The Real Training Session

[deezcastforms]

When Tiki broke through Niko's Full Nelson, she had been expecting to see pink hair to one side of her. But instead her student had shifted her head straight back. It was how Tiki would have done it, but it got Niko out of range of the teacher's head. So who would Tiki be to criticize? It worked. Tiki's busty student had completed step one, now it was time for the follow up.

Niko managed to get her arms around Tiki's throat in time. Cut it a bit close for Tiki's liking, but Niko did it. She'd only get faster with practice anyhow, so the teacher wouldn't complain once she was out of Niko's chokehold and could speak properly again. Personally, Tiki would have gone for a Dragon Sleeper rather than a Rear Naked Choke, but like with the head shift in the Full Nelson, that was down to preference more than anything. And when one considered the... running theme of Tiki's special and finishing moves, the veteran was most certainly biased.

Tiki would not tap once Niko had laid back and fully locked in her hold. It was well done, but Tiki wanted to continue the exercise. After all, just because Niko succeeded once didn't mean opponent's wouldn't keep trying to escape. Tiki couldn't quite articulate her intent while her student held a rather tight chokehold on her throat, so the instruction made a "keep it rolling" gesture with her hand, and hoped Niko would discern her meaning before she started trying to fight back.

To escape, Tiki would first plant her feet and bridge. Then she would push off the floor with her legs and arms while twisting her body in an attempt to roll onto her stomach. If she did, then Tiki would get on her hands and knees to try to stand. She certainly had enough strength to get up even with her student on her back. Lastly, if Niko had yet to do anything to stop her, Tiki would grab onto the pinkette's arms and jump backwards, attempting to land on Niko with all her weight. Then on impact, Tiki would try to rip Niko's arms off of her throat in one swift motion, using the force of the fallen to loosen the student's grip enough to break it completely. If Niko managed to endure this and maintain her chokehold, or otherwise prevent Tiki from escaping, either through shutting down Tiki's attempt at an earlier point or transitioning to lock the veteran into something else, Tiki would then tap out to call an end to the exercise.

Success! Despite some apprehension on her part Niko was able to successfully lock her mentor in a tight choke hold, squeezing the life out of Niko along with an additional body scissors on top of anything that made Niko smile softly at her own success. However Nio was starting to wonder what was up with Tiki and when the woman would tap or otherwise signal Niko to let go of her hold. Soon enough though Niko would get her answer when the woman would use her hand to signal to her that they were gonna keep going, something that made Niko blink in surprise but she would nod to herself. Trying to keep herself ready for the challenge that was about to come.


'I got this.' Niko thought to herself softly before grunting softly once Tiki bucked and turned them both over, Tiki getting her arms and legs under her, no doubt too start getting to her feet! 'Oh no I can't let that happen!' Niko thought to herself panicking for a second since Tiki was already starting to stand up! 'Shoot!' Niko thought to herself as she desperately tried to think of something that could work in preventing Tiki from fully countering her!

'She's probably gonna try and spike me against the corner or mat so.. I need to get get off her back!' Niko thought to herself desperately as she undid her bodyscissors from Tiki's waist and tried to desperately pull herself up and over the woman's head with the grip she had from around her neck, almost like a monkey trying to scramble over a tree.

Ironically enough however Tiki falling back in a move to hurt Niko would actually help her. The sudden shift in momentum was what Niko needed along with her pulling on Tiki's neck to pull herself up and over the woman, the fall actually causing Niko to flip over the woman! If this somehow worked the way Niko thought it might, then hopefully Tiki would land on her back with Niko not squashed under her, but with the girl managing to instead land right on top of the woman's face for a face sitting smother!

Tiki got to her feet a bit quicker and easier than she would've liked Niko to allow. The instructor couldn't see the look on her pupil's face, but Tiki was very confident that Niko was frozen by uncertainty and a simple lack of knowledge on what to do here. Once Tiki was on her feet, Niko released her bodyscissors. Good, thought Tiki. Not clinging onto the scissor was definitely the right play. It'd free Niko up to get her feet back on the ground, where she could grab Tiki for a suplex or take out her teacher's legs.

Not in the absolute slightest was Tiki expecting Niko to start climbing her. What in the bugger is she doing? thought Tiki as she began her fall backwards. Had the veteran committed to falling back down a moment sooner, she'd have just grabbed Niko and thrown her off. But Tiki was already far enough to the floor that she had no means to regain her balance. Especially with an extra 100+ pounds riding on top of her.

