A thounderous training

[ThatPolishDude]

Kate managed to make some way but then she found a stone wall on her way. Alaina wasn't really trying to push her, just not letting her advance or pull that same trick again. Kate wasn't sure if she was testing her endurance or ingenuity but she would settle on the latter. Changing her grip to a double underhooks and getting her stance lower with her shoulder being the point of contact with the other woman's sternum. In that way she could push from below, activating more muscles through her body while limiting the effective ways to keep her at bay. She knew she could squat twice Alaina's own weight so she hoped that getting into a stance like this would also let her push back.

Alaina felt the shift in grip and she shook her head stumbling back a couple slow steps before she grunted and groaned halting the advance! Alaina grit her teeth wanting to push back on Kate. She felt a bit embarrassed that she was forced back like that, she never had been when doing this training so she wanted to try to save some face and brute force Kate back even in this grip by going low and side stance with her feet hoping pure strength would do it.

"Thirty more seconds, then we change gears. Give it your best." Alaina said as she exerted herself.

Kate surprised herself by gaining some ground now, of course, if she would that would be the way to do it but she honestly expected not to get as far as she did. Of course, Alaina would manage to stop her but managing what she did was already more than she ever expected. Then she heard Alaina speak that they would do one las push and though she wanted to give more into it, there was no more she could give. Still, she would put up a valiant effort in resisting the Amazon, only backing up slowly, still over the course of 30 seconds she would nearly end up at the ropes, yet she was more than pleased with her performance even as she struggled to catch her breath.

The exercise had ended and now it was time to move on to something else. "All right I think I need to do the same to Tina and then after that we can do something else." Alaina said as she began to grapple with Tina and do the same thing she had just done with Kate. After a few minutes their exercise had ended and Alaina was standing there looking around trying to figure out what could be next.

Tina knew she couldn't match Kate's power. Still watching the newcomer do better than she ever could against Alaina in that exercise had left her feeling... well, her pride hurt a bit. Tina stepped to the middle of the ring. "I want a shot at Kate, I want to see why everything thinks she is so hot." Tina said knowing that people said the same exact thing about her when she started.

[ThatPolishDude]

Kate took a moment to catch her breath as the other woman trained before she heard Tina. She blinked a few times in disbelief. "I... Ummmm... I mean... I don't t-think I would be much of a challenge for you..." She stuttered shyly but still got in the ring. She didn't expect to last long in actual sparring with a former champion but she would give it her best shot.

Tina eyed Kate and wasn't sure what to think. The way things had gone for Tina lately she felt like this could just be false modesty, and Tina could be walking in to a trap. "If you say so..." Tina replied. The tigress was ready and once both women were ready with Alaina watching Tina would move in to grapple with the larger woman but she would fall backward and stick her foot up to monkey flip Kate over as she fell backward hoping to send Kate crashing to the canvas!

[ThatPolishDude]

Kate's body language betrayed that she in fact expected Tina to make short work of her. Her statement wasn't so much out of modesty as a genuine belief that paired against a woman like the Tigress she would have no chance.

Still, that belief never stopped her from trying her best before, and now was no different. Engaging the grapple, she knew it had to be a trap but before she figured what it was exactly she was already sailing through the air. She rounded her back to take some of the force off of the throw and roll first to sitting then to her feet and running to the ropes. There she would bounce, hoping to catch Tina with a lariat as she was rising up again.

Tina was in shock as she got up only to see that Kate had just rolled with he throw and was running at her. Before the smaller, presumably faster... although that didn't seem to be the case here and now... Tina was absolutely leveled and sent crashing down to the mat on her back by the lariat! She groaned and cradled her head, laid out and unable to do much of anything about it at the moment.

Kate expected her attack to miss completely so when it actually landed she was a bit confused 'How did I do that?' She thought to herself, settling on luck as the explanation. Not being the one to look a gift horse in the mouth she would try to carry forth from there. Grabbing one of Tina's legs and wrapping her own around it, putting the woman's foot under her armpit before twisting her upper and lower body in opposite directions to attempt to lock a heel hook.

[Highfly]

Tina groaned as her leg was now being twisted and bent, the pain from the lariat fading a bit while the jolt of the hold quickly settled in! She thrashed about and bucked, trying to kick with her free leg at Kate as much as she could or sit up and aim punches at Kates leg trying to smash her way to freedom!
