Breaking Out (Reiko and Tia)

[dlamp]

Spoiler

"Hah!" Reiko pulled and twisted at her partner's arm until they were staggering behind her back, then she threw them over their shoulder with a bit of effort, slamming them into the mats. Not as elegant as she was going for, but it did the job and gave her the winning throw. "Ha... ha..." She took a moment to catch her breath, soon helping her partner up to her feet. "Thanks for the match." She said, giving a small bow. Her opponent nodded and walked off, likely looking for another partner.

Sparring in the gym was a different experience for sure. Reiko was so use to the dojo that it felt kind of weird throwing people in the gym, mostly due to the attire. Grant, she looked pretty out of place in her Aikido uniform, but she was also use to being able to latch onto collars and clothing. A lot of the gym patrons were pretty lightly dressed with tight clothing that was hard to grab, and Reiko didn't like going for joint holds and throws since she wasn't too experienced in them. Well, guess that's why I'm training here specifically. With the dojo closed for the month Reiko had to hit the LAW gyms. And while it took a minute for people to move past her attire, they all gave her a decent fight as willing sparring partners. Most folks were pretty welcoming all in all.

But for the moment she decided to rest at the bench, scoping the area for her next sparring partner.

Tia would rarely come to the LAW gym to work out at, but seeing that her gym is closed for renovations at the moment she has to make due with what she has. Even thought she finds the LAW gyms up to par when it comes to training and working out but it is just something she would like to do in her own gym, called it what you want but that her idea and wants.

Coming out of the locker rooms wearing her classic white leotard and headband, much to the onlookers surprise and some even turning into fans coming over to ask the framed Breaker for a autograph or photo of herself. "Maybe some other time please.. I am here to train but you can watch me if you all would like."

Finally getting away from her fans... which is a big shock that she even has fans at this point. Not that she going to complain much about it as she begins to slam her fists into the punching bag. Focused on hitting harder and seeing who going to be facing her next.

"Hm?" Reiko glanced over at the locker rooms, seeing a group of people look and surround a small area near it. At first she just rolled her eyes, assuming some girls were going at it naked or something, but then she started overhearing stuff about autographs and photos. That... got under her skin a little. The hell? She walked over to get a closer look, seeing the group of girls gathered around one of the gym-goers. Reiko rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue. Jeez, it's a gym, not a fan club. She wasn't as strict as the Princess in regards of decorum and manners, but Reiko couldn't but imagine the scolding these girls would get if this happened in a dojo. Still, she was curious to see what all the fuss was about and who exactly this popular woman was. And as she poked out of the crowd... Reiko was a bit shocked.

She was... surprisingly built. Built and just a bit taller than Reiko. And she was going to town on that bag. Reiko was a little enamored by it, and walked over to get a closer look. Boxing and the bag weren't her thing, she was more of a sparring and kata kind of girl, but she could at least learn a bit by watching.

Tia eye twitches from dealing with the rabid fan club she somehow gotten, it's thing to come to a gym and train it another and disrespectful to bother others when they are trying to get better. But this was a annoyance to the highest level and she starts to vent her anger on the punching bag, a loud crackling sound as the bag folds from her brutal kicks and punches land with a loud thud.

Taking a deep breath to center herself before getting into her Hitman style stance. "HAIIII" Letting out a scream as she twists her hips slamming a right hook to the bag putting a lot of power behind the blow. Before she starts to land combinations with the jabs, hook combo punches.

Reiko watched the woman continue to work on the bag with vicious efficiency, practically captivated by what she saw. The woman was moving like those super-aggressive boxers or MMA fighters. The amount of hits and force behind them had the large bag bopping and swaying along, something Reiko knew she herself couldn't do well, if at all given her own physical strength. Every crack and explosive sound from the bag had Reiko entranced. Only the woman's loud kiai bring Reiko back to earth.

"Wow..." Was this the strength of another style? It looked kind of intimidating. I... wouldn't wanna' be on the receiving end of all that.

[The Riders]

Working up a decent sweat deciding to stop for now, taking a small sip of water from her sports bottle while having to listen to the fan's either taking photos or video recording her. "Shouldn't you all be working out or doing something instead of following me around huh.", reaching her boiling point and yelling at them forcing them to leave her alone and continue in peace. Grabbing one of the heavy bag's and slides it into the ring to train with.

Planning to vent more of her anger on the heavy bag, lifting it up and slamming it to canvas with a standard takedown grapple.

Uh-oh, looks like she noticed everyone staring. And though it was brief, the scolding gave Reiko a flash back to the dojo, making her wince at the woman's sharp words. Several of the onlookers immediately dispersed, going to the weights or mats. Reiko herself got off the bench and to moved to mats, deciding to work on kata instead. Not something she liked doing in the gym, but with everyone scattered it'd make finding a sparring partner a little awkward at the moment.

And so she went to practicing her stances, punches, and kicks in a rather rigid sequence.

[The Riders]

Starting to take her aggression out on the bag now, loud thuds are coming from the ring as Tia is slamming it with different tosses and takedowns. Even after she taken the bag down she starts to rain elbow smashes into it, as if she is picturing a opponent trying to block her strikes with no chance of stopping them from landing.

"My fricking day is ruined due to those fans... That it.." smirking at the idea and goes over to the ring ropes leaning against it "So anybody wanna come up and spar with me for a bit..?

[dlamp]

Just as Reiko finished up her first kata she heard the popular lady in question request sparring partners. "Hm," She settled herself in a resting position, glancing around the gym. For the fawning and interesting they showed in getting the woman's attention, very few wanted to actually be face-to-face with her. And... Reiko couldn't blame them. The lady already looked pissed, and after seeing her brutalize the poor bag not too many would be willing to face someone like that even in a light combat situation. Even Reiko shivered a little at the thought of trading blows with her. On one hand she was curious, as she had never fought a boxer-type fighter before and wanted to see if her aikido and karate training could measure up. But on the other... she did not want to take those serious punches and elbows straight on. it was just asking for a trip to Makishima's clinic.

"... ... ..." But her curiosity won out and she approached the ring ropes. "I'm game,"

[The Riders]

Tia glares at what she call cowards who didn't accept her offer for a spar. Seeing the people mostly the ones who just a few minutes earlier was asking for photos and autographs, but now they showed their true colors as weak willed people. All except one a small girl maybe a bit taller then herself by a few inches at best, wearing a aikido uniform but it makes her stand out more among the cowards in the gym.

Hearing her say she wants to makes Tia nod her head stepping back from the ropes, turning to pick up the heavy bag and tosses it out of the ring. Not wanting anything to get in the way of this spar, plus wanting to see what this girl can do and maybe see if she anything worth teaching.

"What is your name?"
