Beachside Training 2 Electric Boogaloo (for Deez)

[Bare]

Niko had managed a heavy knockdown on Lei and the pinkette sensed a golden opportunity against the older woman. Hence she wasted no time leaping up and aiming to go for a but drop that could be a prelude to one of her infamous finishers against the martial arts master. However Lei perhaps wasn't as out of it as Niko had expected.

"Eep!" Niko cried out as she was caught by Lei's legs and pushed down towards the sand, grunting softly as she landed. Followed by Lei manipulating her legs to snake around Niko's arm! 'Shit not good!' Niko thought to herself, her free arm immediately coming up to grab hold of her now caught hand, trying to keep the arm bar from being fully locked in while she thought of a way to escape this!

When Lei attempted to apply her Armbar, Niko met it with one of the generally correct methods to try and deal with such a move. That being, using her other arm to try to pull her threatened arm away in an attempt to prevent the Armbar from ever getting locked in in the first place. Considering how dangerous an Armbar could be, going for prevention over cure was certainly a solid plan.

There was one catch to Niko's defense, however. One which Lei was well aware of. Trying to defend an Armbar like this turned things into a test of strength. If Lei could pry Niko's grip apart with her pull, then the Armbar was locked. And things certainly still favored the shifu, since Lei had a lot less to lose if this didn't quite go her way. So she was more than happy to keep pulling in pursuit of overpowering Niko.

Niko grunted and groaned softly as she struggled to hold onto her hand in order to prevent Lei's arm bar from taking full effect on her. 'Damn.. She's strong.' Niko thought to herself knowing full she couldn't keep this up for long. But if anyone could think of a way out of this it was her.

Gritting her teeth Niko would turn over, trying to get her legs under her, pushing her feet into the sand and kicking repeatedly, trying to push against Hilda's legs and fold her opponent up as she did so which, in a normal match would result in a pin fall being counted on her opponent.

In this case however that wasn't what Niko was aiming to do, instead trying to use her own locked hands and the looseness of the sand to try and twist Lei's hips and turn the woman's body over in the sand so that she was on her stomach which would in turn hopefully force her caught hand free from Lei's grip and in turn allow Niko an opportunity to grab onto Lei's leg and lean back onto Lei's body, trying to reverse into a single leg Boston crab!

Lei wasn't especially strong. Rather she usually generated her power from her far greater speed. But by no means was the kung fu master physically weak. Neither was Niko, to be fair, but Lei was confident that she could overcome the pinkette on pure power alone. Niko seemed to come to a similar result, however, and soon was trying something to break the deadlock.

Lei found herself getting rolled up on and rolled over, disrupting her just enough that Niko was able to yank free of the attempted Armbar. Worse still, Niko rolled back on top, grabbed Lei's leg, and put her into a Boston Crab. "Augh!" she groaned as she started swinging her free leg up, trying to hook it around Niko somewhere to pull her off.

Strangely, Tiki walked into Lei's line of sight, and started dragging her foot back and forth in the sand at someth- The edge! Lei realized. Tiki was reminding her about rope breaks, and that the circle drawn in the sand was acting as that here. Lei certainly wasn't proud of forgetting that, but that's exactly what spars like this were for. Getting used to the transition from kung fu to wrestling. Eager for freedom, Lei started dragging herself towards Tiki and the edge of the ring.

Needless to say but Lei's arm bar was brutally effective and painful, making the girl cry out in pain and forcing her to double down in trying to find a way out which... She most certainly did. In fact not only did Niko manage to find her way out of the arm bar in and of itself but she also managed to find a way into flipping the tables all together! Managing to catch Lei's legs and turn her over into a single legged boston crab Niko would smile as she pulled, but made sure to bat and knock away the older woman's leg as it swung near her.

Though as she looked over her shoulder Niko saw Tiki reminding the woman of the 'edge' that acted as their ropes. 'Dumb tiki.' Niko thought to herself slightly annoyed before smirking. Well fine. If Lei would go for a rope break then Niko would make her work for it. Tucking Lei's leg in a bit higher Niko would push her feet against the sand and lean backwards as much as possible, trying to inflict the maximum amount of pain she could!

Tiki saw that Niko noticed what she had done to help out Lei. She just stuck her tongue out at her student before stepping out of Lei's path. If nothing else, if the shifu ever needed to escape with a rope break again after this, Tiki would make her remember it herself. Lei shouldn't exactly be somebody who needs their hand held, after all.

As for Lei, she felt her trapped leg be shifted by Niko, and then the pain running through it surge in intensity. "Aagh!" she cried out. But it was more so just the spike eliciting a reaction. Once that had passed, Lei was able to power through, crawling with her chest dragging through the sand until her hand crossed the edge of the ring. "I'm there!" she called.

"That you did," Tiki said. "Let her go, Niko."
