to push into her. This one still didn't done much of anything in terms of damage, but she could feel the way the forces of the punch was enacting itself onto her body. Using this information she could improve her guard to make her over all stance more sturdy, and powerful.

Gunnr and her attacked continued to move through the ring together. The sounds of her feet scratching the surface of the ring echoed through the gym. She was enjoying herself even though the punches that the man was throwing were less than impactful. The look on her face was saying all to the man, she was still no finding his punches to be much of a threat. He stopped his punching and then stood there looking at Gunnr. Gunnr dropped her guard and then folded her arms with a look of disappointment on her face.

"Fine. guess I should get serious." The man said as he got into a fighting stance, that was different than before. Gunnr nodded her head, "Good... this was becoming a bore." Gunnr got back into her fighting stance, as the man approached her. He sent in a powerful straight punch, and it collided against Gunnr's guard. As the punch hit the collision made an almost explosive sound as the power that the man showed was much more than anything that he had put forward before.

"Finally a punch with some weight to it." Gunnr said with a smile on her face from behind her guard. The man smiled as it seemed to would have to go all out just so this young girl could get into the training. Where did a gem like this come from? He would ask after he got his fill. It had been a very long time since he could really let loose. He charged in with his gloved fist poised to strike, and cocked back his hand as her extended his arms back and then forward putting all of his body weight into the punch.

The blow connected and the sound echoed throughout the gym. The blow was strong enough to make Gunnr creek backwards just a bit, but he still wasn't maybe to really push her back any significant distance. She smiled and then looked over the guard, "Is that all you got?" Gunnr asked with a smile on her face. She could feel the power of the blow but felt no real pressure from it. He man grinned, and then began to unleash a furry of blows into Gunnr's guard. As the blows came in Gunnr was finally starting to feel the pressure.

The blows continued to land, and as they did so she would steadily start to move backwards. As she moved backwards her hair would begin to glow as she took in more and more of the power that was behind the punches. However, while she was taking in all of the power, she was feeling very little of it. The man continued to deliver blow after blow as and Gunnr continued to guard against his strikes as they kept coming at her. The man asked, "What's the matter, to much for you now girly?" The man said in response to the girls hair starting to glow.

It must happen when she was under high stress, he thought to himself. "Hmm? Why do you ask?" Gunnr responded rather non-nonchalantly. She didn't seem to be under much stress at all, "Is it the hair? It's the hair isn't it? It such a terrible tell. When I get excited... so does it." Gunnr chuckled as she came out of her guard rather explosively. Uncrossing her arms rather aggressively. That cause the man to repel back a bit and then lunge forward with another attack. Gunnr giggled as she held out her hand and meet the punch with her palm. And explosive burst of kinetic energy expelled, knocking the mane back out of the ring. "Whoops... sorry. Think I went overboard."

The man that Gunnr had knocked out of the ring stood up in a bit of shock, after experiencing the power of the girl. "Woah... that little girl is a monster." After he commented his training partner responded as well, "Maybe I should try her out." He jumped into the ring and tossed Gunnr a pair of Boxing gloves. After Gunnr put them on he got into a strange stance that Gunnr hadn't seen before. She was the way his guard was down and found it to be quite interesting. She got into the form herself, and then then began to mimic his movements perfectly.

"This is a much more relaxed stance... I like it. I think I'll take it." Gunnr said with a smile on her face as the man began to move around the ring, and Gunnr would mimic him as a mirror imagine. The man was shocked at how perfectly the girl was copying his movements, but that wasn't going to be enough, "You're not suited for this stance, or the things that come with it." Gunnr's head titled to the side, "Really? Why's that?"

"I'm coming, Jeez."

Koori took his sweet time making his way inside. By the time he had arrived, Gunnr was already inside a boxing ring sparring with people. Had she even learned Boxing before this? At any rate, Koori had no interest in Boxing techniques. They didn't utilize the legs properly, in Koori's mind. Goutetsu however, did. He saw a man training Goutetsu in the corner with a kick boxer.

Koori made his way over to the man as Gunnr was essentially doing her own thing in the ring. Getting down and bending his legs, Koori placed his right hand behind his back and held his left arm out before him, palm facing up. It looked right to Koori.

"This it?"

"You don't have the reach..." The man said coldly and calmly to Gunnr. For the first time in awhile she felt a chill run down her spine. This man was formidable. Much more so than his counter part from earlier. "Well it's about time Old Man...." Gunnr shouted out to Koori as he made his way into the gym and went over towards the kickers. "You're not going to be boxing with me? Same." Gunnr wasn't really much for fancy kicks and spins. She felt that the legs were needed to provide a solid base, and support. Having them failing about in the air unnecessarily left you far to exposed, with an unbalanced base.

