A Lightweight Encounter (For Noob)

[CaptainL]

Julia might not have been taking this sparring session too seriously, but for Yuki it was a different story. While she might have been a friendly girl at heart, she had great pride in what she did, and she was training all the time - even if she wasn't in the ring, she would still be putting her heart and soul into everything she did. This was her life, and she couldn't let up on any part of it. So even now, she was going at Julia hard. And so she would throw her legs around Julia's waist, trying to hold her down with a scissor hold.

But what Julia would do next was a surprise for Yuki - it certainly wasn't a tactic that was orthodox in wrestling, but it was effective nonetheless. As Julia pressed Yuki's head into her chest, she would feel the girl's cheeks light up hot and bright with an even harder blush from the close contact, as she muttered a muffled groan of surprise. Yuki started to struggle against the position in the hopes of getting free, but would only end up pressing her face closer against Julia's bust. She would also begin to release the pressure on her legs, both in response to the threat and from her weakening strength as well as her wandering mind. She wouldn't let go just yet, but it was certainly something Julia wouldn't have much trouble freeing herself from.

Julia was hoping to give Yuki a bit of a surprise but she didn't expect her tactic to be nearly as effective as it turned out to be. It appeared the bluenette had found a weakness. Quickly Julia would try to wiggle out from between her sparring partner's legs. She'd release Yuki and focus more now on prying the woman's legs off of her. While she now had ample time to scramble away and back to her feet, the gymnast actually felt a lot more comfortable keeping the fight grounded and once free would quickly try to shift back to offence.

With her hands unoccupied, Julia would make a grab for Yuki's shoulders and try to turn her sparring partner face down before pressing her shoulders down. If she wasn't met with enough resistance, she'd rather swiftly hop onto Yuki's back and try to seat herself upon the woman's shoulders. Despite possibly finding a comfortable position she was still a lightweight, even if just barely, and wasn't exactly able to exert too much force down. She just hoped it was enough to keep Yuki in place long enough for a follow up.

Without her full focus being on keeping up the hold, Yuki wouldn't be that hard to dislodge from her opponent. Her mind was only halfway there, and where her legs were locked was mostly a formality. With Julia's efforts, Yuki fell back, rolling off of her onto the mat, where she landed on her back staring up at the ceiling and panting to try and catch her breath long enough to recenter herself. Afterwards, Yuki would roll herself back on her side, preparing to get up...only for Julia to be on her again, shoving her onto her face! Yuki began to realize that Julia was looking to play cat and mouse with her, sparing her energy for when she could best use it to get her opponent into a tricky position.

With Yuki downed, Julia's next move would be to hop on top of her back, putting her weight down on her shoulders. With the extra burden added, Yuki was pushed further into the mat, her face pressed into the canvas enough to muffle the gasp she made from the sensation. However, Yuki wasn't willing to take this lying down, even if she was, in fact, lying down. Sure that Julia would have something devious in store from a position like this, she tried to twist herself back and forth while bucking and bridging, hoping she could help counteract the pressure.

[Noob]

After pouncing atop her sparring buddy, Julia settled into a position atop the woman's back. The bluenette raised her hands and slapped them down against Yuki's rear. It was a light slap but enough for the sound to echo a little bit. "Ok! What to do with you now." She said with excitement as she planned her next move. Before long she was already grabbing Yuki's leg and had begun to pull it back. One way or another she was going to stretch the other wrestler out. The task was just becoming more difficult than she would have liked. "Got it! You'll love this one." The bluenette giggled.

Unfortunately Julia's plans would not come to fruition. She had just managed to stretch her sparring partner when Yuki's bucking and twisting threw her off balance. "Ugh hey come on. Stop that. I'm in the middle of something." Julia laughed as she was jostled off to the side. She quickly scrambled to her feet and took a few steps back. This time she'd let Yuki have some room to get up and recompose herself. "Alright fine. We'll take it from the top!" The gymnast declared as if this was her plan all along.

[CaptainL]

Julia may have put a greater burden on Yuki's shoulders - in a rather literal sense - but Yuki was still determined to not let this slow her down. Clenching her teeth with determination, she tried to raise herself up, twisting back and forth to try and shake herself free. But it was a different story when Julia's palm found itself making impact solidly across her rear end. "Eep-!" she cried out in surprise, her struggles starting to go quieter in the process. It seemed like she would be getting a perfectly good demonstration of what she could expect to see from Julia.

With Yuki sufficiently dizzied, Julia would start to ensnare her leg, taunting her about it in the process. One again, Yuki's resistance was emboldened, and Julia's tactics played no small part in making the rookie want to fight back, either. "Enough-!" she called out, managing to throw her sparring partner off. From there she would roll away to put some distance between the two before she began to get up to her feet. Yuki brushed her hair away from her eyes, letting out a breath as she stared Julia down from across the ring.

"In a real match, your opponents won't wait for you!" she said. While the conviction in her voice was real, Yuki did acknowledge the humor Julia had intended, and she winked to her. But while Julia was playing around, Yuki saw no reason to take this any less seriously than she would any match, if she wanted the skills she trained to be of any use in a real situation. But in fact, Julia did give her an idea...

