"it's time for randori practice, please break off into your groups." Amira would comment as she would let the class break up. She paired up with four of her senior students, one wielding a short staff, one wielding a boken, one with a tanto, and one without a weapon.She was going to do some freestyle Randori with her trusted students so that she could hone her skills as an open handed fighter. She would come to an open space on the mat as she would come to a ready stance and give a quick bow to her students who would begin to attack her now that the agreement of readiness was established. Amira would first focus on the attacker that came at her to her front, the fellow with the sword. His range was threatning, but was also inclusive of a blade that could end a fight if a hit was landed. A blow from the staff was survivable, but if she were to get nicked by the sword it would all be over. Her second senses kicked in as her ability to balance well became apperant. She moved in quickly moving her arm past the sword moving in for a very direct Irimi nage. She floored the fellow moving past him, making sure that he didn't attack her from the ground. Being martially aware was important to the art of Aikido and in the practical use of the art.

She felt a need to defend behind her as suddenly she could hear the footsteps of the fellow with the staff who was swinging the stick over his head. Amira quickly moved in, moving and spinning to the outside as she would grab the weapon with one and and push the person away with her hip, swining her hip under the fellow and using her leverage with the stick to preform a hip toss with it. The fellow rolled away as Amira now engaged the fellow with out a weapon who was trying to grab her stick. She would quickly weave her staff inbetween the fellow's arm, preforming a hammerlock like joint lock with her stick before pusing the fellow away to roll. She felt pretty secure right this moment, as she controlled the pace of the fight. She had the staff weapon, and she was keeping the fellow's at bay. This was about to change when suddenly she felt her sixth sense kick in, but almost too late as the fellow with the tanto came at her from behind. She quickly spun, grabbing the wrist of the fellow, making a tenkan step before flipping the fellow over his own wrist and controlling the knife and stepping away. This was an intense practice, but it wasn't something foriegn to Amira.

She felt the fellow, one of the two without weapons now, grab her from behind, attempting to apply a RNC on her while she struggled. She quickly tossed the weapon, grabbed the fellow's arm and flipped him over her back in a shoulder throw. This was one of her favorite moves, and could be done on most anyone. She felt the fellow impact with the ground as she left the weapon for the fellow to pick up. She was being easy on these fellows as they were gradually leveling up their degree of practice. She would work up her fighting with that of her partners. She wasn't attacking them, and thus had many openings to counter. She was a counter fighter after all. Having the ability to react and move was helping her understand what it was that she needed to do. She would need to have a strong defense if she was ever going to have any hope of using her counters under real pressure.

She had been keeping her balance so far. The emphasis on movement amd awareness were key for a martial artist, even if this one was a witch of unfathomable power. She kept her feet relaxed and moved like the water she represented as she gracefully spun inbetween the two fellows with weapons. She moved, knowing the placement of each step as she placed her foot. She was becoming aware oh her style of movement. This first portion of training was designed to test balance and maneuverability. She kept her feet balanced as she moved around gracefully. She would move onmy when her opponent gave her a reason to move. With her methodology of aikido, she was able to defend against even the strangest of attacks. Amira was always on balance. As she moved around, her partners began to exaust as their stamina was being used up.

She wondered how long they could keep up with her. Amira had been training from a very young age to inherit her grandfathers dojo. Now that she had been recovering from her illness she felt as if she had never left. Her attention was always on her partners, and they would have a ttuely difficult time sneaking up on her. She inhaled softly, letting the new influx of air invigorate her body. She was a keeper of sin and order. She could feel that her body moved like the tides of the ocean. Swaying away from the attacks like a natural wave, moving to a frow. She was a ship in the sea of combat. Being a master of ones self is a skill that was invaluable to any warrior. She slowly began to move towards the center of the mat, controlling the flow of the attackers with her positioning and movement. This was the base of aikido movements.

Amira felt one of the fellows grab onto her wrist from behind as suddenly she needed to rearrange her plan. She quickly stopped her movement, her instincts kicking in as she stopped amd turned her body im a circular fashion. She kept tension in the fellows wrist amd she spun it over his head and took him to the mat with a shihonage throw. It was crude and in motion, but she had no time to rest as she focused mostly on keeping her own balance. Balance was key. She would keep moving away from her attackers as she would manage the distance between herself and them.

She felt sweat dreanched. "what an excellent workout," Amira commented as she picked up her gym bag. Sliding out the door, she began to make her way home. The streets were fairly vacant for a warm winter afternoon, Amira thought to herself as she walked down the street in her hoody and jean shorts. She felt a strange sensation of being followed a she turned around to look to see if there was a potential pursuer. She turned and saw nothing, though her inner senses were telling her otherwise. Strange, she thought to herself, her body wanting to fight as she relaxed and decided that she would remain alert while she continued to walk. She wandered down the street and made a turn down an alley heading towards her home. She heard a bit of rustling behind her, but she knew that if she reacted, it might insight her now possible attackers to execute something she was not ready for. She felt something push her forward into one of the walls as she shifted her weight forward, reacting on instinct as she felt her forearms collide with the obstacle. "Give me your money, I've got friends." The fellow commented as Amira felt an edge weapon pushing into her side. It was too close, she thought to herself as he felt a hand on her ass, grabbing at the seem. 

