Senji's choke training

[ThatPolishDude]

Huan sighed and said before locking in fully as she noticed that he didn't take it well. "That was just a joke, sorry if it got uncomfortable. Meant nothing by it." Huan said in a casual tone that made it clear that she really meant nothing by what she said, she just had that kind of a sense of humor.

As Senji grabbed his own hand it did in fact delay the armlock, still fighting against the superior leverage and strength of Huan was not an easy task and he would not break out like this. As he started to rise Huan would use the increased range between them to engage her back in pulling Senji's hand apart as she locked her feet together and shifted to hif front. After that, she would try to bend her knees and pull at her hips to get him closer again effectively transitioning into a triangle choke.

"It's fine, I came to terms with that a long time ago.", Senji said. He was referring to the process of two rolling partners getting closer. It was clearly implied that it shouldn't happen, and such a matter would be rather disrespectful to the dojo as well as the reputation. Therefore, he always tried to respect that rule and had a good amount of self-control. Senji felt a Triangle Choke beginning to set up from his established thoughts. That, and he could see it.

Senji continued his delay of the coveted tap out that Lei no doubt wanted. He was going to try something. As she locked it in, he kept his foot on the floor despite being forced to bend over as she pulled him closer. Senji tried to wrap his free hand around the trapped arm's wrist, giving off an exhale. Then, he began to try to lift her into the air for a slam-style escape....

["My vision is blurring, I may need to submit again soon. She's faster at using the common submissions...."], He thought to himself. Obviously, the effort of lifting her wouldn't be out of his strength range but it wouldn't be too easy either.

[ThatPolishDude]

Seeing what he was about to do Huan would curl her body so that she could store some force that she would thrust to the side with her lower body hopefully getting Senji to the ground or at least off balance. After that, she would reach for his head to pull it closer as she did in her previous triangle chokes.

"Never got the cultural part, remember finding it strange when I was training but I can respect that" She said straining to pull off her plan. "I suppose we should have talked it out at the beginning"

[TheLoneWanderer]

Senji then dropped her, but the satisfying impact was muted by a lurch to the side thus throwing off his momentum due to the change in direction. When they reached the ground, Lei appeared to have taken some damage but her back was helped along by her tactic of curling and then exploding her body's strength to misdirect Senji. The head pull managed to resecure him as well.

"I'm not angry at you, you're phenomenal at chokeholds.", He responded. Senji would then find himself back in the crushing embrace of her thighs. This would draw a tap out, leading to the young man sitting up on his rear if she released him. Senji was pondering the Triangle Choke, noting that Huan was very good at counters. She'd transitioned from the Armbar and delved right into the Triangle Choke, then countered the slam well enough. He was sure he could've did it again but this wasn't an actual fight. It was good that he could experiment though. Otherwise, he may have tried a tactic that would've cost him a hypothetical match.

For the next position, Senji went to step over Huan and lay down on her left side. Then, he turned onto his own left so his back would be facing her. After that, Senji finally lifted his waist so she could get the left hook or foot around his form. Lei was open towards changing his position if she wanted to, however.

[ThatPolishDude]

She would settle into the back mount on their sides. Legs wrapped around his and her arms in an over-under position. If it was a real fight she would transition to RNC but they already went over that already. Instead, she would turn to the side of the hand she had over her own, shifting so that on the leg was over his just while the other disengaged to go over his head while her other hand went to grab his own. At this point, she would push to get him to the mat and grab his hand with both of hers and pull to lock in the armbar.

"Chokes we're half of what got me through mma so I would hope I'm good. The funny thing nobody tells you about competing, being at the top is the worst part" She said as they continued, the last part sounding somewhere between melancholy and disappointment.

[TheLoneWanderer]

"The top? I'm not interested in that....", Senji trailed off, as if concerned by something else. However, this returned back to his usual, fairly cheery attitude. The Armbar from back Mount was a submission he hadn't seen commonly, though most of the techniques were things he knew about but hadn't practiced as much as his favored set of submissions or takedowns. Senji's entrapped arm tensed up. The muscles firmed up as he tried to fight against the Armbar. To further restrict her abilities again, Senji went to turn towards her and reach to grab his wrist before pulling it back.

This was a similar counter to the other Armbar. The final move was performed by Senji using his legs and body to begin to roll away in order to use a twist out escape for the Armbar. That was intention anyway. If this did not work as planned, then he'd pat her thigh two times.

[ThatPolishDude]

Huan would first curl to word him before in an explosive motion that used most of her body strength she struggled to pull his hands apart. As soon as she felt the pat she would let go and sit up next to him.

"Don't mind me I got off the track with that comment. What do you want to do next?"

[TheLoneWanderer]

"Want to continue practicing or call it a night? I'm not exhausted and my dinner can wait.", Senji concluded. Concerning his dinner, if you're curious, he'd cook something. It would likely be in the realm of fish and rice or a heavy-protein based meal to keep up his body's proportions. Usually he didn't need to meticulously watch what he consumed but he liked to have some control on his intake so he either wouldn't starve himself or overeat.

If Lei wanted to continue, then he cycled through positions before settling on the Scarf Hold again. It would be the same set up as last time. His right arm on the front of her body while the left arm framed up on her back to serve as a control point or motion to tap out. His legs were bent at the knees instead of straightened...the young man awaiting whatever hold she chose. With that, came his lungs inhaling fresh air and exhaling carbon dioxide towards the side before he turned to look her in the eyes...or eye due to the eye patch.

[ThatPolishDude]

"If you are not in a rush then we can keep going" Huan would say before following his lead to the next position.

Once they locked eyes she would give him a nod before locking her hold in. She would wrap his arm between her legs in figure four whilst putting her one arm under his and her other one behind his head, and then she would lock her arms together. From this position, she would push on his bed while dragging the trapped arm out and towards his hips.

[TheLoneWanderer]

Senji's face turned from neutral to contorted. His elbow joint wasn't feeling that well, after all. It reminded him of an Armbar, but just using the legs as opposed to the arms. The leg being used as leverage for the hold was the one under his right arm, beginning to hyperextend due to the top one interlocked in the figure four position. Again, he tried to mentally drive out the pain while focusing on something else.

This was so she wouldn't get him to tap out as easily. Obviously he wouldn't push his own arm until it snapped but he just didn't want to submit to Lei immediately. Her arms kept him secure enough, and he thought it best to resist this one. For the first trick, he outright tried to test her control over his right arm by pulling. That also entailed turning towards the left as to assist in pulling away from Huan. He looped his free arm around to where it was on the side of her face closest to his own and started to steadily push on her jaw and chin. Huan's arms couldn't really be handled, at least now at the moment.