As Tiki fell backwards, Niko completed her climb forwards. They were both still falling, but now there was a clear, key difference. Niko would now be the one landing on top. Not just that, but the student's peach round buttcheeks were currently casting a shadow over Tiki's face. And the teacher had no way to get out before impact with the floor got Tiki's face squashed beneath Niko's butt.

Once it was done, Tiki just... laid there for a bit. Niko's soft, sweaty butt in her face and all. The veteran was not moving, just processing what just happened. Eventually she raised her hand up the Niko's hip and tapped. Once she was again free to speak, Tiki would certainly have words for Niko. "Niko, you literally just fell ass backwards into success," Tiki said, unable to help but smile at her student.

"First things first, getting the chokehold was done beautifully. No complaints there," said Tiki. "Once you got it though, you clearly struggled on figuring out what to do. That makes sense though, considering you didn't know the Rear Naked Choke as well as you did the Full Nelson. What I'd recommend is that while you're still on the ground, once I get face down, release the scissor, plant a foot on the mat, and try to pull me back over so that we're on our backs again. Then relock the scissor."

Once I got standing though," continued Tiki as she began to chuckle. "Really the smart move is just to release the scissor and go to a standing position. Either drop your grip down to my waist and suplex me, or pull my out from under. But I do think climbing up is a legitimate option. Though I also think it would've been better to just start pounding my head with your fists once you got high up enough, and then using your position and weight to control my fall."

Tiki paused a moment, as she gathered a new thought. "Actually, I think... if you hit me in the head and started to make me fall, instead of going all the way over the top, you could probably just go around my head over my shoulder if you pulled your legs up high enough. Managing to end up turning that position into landing into a Facesit is definitely the most 'Niko' way to handle that I can think of. But I think if you do it like I just said, then you'd be able to do it a lot more reliably, and with a lot more control than what you just did. Though to be completely fair, I'm just theorizing in my mind. I really have no idea how well that would actually work."

Niko literally had no idea how she did it. Like literally no idea, but somehow she had managed to climb over her mentors body from where she was and managed to avoid the woman's drop while also managing to fall down ass first on Tiki's face! Admittedly that wasn't exactly what Niko had in mind, but it was more than good enough in the pink haired girl's opinion. All that mattered was that, technically speaking she had passed the exercise, albeit barely, but it would all but be confirmed once Tiki tapped her hand against Niko's thigh.

"Yeah!" Niko cheered, hopping off Tiki's face and jumping around while fist bumping, her chest bouncing up and down heavily as she did so before calming down just as her teacher got to her feet. Smiling at Tiki the girl would wait as the woman began breaking things down, first complimenting Niko's choke, something that made her smile happily as she heard it.

Naturally though it was obvious Niko had a bit of trouble this time around and Tiki would start to explain what Niko could have done better. The initial idea on what she could have done to maintain her position making Niko facepalm. "Ugh figures." Niko said to herself before focusing again as TIki continued to break down what she could have done better, before starting to mutter and theorize about that last few moments with the face sit.

"Sooo in other words what I did was fine, just not very reliable, so I should try and focus on acting earlier for more safe options?' Niko asked, trying to put things together in the most sensible way she could... and in the process saying possibly the smartest thing she had uttered since stepping foot into LAW.

[deezcastforms]

"Well yes and no," Tiki answered to her pupil's question. "You have the idea right, put not quite the application. The reliability and safety of any option you choose to take in a match is incredibly important, yes. But acting early will not always achieve this. This may be an extreme example, but if that was how it worked, wrestling would be nothing more than who could outspeed the other."

"It largely comes down to a matter of positioning," explained Tiki. "Getting a stronger position will naturally set you up for safer, more reliable options. In that example, moving earlier was better because in the beginning I was on the ground and you were on top of me. But later when you did go, I was standing and you were hanging onto me. The former is obviously a much more advantageous position, so it's where you're going to want to try to act from. Wait as long as possible, or go as soon as you can, or anything in between. It's all a matter of picking the right spot from where you have an advantage to strike."

"To put this in its most basic form, think about having one opponent who's back is turned to you, and another who's facing you head on," said Tiki. "You'll always want to attack the one who isn't facing you, because you have a much more advantageous position. The person facing away from you can't see you, and they have a much smaller range of motion behind them. You have a strong position to attack from, so you're attack is much more likely to be safe and successful."

"Alright. So I've shown you how to get the advantage, and how to keep the advantage once you have it," said Tiki. "Let's move onto how to make the most out of an advantage. Let's set up a scenario," Tiki moved up to Niko and got down on her back, her head and shoulders just barely raised off of the floor. "It's the end of a match that you've had good control over. You've just thrown me to the ground. I'm tired, I've taken solid damage all over, you're still relatively fresh. Finish me off. Pin, KO, submission, you can do it in one attack, or set up a series of moves to get the job done. You have free reign. Just put a won match away."