Amira quickly turned her body in a circular motion, using the fellow's trapped fingers to her advangage as she felt a crack, and felt as if something was coming her way. She was not going to be easy to take on now that she had control over her situation. She pushed the fellow away only to be confronted by the second who was down the street with what looked like a firearm. She heard the bolt wizzing towards her head as she jumped back into the wall dodging the attack as the primary attacker recovered from his broken fingers. She grabbed onto the fellow's gun turning and bending his wrist, throwing him in a high arc, and slamming him to the ground, removing the weapon. SHe felt as if she was doing something out of an action movie as she took the weapon from the fellow's hand and pointed down range towards the fellow who had attempted to drop her pants for whatever evil things he had been planning.


"On the ground motherfucker," She commanded, her irises transforming from a deep color to that of a blood red. The eyes of her bloodlimit, placed an intimidating presence as she kept her senses alive, controlling the fellow on the ground by the wrist and pointing the weapon down the alley. She was a sharpshooter, so hitting her target would not have been anything difficult. She sighed as she aimed and pulled the trigger, aiming at his knee cap. She was a fighter after all. Things were going crazy as she snapped the elbow of the fellow she was controlling and gave him a good kick for measure after she heard the scream of her first attacker. The bolt had sunk into the beast's leg and Amira made her way back home, unphased by the experience, as it had been the way of the world during her youth in the time of civil war and unrest. It seemed that in this survival of the fittest envoriment the village was now undergoing, she was seeing the change that seemed mostly familiar.

Her heart rate was through the roof, which given the circumstances was normal. Amira wrestled with her partner, getting a good grip on her Gi as she attempted to wheel her around with a Kaiten-Nage like throw. She pulled but found herself unsuccessful as her training partner stepped around her kazushi with ease. She bit her lip. damn it to hell, she thought to herself as she pulled her sleeve away from the fellow’s own grasp. She had become in tune with her surroundings, hearing some movement behind her as someone else came to attack her, as they had been instructed to. She quickly ripped the fellow’s sleeve grip from her lapel and prepared to react to the other fellow in an aggressive yet acceptable manner. She pushed the fellow’s arm cross laterally and swung her hips under his body. She utilized her awareness of her own body and that of her other attacker to calculate how she was going to throw this fellow. She spun, letting her eyes lock with her other opponent’s eyes as she pulled on the fellow’s sleeve and lined her hip up.

This throw, which in Aikido is classified as a Koshi-Waza, was a modified Koshi-Nage. She lifted the fellow up onto her hip and rolled him over right onto the attacking fellow. She had used her prior perception to figure out how she was to do such a feat. She slammed the fellow onto his partner. She was working on controlling her senses in such a way that she could keep her mind free to defend from any angle. She moved fluidly, relaxing as she let the fellows collide with her sode-tsurikomi goshi throw. She reassessed her situation and moved backwards as her partners both began to attack once again. She parried the first blow of the direct attacker but was pushed to the side into what she could only guess from the corner of her eye to be a kick. She put her hands up and tried to block the attack as best as she could. She stumbled backwards as her forearms ate the blow.

She was now in a very defensive mind set. She was an Aikido master, but she had yet to assemble a true understanding of the art. Her attackers came at her again, driving towards her as she moved backwards a bit before moving forward. Her brain began to map out a path of movement for her to being taking as she kept her hands up. The first attack came as a simple jab to her face. She parried the blow downward; which brought on a right straight reaction. She quickly deflected the fellow’s wrist. His partner tried to come around and attack her, but Amira had a good understanding of how to move. She stepped in front of the fellow, twisting his wrist in a kotegaeshi throw to the front. She kept the fellow in sight and his partner on the ground in-between herself and the remaining attacker. This was truly the purpose behind aikido.

Amira was exhausted. She could feel each breath struggling to escape her mouth as she tried to remain vigilant. One did not become strong by simply giving up after all. She moved backwards trying to keep pace. She weaved her head gracefully away from each strike, making dodges appear effortless as she moved with the esteem of a flowing river. She kept her bodies integrity, never letting herself fall flatfooted as she prepared herself for the much more intense workout. She would not allow herself to take any more damage with how tired she was. She would have to keep moving so that she could avoid being beat up over a simple practice. She kept her movements compact and efficient so that she could deal with on coming threats from any direction. She was a skilled hand to hand fighter and remained under pressure the whole time she avoids these two fellows. She would have to put them down to make sure that they understood that they could not simply push around because of her illness and prior weakness.

The first fellow made his attack, and it was obviously a serious attempt at a double-leg tackle. Amira was familiar with the attack and knew that she would have to sprawl out and push his head into the ground to avoid the attack. She quickly executed this maneuver but understood that anytime she chose to engage with someone in a grappling situation she would have to be careful of the second attacker. She could not wrestle with the guy very long if she was to survive their scuffle. She pushed her legs back and drove the fellow to the floor, but she was really focused on the other fellow. She could attempt to submit the fellow with a joint lock or choke, but that would make her too committed to the ground. A good ground fighter knows that when it is time to stand up, one should not dwell on the ground too long. The ground offers control, but it also limits mobility. She quickly spun around on the fellow’s back as the second person came up behind her and attempted to attack her. She pushed away from her grounded opponent and decided to work her attacks standing.

She moved backwards with an intent this time as she waited for the right moment. She saw the fellow attempting to reach for her and that was what she wanted him to do. Grabbing his wrist, she quickly spun under him and preformed a Sankyo wrist lock lifting him up before spinning him into his now recovering partner. She held the fellow’s arm for a moment, knowing she could break it now if she so chose to while the other guy recovered. She did not, of course, as her training partners were also her friends and students. Amira released her hold. “That seems like enough for today.” She stated regularly as she thought about her movements. She knew she would need to remain well postured and moving if she were to maintain her balance during a fight. This important concept did not escape Amira as she relaxed and went to the locker rooms to change.
