Keeping the edge

[ThatPolishDude]

Geun resisted the attempt to breach her triangle for a bit. She needed Senji to push harder and when she got that she would immediately release the hold and pull his arm while shifting to the side, one of her legs shifting behind his shoulder to serve as a fulcrum for the rotation which would end in her sitting beside him. Now her original plan could continue as she would keep the hold of his wrist and place it against her hip while her leg rested on his bicep. then she would wrap her hands around his opposing shoulder and pull in another attempt at an omoplata.

Unknowingly, Senji had walked into another specific transition. As he shot forward through her legs, he'd seen her twisted towards the side and curl her legs around his trapped arm. Then, another of her favored shoulder locks interfered with his plan, overcoming it entirely. Senji's forehead pressed to the floor as a white hot pain shot around his shoulder joint. However, the hold was at too late a stage for him to resist...and Senji was nearing the point where he'd be out of gas given the multiple sets the trio decided to do. Sighing to himself, Senji tried to stretch his other arm to the floor and tap out to signify his submission.


Should she let him free, Senji set himself on his left side to finally rest after that eventful round. Definitely was the hardest so far, in his opinion.

Geun would immediately let go of Senji when she saw a tap, then she would roll to her back and pump her hands up. "Wooooh! That was a good one!" She let out with a smile, also breathing heavily. In the meantime, Huan would approach and walk towards them before sitting crosslegged next to them both. "Someone sure sounds happy with that round. Senji, any takeaways from today?" Huan asked and leaned back a little, supporting her weight on her hands.

Soon after his submission, Senji heard a genuine cheer of pleasure from Geun. He'd made her-----happy. Amazing! That was the end-goal, after all. Diverting his eyes from Geun, Senji still with a nervous sluggishness opened his arms to offer Haru a conclusive 'romp' while he split his attention to the approaching woman. If she was too late to take him up on the seconds-long opportunity, then he'd shift to sit on his knees with his hands over his lap. Regardless, he would address Huan concerning her question. An ear to ear smile graced his face, the lengthy battle having appealed to his subconscious liking immensely despite his heightened breathing.

"That was... difficult but enjoyable. I'll need help with both Triangle Chokes and maybe shoulder locks.", He responded as he still wanted to improve his defense and speed from where it was at the current moment. That would help with the next stage of his plan to reduce the delay between 'Boxing' and 'Grappling'. He was still within the stage of refining what he was previously taught, given he had no master nowadays save for these fantastic sessions with Lei. Senji didn't particularly have a big problem with either girl yet either. They did not press him emotionally or physically to the point where he hated it. Though, both's teasing still managed to get a reaction out of him. Huan's hugs did feel close to physical nirvana, speaking in hyperbole. Entwining with them both was definitely still fun, helped along by their behavior during it, even if he had ways to go before surpassing both. His main goal was not to be the strongest in this living world, even with that.

Geun returned the gesture but would stay on the ground as Huan sat nearby. "Fair enough, your grasp on how to mix styles could use a polish, also you need to know what kicks are ok to grab and which are not. If you pick wrong, best case scenario is you leave yourself open, worst... well, I believe you had a taste." Huan said, rubbing her neck at the last part since that shouldn't have really happened, still it was probably better here than during a real fight. "Also, you are a southpaw, do not let someone get to the outside on your right, most don't know to do that anyway but it can expose you to both hooks to your right and straights on the inside." She continued after e brief pause, then rolled her shoulders. "That's what I saw so far that could use a touch-up but overall you are doing good. And it is getting late, anything else or are we finishing for the day?"

[TheLoneWanderer]

Huan and Geun had already imprinted on him. A great amount of caution. Kicks and submissionists. They were his style's foils. He knew enough already to have a grasp on the issues he would face with opponents. However, his current set of moves served him well in the past and scrapping everything then rebuilding wouldn't be smart because of his circumstances. Whether that'd bite him or not remained to be seen. Inwardly, he took her points into consideration. Complacency with his progression wouldn't keep his edge sharp, she was helping to make sure he didn't get rusty or fall further behind. Defending from his right, Senji thought as a question to himself. Being more mobile while standing would help him there and it expanded on the reactionary part of his conservativism, right? That way, keeping his legs intact, Senji would be able to keep his opponents on his inside. He put his palms to the mat, pushing back up to his full height as he looked down at the two sitting.

Senji inwardly weighed his options. Indeed, it was late. If he wanted something, he'd limit himself in regards to whatever he chose. He pulled his left hand through his hair, deciding against another round given he was still healing. Despite this decision, Senji did decide to give a proposition to the two if they wanted to consider it. He pointed at Huan and Geun one after the other, indicating he was speaking to both.

"Nah, I should probably be going home much as I like these times with you both. I'll work on escapes and defense with you another time. But, Geun and you---would you want a match with Hiroyuki and I? Being with him was really fun..."

He finalized his statement by stretching both arms into the sky, limbering up the bones as he began to step out of the mats but slowly, out of deliberation, as to listen for their answer. If they agreed, he could kill two birds with one stone and he'd get another shot at taking on Geun officially and test himself against Huan in an regulated match. If not, then no hard feelings.

Geun would sit up and look at Huan. "We never teamed up, did we? That could be fun." Huan thought for a moment. "Yeah, I don't think we did. Though to be honest I'm booked for a while, both matches and helping with the young lioness program now. Though when my schedule clears up a bit I see no reason why he should not do that." She said which drew a sigh from Geun "Right, schedules are a thing and I'm mostly booked as well for a bit, still we should make space for it at some point." She said and they both looked back to Senji

[TheLoneWanderer]

Senji got an answer, receiving a middle-ground for his effort. They were open to the idea, he inwardly repeated to himself. There was also that exercise he agreed with Geun to do when she'd taken him out. They'd get around to it now that he was recalling it. Senji breathed out a long sigh before rotating both shoulders with a swing of the arms. His eyes drifted off to his left to see the lockers where he brought what relevant possessions were needed at the gym.

"Our date's set for later then!", He offered back in a hushed exclamation. Senji winced from the taxed body backfiring as he raised his left arm to give them a thumbs up and the fast sway of a wave. Senji went for the lockers, finally, planning to dress back up in his clothes for the street, leave, and rip down the highway in his coupe car for the outskirts of town...now having new things to reflect on along with ailments to rest from.