Hearing Tiki explain things further beyond Niko's initial oversimplification the girl would nod. Too be honest she would need clarification later on, the surplus of information being a lot for her to take in if she was being honest. But she didn't want to slow down the training session so she would nod attentively, taking everything in as best as she could.

Eventually though it would be time to move onto their next exercise, this one being almost solely on Niko as far as what she did. As Tiki got on her back and explained the scenario to her making her nod, albeit a bit nervously. 'All right, what would I do hmm.' Niko got to herself as she stood up before looking over her shoulder at the corner and grinning slightly as she immediately ran to it and began climbing up till she was at the top.

Looking back over towards Tiki the pinkette would take a deep breath before leaping forward, trying to fly through the air to come down with a massive but drop on Tiki's chest! If it connected though Niko wouldn't go for a pin, rather she was hoping it would stop any possible resistance Tiki might pull if this were a legit match. Instead Niko would look to grab Tiki by the hair and pull her up into a seated position while scooting back on the woman's legs.

If she managed to do this successfully than Niko would then go to try and hook Tiki's arm before lifting her legs up and throwing them over Tiki's shoulders, bending her arms in a way that was almost like a reverse nelson while pressing Tiki's face into Niko's groin, all while Niko's legs would go down, her feet hooking on TIki's legs to keep them locked in place to prevent escaping!

[deezcastforms]

"Tired and taken solid damage all over" wasn't quite what Tiki would personally interpret as a greenlight to climb the ropes for an aerial drop. But the teacher didn't actually specify that it was off the table, though Tiki was really wishing that she had. Because she really did not want to let Niko crash on top of her like the Lightweight was setting up to do, considering it was probably the single most painful option Niko had if Tiki let it hit.

Tiki decided she would let Niko go. After all, Tiki wanted this to be as positive a first training experience for her student as possible, since that was what would get her invested. Tiki had four months more to tighten things up if she needed to. Though the teacher honestly wasn't sure if she would with how well things were going right now. Niko took off from her perch. It was just a wait for the impact now.

"GUAH!" Tiki wheezed as Niko's plump rump caved the teacher's chest in. The second thing Tiki noticed was that Niko led with her butt. The veteran considered leading with the feet, knees, or as Niko did, the butt were the three acceptable options for an aerial drop. Had Niko led with her elbow or her body as a whole, there'd have been stern words. But since Niko picked a good option, all Tiki would have to do was reinforce a good habit with praise once this drill was over.

Niko next decided to follow up her aerial with a submission instead of a pin attempt. Tiki was fine with that decision, provided her student was able to back up that decision with an effective hold. What Niko went with, wasn't something that Tiki had seen before, admittedly. It was some kind of Inverted Full Nelson Crotch Smother. Now Tiki had to test the move, holding back her strength a little to simulate fatigue.

The hold proved sturdy. Niko had Tiki's arms secured directly with her own with aid from her legs, and the veteran's legs were locked out courtesy of the wide angle they were positioned at, Niko forcing Tiki's hips forward with her move to make that angle very uncomfortable as well as heavily reducing her legs' range of motion, and finally the positioning of Niko's own feet locked any mobility her teacher's legs still had. Finally, Niko kept Tiki's head down in place with her hands and body both contributing somewhat to the effort.

Tiki was ready to submit and call an end to the exercise, but she found that she couldn't. Her hands were up far enough in the air that there wasn't anything to actually tap on, and any verbal submission was muffled by Niko's crotch. It was a damp, warm, soft, and sweaty position, lodged in between the Lightweight's legs, and not somewhere she wanted to stay. Tiki really did not want to end up getting smothered out by this because Niko assumed this drill would be to Tiki's escape or submission.

Tiki stopped holding back, and fought to escape with all her strength, but Niko's hold still continued to hold. Beyond just the butt drop, Tiki had volunteered herself to be Niko's practice dummy for all these exercises. She had been genuinely worn down, seemingly to the point where she might not be able to escape. Tiki's arms were into too weak a position to overpower Niko's to pull free, with the same applying to her and her student's legs. And Tiki couldn't pull her head free from her sweaty prison either. Oh God, I'm actually trapped, she thought. Tiki began to simply trash, while screaming into Niko's groin for the Lightweight to let her go. Hoping she'd either manage to bust free, or that Niko would let up. Tiki also started to pray that her instructs to "Finish the job" would compel Niko to hold this until the teacher stopped moving.

