Welcome to Gaia! ::

Description: A square stone platform raised three feet off the ground. A stadium of a crowd surrounds the entire field (so ignore the backdrop in the above picture).

Field Measurements:

Stone Platform - 40 x 40 yards
Surrounding Grass - 15 yards between the platform and the audience

Ten Count Boundary: As soon as both feet touch the grass, the ring out count begins. Going higher than forty yards into the air starts a ten count.

The sounds of the announcer introducing Yue's opponent James Eredas indicated that it was almost time for him to go out himself. It was his first actual sponsored competition so he was a little nervous, though as he prepared to walk out he steeled his nerves by doing a simple but short breathing exercise. His clothes wear rather simple in the fact that they resembled the garb typically worn by Tibetan monks. As for his hair it was pulled back behind him and tied in a tight braid that seemed to fall right down the middle of his back.

Walking out as his name was called there was a chorus of cheers. The people cheered for him and yet they did not know his dirty secret. as he walked up on the stage he walked up to James so as to greet him. One of his main features that would stick out was the fact that it was almost as if he had a woman's face. "good luck." Yue had clearly changed his voice to sound deeper. as if he was trying to hide something. He had not carried either of his weapons out for this first match, which might have been a mistake but if so he would deal with the consequences .

Yue's physical build was rather hard to discern with his clothes, though there were certain angles that if you looked at him he appeared to be very feminine. Out of respect for his opponent Yue curled his right hand into a fist and placed it against his left hands flat palm, bowing to James....

Yue smiled as his respect was returned by James, though the smile quickly faded to a more serious one. making the fist move after James had taken his stance, Yue took a step forward with his left foot slightly bending his left knee as he did so. Using the forward movement of his first step Yue launched a fast and powerful right leg kick aimed for James center of mass. He was using full speed and force with his kick and wasn't planing on holding back, meaning that his kick was flying towards James at roughly 35mph. The kick itself though powerful was meant as nothing more than to knock James out of his stance. Yue was careful to keep his arms loose but ready for any sort of counterattack that might come his way from his initial step forward.

Yue was a skilled fighter but his tactics in this case were just trying to gauge his opponents skill. Once that piece of information had been found out then the match would really heat up.

Yue Had expected that he would block, and Knew that it was stupid to start with a kick but quickly found his leg being grasped. Though strangely he was able to maintain his balance fairly well, when James went to through his low spin kick Yue bent he left leg showing just how incredibly limber he was, and jumped swinging his left leg around James's neck. This would place Yue on top of James presumably on his shoulders.

Yue's flexibility was amazing, though what seemed off about him was that fact that it seemed almost as if his center of gravity was in his hips instead of his chest.


((0oc: i don't like this post, i should have just made him take the fall stare ))

As Yue fell to the arena floor he tumbled into it performing a backwards somersault springing back to his feet. It was clear that his opponent was no beginner. deciding that it was time to get serious Yue took the time to take off his over garment. Leaving him standing there in the cotton cloth pants. The hole crowd let out a gasp as When Yue did this he revealed the fact that he was actually a she. The gown was big enough that it managed to cover her tapped down breasts, and when she entered she had registered as a guy.

Throwing the cast aside clothes to her left she then moved her left leg out in front of her right allowing her to assume a sideways stance reducing the amount of her body that was exposed. Raising her left hand up in a defensive manner. Yue moved her fingers in a waving motion as if to taunt James.

Yue had little time to React to James's attack, but she was not a beginner and without taking any time to think about it she dodged his first attack by leaning to her left where she spun her right foot a full 180 degrees to her left also shifting her left foot to her right about 4 inches. Her reaction was a tad slow so Jame's fist Managed to graze across her back, though she ignored the pain. placing both of her hands on James's arm Yue intended to redirect the force of what was left of Jame's punch. She firmly gripped her right hand on his wrist while placing her left hand firmly underneath his elbow and lifted with all her might. Pushing up on the elbow and down on the wrist.

If her throw didn't work she had managed to put enough force into her dominant hand(left) that she would break his joint at the elbow. Meaning that if James tried to avert the throw he would be simply breaking his own joint. Yue's Knowledge of the human body and the pressure points allowed her to take full advantage of her opponents body exposing weaknesses that most people wouldn't even think to exploit. The human elbow that allows the arm to bend is rather weak, and while you can strengthen your arms strengthening ones joints is a completely different subject.

Three things happened when James pulled her into a bear hug to try and use her to perform a german suplex. The first was that while her right arm was pinned to her chest her left arm was for the most part free enough that she could use it to strike him, and strike him she did, she went for his pelvis using her elbow as her instrument of destruction.

The second happened almost simultaneously with the first. While it was true that James had her in a bear hug, this did not quite keep her from using her legs, and use them she did. Since Yue and James were practically on top of each other Yue didn't really have to see where she was aiming. She let off 4 kicks to James's knees. She used her left foot to strike the inside of his left knee, and as such used her right to strike the inside of his right knee. By doing this she could force him to loose his balance and thus the suplex would be defeated. Since James was holding her in place it meant she didn't need one leg to remain standing, which made her chances of knocking him off balance much better. because she was striking at both his knees and his pelvis all at the same time.

The third thing that I know everyone is anticipating, is the fact that she used her head like a weapon and struck James in the head. now how did she accomplish this? simple she waited until James was knocked off balance and flung her head back using the base of her skull to hit him squarely in the forehead while he was more worried about maintaining balance.