"From the top, you say?" With a smirk at her own pun, Yuki would try to somersault herself back further to get to the ropes, catching hold of them, before she would go to swing herself up to the top rope to plan her next move.

[Noob]

Julia couldn't help but laugh at her sparring partner's comments. "I know that ya dummy. It's called joking. Goshhhhhh~" The bluenette said with a heavy roll of her eyes. It had probably become pretty clear to Yuki however that Julia wasn't quite taking this as serious as she would a real match, not that she'd take that incredibly serious to begin with. The gymnast really just saw this as an opportunity to have some fun and try out some moves after having taken a bit of a break from fighting.

Watching Yuki make an elegant trip to the top of the ropes, Julia would give her a few claps in response. "Pretty good pretty good!" She said with a smile. She'd take a few steps back from the ropes though since she didn't want to really give Yuki a chance to jump from them and hit her. "Buuuuut...what are you gonna do from up there huh? I'm down here!" Julia teased before sticking her tongue out. She wasn't sure what Yuki was planning but she was certainly curious to find out. Not curious enough to approach her though as a large impact could always spell trouble for her.

[CaptainL]

The contrast in the two womens' attitudes would never be more apparent than it was here. Yuki was business as always, silently and calmly mounting the ropes as she prepared to launch her next assault from a comfortable position of power, while Julia was joking around in her casual demeanor, even now. As she started to center her balance atop the top rope to fully balance her posture, she looked over to where her sparring partner was standing in the ring, taunting her.

There was no question about what a high-flyer like Yuki meant to do from a position like this, but she knew that Julia knew that as well. But that didn't mean that Yuki was a stranger to playing along with it, even when she would look back at her with the same flat and focused expression she made whenever she could keep her cool. She would simply answer Julia with one word: "This." To which she would hurl herself from the rope to try and catch Julia's head between her legs to throw her down with a hurricanrana!

[Noob]

By the time Yuki had fully climbed the ropes, Julia had already been on her feet and watching her for a few moments. She gave her sparring partner a confused look. After all, there was no way she thought she could still land her move like this. Yuki seemed determined to show the gymnast her skills though and soon launched herself off the ropes. Unfortunately for her, the bluenette was far from being taken by surprise. "Noooooo thank you!!!!" Julia yelled as Yuki flew towards her. While she still had to time things right, it didn't take much effort for Julia to move herself a foot back and to the side, leaving her partner to come crashing down beside her.

Julia couldn't help but react with a sympathetic cringe. This was one of the reason she never really tried any acrobatic in the ring. "Why'd ya do thaaaat? I knew you were coming!" Julia scolded. Now she had to teach Yuki a lesson though and would slip behind her and wrap her arms around the other wrestler's neck. She'd give a light squeeze while trying to maneuver the other woman into a seated position. "Now this is what ya get for being a big dummy." The bluenette teased as she went to work at attempting to limit Yuki's air.

[CaptainL]

Yuki thought she had this planned out. In her head, it was foolproof. By taking to the air, she thought she would be able to play to her specialties and corner Julia with a new direction that she hadn't had a chance to use much of to this point. Julia might not be expecting it, and it would draw on what she was good at. It might be just what she needed!

But, in setting things up, Yuki had forgotten one important thing. Julia could see her, and she could figure out what she was doing. And if Julia could anticipate her moves...then she wouldn't have much trouble getting out of the way. Yuki fell right on her face, hitting only the mat as she landed with a yelp of surprise. She rolled onto her side, groaning under her breath and clutching her sore body to try and dull the pain. "I...thought it would work," came Yuki's meek response. If nothing else, this was teaching Yuki she was setting her up for trouble if she charged in ahead to all her matches expecting all her attacks to land; she would be sure to avoid that in the future if she could.

Right now, though, Yuki was vulnerable - and Julia wouldn't be giving her the chance to recover. She was quick to go for Yuki's throat, pulling back her head as she held down with a choke! Yuki started to gag and cough, but she would try to resist as much as she could, raising her hands to try and grasp Julia's arm and pull free.

[Noob]

Julia took advantage of her situation and managed to get behind Yuki, wrapping her arms around the woman's neck and squeezing. She wouldn't go too hard though, opting more to cause discomfort than actually choke her sparring partner. That didn't stop Yuki from struggling to get free though. Hoping to stop her attempt, Julia would lean back so that Yuki's head was resting right above her chest. Once again she would try to snake her legs around the other woman's so that she could both choke her and stretch her out. "Alright! Got you! Now tell me what I should call this one and I'll take it as a tap out." The bluenette teased.

Despite Julia's teasing though she was having a hard time controlling Yuki. The woman was flailing about and the gymnast didn't quite have the strength to keep her in place. As Yuki tried to pry the arms off of her neck, it began to work. With one hand now pulled off Julia would try to reapply the hold with just one arm around Yuki's neck. "Nope! Not gonna work. Gotta tap!" Julia would say into her partner's ear. She wasn't quite sure how long she could keep things up but she was hoping with a little more pressure applied to the other woman's neck she could coax a quick submission out of her.