[Bare]

In all honesty Niko had no idea what possessed her to try this move in particular. But she figured in a situation like this it may be best to go for something that tied up the arms of the opponent while being out of reach of their legs, that way there was no sure way to fight back. In this case... it helped that Niko would also get to make use of her smothering skills as well by pushing her crotch right against Tiki's face! Giggling softly as she felt Tiki struggle Niko idly wondered how long it would take the woman ot break free from her current predicament.

After all it was Tiki after all, why wouldn't she be able to? That was Niko's line of thought at least. Continuing to pull and tug at the woman's limbs Niko would smile softly while waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and... 'wait is Tiki not getting out of this?' Niko thought to herself in utter shock as she felt Tiki struggle and struggle, making unintelligible, muffled groans into her crotch, and eventually she felt the woman beginning to slow.

Eyes widening as she felt this Niko decided to play it safe thinking that the woman was nearly out Niko would let go of her opponent's legs and scooted back and away from her teacher. "Tiki... are you alright?" Niko would ask for a moment, trying to give the green haired woman room to breathe, a bit nervous that she'd be angry at her for releasing the hold, or for nearly choking her out, or both in all honesty.

[deezcastforms]

Tiki was not expecting to end up on the verge of genuinely passing out from Niko's hold, but here she was, trapped with her face shoved into her student's crotch with Tiki's only chance of staying awake being the hope that Niko would realize her teacher was in actual trouble and release the hold. Tiki was honestly shocked that Niko had the strength to hold her like this, even if the veteran was weakened from all the previous hits she had taken during training.

Thankfully, Niko realized what was happening before Tiki slipped into unconsciousness, and she released the hold. The teacher promptly rolled onto her back, chest heaving up and down as Tiki took in big gulps of air. Her face was red and covered in sweat. Some of it was her own, and some of it was Niko's. Tiki flashed a quick thumbs up when her student asked if she was alright, wanted to catch her breath a bit more before talking.

"I think..." said Tiki once she finally began to speak, still breathing heavily. "that I underestimated... how much damage I had taken from you using my body to practice your moves on. I hadn't thought myself so worn down that I wouldn't be able to force my way out of any hold that you might put me into. But clearly I was wrong. Take that fact as a testament to your own strength, Niko."

Tiki then managed to bring herself back up to her feet before continuing, "I have some homework for you Niko: Master that hold. During the times you're training on your own time, practice that move as part of your workout. Do it enough times that you can do it consistently and quickly without slipping up or fumbling. As well as figure out the best ways to get that hold. Try to find various setups and positions that will allow you to lock in that hold more easily. As always, feel free to ask me for help if you ever get stuck with that. Perfect that move until you have something you can truly call a signature move. And of course, don't forget to name it once you're done with that," finished Tiki with a smirk.

"On that note, let's take a break," said Tiki. "If you haven't noticed already, this training session has been centered around proving your offense technique, and if I'm going to be an effective practice target, I think it's clear I'm going to need a bit of time to recover." Tiki pulled up a chair and sat down, taking some of her water to wash the sweat off of her face before drinking. "In the meantime, is there anything in particular that you want me to teach you once we pick back up?"

[Bare]

Releasing her teacher, apparently just in the knick of time Niko realized just how tired and drained the woman was, not really expecting it from their matches together so far. Granted as Tiki mentioned she had basically been a living crash test dummy for Niko's expense, but the girl didn't think she was that strong. Though as Tiki mentioned, she should take it as a testament that she was in fact stronger than she thought. Something that made Niko honestly smile a bit to herself about at the thought of.

However as Tikki carried on with Niko's 'homework' she would perk up and nod at what the woman said. 'A signature move? I just made that up on the spot.' Niko thought to herself, hoping she would be able to do as the teacher had asked but otherwise nodding all the same to the woman. "Alright I can do that!" Niko said enthusiastically, hoping to continue with the positive train that she was on with Tiki so far in this training session, honestly hating this far less than she thought she would, and by proxy, warming up to Tiki far more than she thought possible when the two first met.

That being said Niko was almost stumped when Tiki said there training session would continue after a break for Tiki. Niko assumed that nearly passing out would have made the woman want to call it a day, but nope she was still willing to go! Honestly flabbergasted Niko flounder for a second when Tiki asked if there was anything specific she'd want to learn next.

"hmm ummm.. well." Niko said, unsure at first before eventually deciding to herself and looking back up at Tiki with a bit more certainty. "Maybe if you didn't already have a plan for it, a bit more specifics on submissions? I only know a few holds by heart and outside of that just try to recreate what I've seen others do, so actually knowing more about them seems smart to me." Niko said, not sure if it was the right thing to say or not but hoping that it was.