"Pay attention girly." The man said as Gunnr's attention was drawn back to the man, just in time to see a fist coming towards her face. She was struck in the face, and she had a shocked looked. He was too far away for such a blow to land... wasn't he? And the speed of that Jab, not possible. Her curiosity surged, "Do it again." The man chuckled as it seemed the girl wasn't even phased by the blow she just received. he smiled and then sent out another two jabs faster than the last. Gunnr's eyes seemed to go dead, as she deftly swayed side to side out of the way of the jabs.

Her stalking eyes watching every moment. "I see... so." After she finished her dodge, she took a step forward, and sent out two lightning fast jabs with her leading left hand. The speed of her jabs was a match for the man she had just stolen the move from. His eyes widened as he just barely had time to but up a guard, and move out of her striking range. She had deceptively long arms, not only that, her movements and accuracy, she was posed to be a great Outfighter, but there was also something else.

Goutetsu no Kamae #2 (Strong Iron Stance #2)

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture A boxer stance. The user has their legs bent and arms raised up to cover the face. The Jabbing fist is slightly more forward then the strong fist. Elbows are in, shoulders are up, hands are cupped but not clenched. Fist is never clenched because it is best to clench the moment of contact. This creates a stronger force of hit. Knees are bent, body straight but lowered to protect the stomach area. The legs move as the user bobs and weaves never staying in place.

"HAH! Pay attention little girl."

The Jounin put emphasis on the little part, mocking what the man said to her. He laughed as he watched her get punched in the face shortly before that sentence. Koori turned his attention back to the man in front of him. The man began to move without saying a word. Koori immediately hopped out of his stance and into another one. This time It was more of a boxer stance ironically. He stood with his knees bent, and arms floating in front of his face. Fists formed but not tight, never tight in stance, only when applying the punch would you clench, it was cleaner and applied more force that way. His fists covers each side of his face and his elbows were pulled in nice and tight.

This was a more upright stance for the Jounin, and allowed a lot more movement for him. He danced around in a circle with the sparring partner as he mirrored his stance. Koori made sure to keep his eyes, as per usual, fixated on the center of mass of his target. It made predicting movements in fights easier.

"C'Mon, do something guy."

The power behind her jab, was incredible, and her ability to take a punch. She was rather tall, and still growing. Getting a good look at her, she had deceptively long arms, and knew how to move her body well. She could be a monster, if she was trained properly. The man didn't know, that she already was one. "You seem to be day dreaming, old man." Gunnr said as she moved in close in the same stance that the boxer was in. He was in fact daydreaming, and by the time he came to Gunnr was sending Speed jabs.

The man's eyes widened as he quickly back away from the blows being sent his way. He needed to get some distance, as while her arms was longer than he previously thought, his was longer. However, he was not expecting what was coming next. Gunnr was an aggressive fighter she was not going to let up on the attack when she clearly had her opponent on the run. As she closed in he would shunshined back and made a sharp 90 degree turn, that was impossible with the run of the mill shunshin. However, as he came out of Gunnr was still standing there in front of him, having tracked his movements.

"What the...?" The man said as Gunnr sent out 2 more jabs, that moved even faster than before. The two blows would connect as Gunnr said with a smile, "I already know how to do that one. Dash... right?" Gunnr said with a smile on her face as the man recoiled back from the hit. A smile came across his face as this girl really was strong, even her jabs hit like a straight from some of the stronger fighters he's face. he would not be able to drop his guard again. As he refocused, he looked at Gunnr, as she sent another set of jabs.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: When someone attacks with their right hand, put your right foot behind their left, with your two feet pointing towards each other. After that, follow up with your left foot, circle behind your opponent's left side and you appear behind the opponent. This can be followed by a throw; when behind the opponent's rear, hit their neck with your right arm, and put your right leg behind their legs. You should not necessarily hit the opponent's neck too severely, as the opponent will have lost their balance already depending on the speed of the attack, not the strength of it.

Gunnr seemed to be taking care of business in the ring, as Koori let his attention drift to her if for only a mere second. As he did this, the man before him got agitated. He was wwaiting for Koori to attack, who was clearly waiting for the man to attack. He got fed up and charged the Jounin full speed. Koori wisened up quickly and put eyes back on the man who was roughly the same age as the Venator.

The man rushed in with his right hand raised ready to strike. Koori kept his eyes cenetered as the man threw his punch. Koori placed his left heel behind the right foot of his opponent. Immediately afterwords he swept his foot in a circular motion and appeared behind the man, who brutally whiffed his punch. Koori was in prime position for a throw or anything else, but he instead decided to wait and taunt his opponent.

"Over here chump!"

He said with a rather low and old sounding voice. Before the man could even think to turn around Koori was already on the move, to make the man pay for waiting to attack so long, and then so stupidly. Koori right hand formed straight and stiff like a board as he chopped the back of the mans neck, sending him rolling forward off the sparring mats before them both.

"This Gym doesn't have anyone worthy of us, Gunnr."

The Jounin said, slowly but surely getting bored of the pedestrians within the gym.
