Ruby in the rough

[ThatPolishDude]

Alicja knew perfectly well that her landing hits here was more than likely just Ruby letting her do so. Not that she minded that being the case, she was a newbie and she was sure if they were to throw down for real she'd get chewed up like nobody's business so getting some actual practice was nice. Then again, dealing with things going south was also a part of the tread and her friend was making sure she was not forgetting that either.

With a swift getaway move, Ruby successfully got Alicja out of balance. Not being a complete dunce, she knew she was in the perfect position to be attacked and she raised her hands up to her face, just in time as a kick connected with them. For such a small package the girl had quite a punch as Alicja's forearms struck against her head, managing to cousin the blow just enough for it to not be completely debilitating. Still, it sent her to the ground and sliding across the floor before she would try to get up before the follow-up came.

Ruby was hardly ever impressed by the crazy flips and tricks she does in the ring. Most people would be impressed or surprised by it, but Ruby had a feeling that Alicja wasn’t much impressed or surprised. Being able to get out of the throw and counter with her own move. Ruby was sure that this would be a knock out blow, but Alicja was faster than she lets on. Getting her arms up in time to block the kick, still it was enough to blow Alicja back and knock her down.

After knocking Alicja down, she scrambled to get herself up. Ruby was hardly going to let her sparring partner ready up. If Alicja wanted to get in some good ole fashion wrestling. Ruby was going to give Alicja just that, dashing at Alicja full speed and hoping to ram her knee in Alicja’s face. If that worked, Ruby would sprawl herself over Alicja and hook her leg painfully between her own. While locking in a head lock. Essentially locking in Bloody Rose!

Ruby once again was showing her speed when she caught Alicja with a knee to the face, sending her back down to the mat. A small groan escaped her lips as the world seemed to wobble in her vision. She would not be afforded time to get that sorted however as she was soon flipped and locked in a painful submission hold. Alicja if she could be known for one thing though, it was being stubborn and tough on top of that. She's been repeatedly told that stubbornness would end up in her getting injured one day but as one could expect, these words bounced off completely, tapping was just not something she'd do. After e brief moment of panic caused by the pain coursing through her body, her hands would move under her chin, where Ruby had her held. Luckily it was rather easy to access and recalling something about hand grips from training, she would try to dig her fingers under the other girl's and then use her strength to pry them open.

Locking in Bloody Rose, Ruby was sure that this would be the end of the spar. Odds are that Alicja would not know a way to counter this hold. Something Alicja would assuredly learn with more experience. With Bloody Rose, if enough pressure was applied, Ruby could feasibly break a leg. Some she and Alicja was probably feeling as Alicja’s leg was being contorted dangerously. This being a spar, Ruby didn’t want to do major damage. Let along a new friend she just made. Still Alicja was proving to be dangerously stubborn. Once again trying to muscle her way out the situation.

Alicja must’ve been feeling the pain, not to mention the danger of a hold like this being held too long. Alicja was trying to get out with her power. Ruby simply countered by jostling recklessly from side to side. Making maintaining the grip much harder than it normally was. Still even with this Alicja was not letting go. (Does she want to get hurt? During a spar of all things?) Ruby thought to herself. Alicja said she was rather new to wrestling, but Ruby felt like Alicja should be able to separate a match and a spar.

Seeing as how Alicja was willing to be knocked out or get a broken leg as opposed to tapping out. Ruby released the hold and let out a big sigh. Rolling onto her side then back. Learn when to tap will ya? You can’t get better with a broken leg or something. Ruby chuckled as she got back up and essentially ended the spar.

Alicja could swear she had a grip, the Ruby started to shake and it was gone, in this way getting a proper hold was hard but she was still trying. At a certain point, she figured that trying to keep Ruby's hands steady first would probably help her efforts but just then, her face fell flat onto the mat as the hold was released. She was a bit confused but also happy for the pain to start slowly leaving her body, and then she heard Ruby.

"Come on, I knew you wouldn't do me dirty like that in a spar." She said turning to the side and trying to steady her breath. After a moment of that she continued. "Besides, I need to learn how to get out of this kind of holds, don't I? At least tell me if I was on the right track." She said before falling to her back and laughing a bit. "Damn, I got my ass whooped and you weren't even trying, I think I'm done for today."

Ruby who was on her feet by now went to get a nearby bottle of water. Opening it up before taking a sip. Ruby would let Alicja recover a bit before they continued their conversation. True, but what happens in a real match? Gonna lose with a broken leg? But hey at least you have some “honor” people brag about. Learning when to fold isn’t a bad thing. Ruby said bluntly, admittedly showing off some of her teaching qualities.

Hard to say, you want to muscle out of everything. Sure that might work on me for now but what happens when someone stronger than you uses a hold like that. Try to think outside the box and what open your mind on what you can do. Ruby said as a counter though not completely shutting down Alicja in her thinking. Now leaning on the ropes Ruby was nearly done fixing her breathing. All the while Alicja was talking about getting her butt whooped. And I was getting my butt whooped by lifeless weights, everyone has to start somewhere Ruby said as she rolled out of the ring as Alicja said she was done.

"You have a point..." She said, sitting up. "Ok, but it's your move, what could I have done other than try to pry your hands? I mean, I was stuck, my leg trapped, and even if an elbow could reach you it would do fuck all wouldn't it?" She replied, then paused. "I mean I have most people around her on strength, but I get what you mean, though if I run into someone stronger now I'm double fucked, that's the only thing I got going." Then hearing the part about the weights she would stand up and walk to lean over the ropes with a slight chuckle. "Fair but you can just pick smaller ones, I don't pick who they put me up against. And it was just me that saw that, there will be thousands looking out in the ring."

Well think about it, trying to muscle out of that hold. You are going against my body weight and leverage on you. So you are going way beyond what you should be doing. Think smarter, go for a rope break, because at that point I have to choose between keeping you still or keeping the hold. Ruby said as a way to expand Alicja’s way of thinking. Thankfully Alicja was able to take some verbal jabs and run with them.

See? You are telling me to not be so stubborn with the big weights. Flip that right back on you heh Ruby said as she finished with a slight chuckle. Craning her neck though Ruby felt tired and sore from her workout and impromptu workout. Stilling putting out her hand for a handshake. End it here? Safe to say were are friends here. I’m gonna be bothering you more for workouts

"I suppose it could have worked, we were near the ropes after all but it ain't going to solve a problem if I get locked in a middle." She said, finally feeling like most of the pain passed out of her body, she knew it would definitely come back at least a bit tomorrow but she was used to it at this point. "Hit me up any time, as you saw, I'm gonna need your help too." She said, sliding under the ropes and accepting the handshake only to pull Ruby into a tight hug right after.
