BigTrouble Reckoned that was it!"
Himari's interest certainly had been peaked for a moment as she listened to Muramasa, her expression holding a smile that seemed to be one of the first that was actually genuine.
"I had a feeling that much of what came before always came from something dating back. Likely even a mixture of it came into Okada style too..."
At the compliment of her grappling, the blonde would wave her hand to the side as she nodded at him.
"Thanks...ya'lls ain't bad neither..."
With the two of them having this brief reprieve, Himari would begin to rotate her own arm as she stretched it upward as the man-made mention of how his style wasn't as flashy as the Okada, leading the young woman to smirk as she rested her hand upon her hip.
"Gotta be...otherwise we won't be much as performers. Alotta it just for show though..."
It wasn't that much of a secret in truth, but they had to make sure that such moves were capable of being viewed by crowds and made a great effort of making sure that it was both safe for the user and still captivating for those watching them. If it was simply straight and to the point, it would reflect a lot of real life. Often, people didn't come to shows just for that alone. Some came for the drama and the spectacle.
"Still don't mean it ain't all for it..."
It seemed like their break was over, allowing Himari to gesture with a nod that she was ready as she placed herself back into her squared stance. Seeing as he began to move in, she'd watch as he attempted a jab with this left, though clearly moving with intention through the right side with a downward knife-hand. Using her shin as a defense against the impact of the strike, the sting of the attack was not lost upon her, but she managed to move her arms upward to hold him in place, locking him in as she then switched from her defensive left leg to her right driving itself into his chest. In a final attempt, she'd release him from her lock before slamming her elbow downward to plant him against the ground, bouncing back before holding her left leg upward and close to her chest, her stance returning to its previous position as she grit her teeth.
"I still got a question for ya'll...if ya'll feel like answering..."
-Jutsu Used-
NAME: Sukueasutansu [Square Stance] RANK: E COST: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu DESCRIPTION: This square stance is the basic for all muy thai techniques. In this stance, the hips are square and facing the opponent and the feet are shoulder width apart. The arms and hands form a high gaurd near the face, purposely exposing the ribs. It is customary for practitioners to bounce between the knees in a sort of march. To move forward the right follows the left. To move to the left, right follows the left. The other two directs follow the opposite order. When kicking from this stance, the user twists their hips and pulls their head back.
NAME: Kyatchi to Rokku [Catch and Lock] RANK: D COST: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu DESCRIPTION: Rather than raising one's leg/shin to block a kick and potentially lose one's balance, a practitioner can catch a kick instead. While shifting one's hips and core oppsite to the kick, the elbow can be brought down and into the body to catch the leg and lock it at one's side. It is possible to add the hands into the motion by claspin the leg and catching it before locking it or by wrapping the arms around the leg and catching and locking it that way.
NAME: Shimetsuke [Clinching] RANK: D COST: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu DESCRIPTION: This is both a defensive maneuver and an offensive one. For a muy thai fighter, close range is the best range. By tightening their hands around an opponent's neck and pulling them in, they can gain the upper hand and put themselves in a position to attack. It is also possible to avoid attacks in this situation and recover since it limits the opponent's movements.
NAME: Hiji Sutoraiku [Elbow Strike] RANK: C COST: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu DESCRIPTION: Taking advantage of the fact that the elbow is almost pure bone, this attack works like the point of a knife. By focusing all the force on the elbows, the force is centered and magnified in a small area, creating intense pressure like that of a blade. This attack can easily cut through human skin due to the hardness of the elbows. Even if it doesn't knock an opponent out, this almost guaranteed to leave a nasty cut if it connects.
-S.A Used- Show-Stopper Himari begun her career as an underdog, underestimated by many of her opponents within the ring due to her size. Yet, in spite of this, she would always come up with a way to win in the end, despite being at the disadvantage. This has much to do with her reflexes, capable of moving around her targets attempts and finding the openings she needs to take them down. More often than not, this serves as her means of protection in it being difficult to hit a someone that you can't accurately engage against. Though it operates on her instincts, it can be unreliable in some situations. Especially if Himari has not been able to figure out the exact anatomy of her opponent.
Heart of a Champion During her run within the OWA, Himari would train constantly to build up her strength and stamina. She would need both in order to complete the various techniques that were involved in her style of wrestling. As such, strength training was key in her mind as she came up with an arrangement in order to continue to build upon those foundations taught to her. While she is indeed smaller than most of the people she encounters, her size does no more than give her the appearance of being less powerful than she is. Her ability to sustain stronger grapples upon her opponents is increase through this advantage, as well as the impact of her physical attacks.
Legacy of a Champion Okada Riku was known throughout the world for her speed and agility when she was in the ring. Such is reflected upon her continue run until her retirement. This trait has been passed down by to her daughter as Himari has displayed incredible speed. This has only increased over the years, alongside her training with both her mother and other shinobi. She can move swiftly across the field with little issue, using her agile footwork to get in close on a target before they can even realize it. Excelling at this, she focuses on being evasive with this ability as well, allowing for her to be just as proactive in getting in, as well not getting hit in the process.
Keen Eye After leaving the life of a performer, Himari was given the opportunity to help development the next generation of wrestlers for the OWA. This required that she further study the methods and means in which to help others increase their potential safely without causing injury to themselves. In doing this, she learned about the human body, as well as points upon which one could take advantage of a target and weaken them. While this was a skill she had learned through her career, she further used this knowledge to be more accurate of calculating strategies when dealing with opposition, as well as certain situations that required a keen insight into the anatomy of an individual. This insight also allows for Himari to properly control her own chakra with knowledge of her own limited and accessible supply.
