Senji's choke training

[ThatPolishDude]

Huan would see the attempt her student was making and would shift to the side, wrapping her hand around his leg. The frontal approach was good but it was better suited to target the arm which was ironic for a choke. The side position was allowing for a better construction on the neck itself and made her hand pressing down on his head, less vital. Now Huan was watching his body language carefully, That was a tight hold and she didn't want to choke Senji out, if it looked like he wasn't going to get out and wouldn't tap she would release the hold she had.

The force being applied cranked up several notches as his face colored a darker shade than its usual light tone. Senji's vision started to swim but he was still stubbornly refusing to give in. His thoughts were turning to a messy soup. On top of that, the Triangle Choke was sapping away at his resistance. Until finally, he slapped against her thigh three times to get her to release him. If Huan did, then he slowly steadied himself but stayed kneeled over Lei while he was recovering.

He began to massage his neck whilst in her open guard, presumably, but it looked like she didn't bruise it.

Huan unwrapped completely and sat up laying one hand on his shoulder and taking a closer look at his neck, he should be fine but it was always better to check. "You ok? Take a moment to relax and steady your breath, it got pretty tight" She said as she observed him and let him gather himself.
"Any thoughts? What could you have done differently, and what else could have worked? Leg chokes were nasty, much more pressure and putting someone in an awkward position, if they can't get up it's really hard to break. She knew that so she gave him some time before asking that question now that he could have a moment to think calmly.

[TheLoneWanderer]

Senji's thoughts cleared up with a short timespan, and now he was back to normal. Her questions ringed true and so he thought before answering. It had gotten tighter when she hooked his leg so...

"I'm fine but I should've turned towards the side you were on since that would have alleviated the pressure. I believed that targeting the grip with my hand was good since that's one of the weak points of a Triangle.", Came his further elaboration. While talking, he wanted to see what she'd do in a specific position and it was required of him to set them up. If Lei wished to cooperate, then he'd start by crawling towards her front and then positioning himself to where her top half ran the opposite way of his top half in the form of a sprawl. If a visual was needed, it was similar to a back Mount but in the reverse direction as opposed to her being clamped to his rear.

"Do you know how to do an Anaconda Choke? It's similar to a reverse Arm Triangle."

The D'arce and Anaconda chokes were a mainstay in his mental list. They were difficult to get out of and delaying the actual hold was much easier than negating it completely. Again, if Lei didn't know how to do it, then he'd be open towards directing her properly. There was also the option of a Guillotine from here that had a similar set up but without the arm being caught inside her workspace.

"Anaconda choke? Sure, I know it, not my specialty, I prefer the classic guillotine so you will have an easier time here" She said before setting it up with his arm and head trapped and squeezing as she moved her own head and turned so the would both land on their backs with Senji's head on her stomach as she moved further in his direction with her lower body.

Her hold was still solid but to someone trained it would be clear that of the chokes so far it was the weakest one she performed. She clearly preferred holds that gave her more direct control over her opponent's body or were putting more severe pressure from the outset. This one simply took too long to set up properly for Lei's liking, not that it was necessarily slow, just she had little expertise with that particular one.

A muscular forearm, rippling with athleticism wrapped around the front of his throat. He was nestled firmly into her grasp, but he could tell she wasn't used to doing it unlike him. Lei was also particularly cautious on the application. She was being careful in order to apply the hold correctly. He kept his free arm higher up to avoid her being able to catch it with her legs. That was the first basic defense. The inside arm wasn't of much use considering it was within her possession right now.

From Huan's position, she could feel his heart racing as she finished up, most likely. Senji couldn't see much, aside from her abdominals and lower body. He kept his free hand on the bicep of Lei's choking arm, prying against it. It probably wouldn't give but was worth a shot anyway. He tried to back away from Huan with his legs, scooting away from her in order to delay the asphyxiation helped along by the angle she was using. Lei could stop him and further pacify him if she focused on securing him further though. Other than that, her technique was solid as well as the strength.

If Senji couldn't get out, then he'd not tap out this turn as he did when he tried to endure the Triangle Choke from earlier. A strangled noise echoed from his throat, teetering down into a slight whimper while he focused on keeping his body moving.

"Gggrrk?!! Mgghhmmm..."

[ThatPolishDude]

Huan was focused, now more analyzing the situation than just seeing what happens. She would be able to keep up with his turn and continue to apply pressure even if it was slower. She wondered if it would be possible for someone in Senji's position to try and lunch themselves harder to end up parallel to a person in control and turn so as to engage the legs and wor themselves up, she would want to try and do that later, experimenting and improvising was a big part of her style.
While maintaining the hold she would keep an eye on her student, especially after she heard the grunt he made, if there was the slightest hint of him going limp, she would immediately let him go.

[TheLoneWanderer]

Lei was committed, that was assured. She wasn't slow on the uptake at all. Senji was being controlled and followed as he moved, the front-style RNC growing ever more firm. Ok, he could delay her. That was enough. Senji placed his free arm on her supporting arm --- the one where the choking arm's fingers were threaded over the elbow.

After that, Senji endeavored to pull it from behind his head to hopefully make some progress in dislodging the chokehold. At the same time as this, Senji continued crawling with his lower body in a circular motion opposite to hers so that she'd not be able to lock him down easily.

[ThatPolishDude]

That's another reason why she didn't like this choke, it could take ages. Still, she was making progress and it didn't really matter, it was about allowing Senji to learn.

Still, it didn't mean she was going to go easy, his opponents sure wouldn't. She would keep rotating but when he tried to break her grip she would actually let go of the supporting hand. At the same time, she yanked her other hand and tipped her body slightly to pull him further in before locking the other arm back in.

[TheLoneWanderer]

Senji's neck became wrenched towards Huan's space, the head being pulled towards her as well. Since she'd suddenly let go of her choking arm to transition, his free arm went with it and was too slow to stop her from sinking in a deeper hold. As a result, he cut his losses while he still could. Senji's palm found the curled arm and tapped against it twice to indicate he decided to take the option of giving up since he was a second or two away from a K.O. Such symptoms were a reddened face, sluggish movement, the calming of his heart rate, etc.

In regards to the next one, he had a plan for helping her set another one up but it was more in the realm of intending to be a submission rather than a strangle unless Lei were to transition out of the future position.
