Eric -vs- David -vs- Patrick

[David B.]

Moving quickly. Thats always good. Reflexes, a plus. But moving within reason as things happen in seconds is very difficult. David wasn't about to let the boy get the upper hand in the situation, but he wasn't going to be able to watch everything at once. Still, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen. Hair grab, knee in face. Simple and common. The worse of these two evils was, in the long term, the hair grab. The knee could be avoided, but the grab to the hair was a pain that would last forever. Davids right hand, having not even had the chance to grip the boys hair, was blocked, but worse, it wasn't subdued. It was left to hang.

The Captain was experienced in these matters, and, as the block came, David improvised, instead reversing the role of his arms and legs to pull Eric into a triangle choke reversed. First, he would have to make sure the boy wasn't going to retaliate.

Davids right hand came down, grabbing just above the elbow as the left hand went for Davids hair, pulling it off to the side, hanging on with a vice-grip. The knee was hurtling toward his face, so, calmly, accepting the lesser of evils, moved his forearm that held the arm of Eric's left into the way of the knee, the muscle and bone slamming together, a hard, dull pain coming to his head. Nothing debilitation but would definitely be sore.

Now, holding both arms, David got a far more dubious idea that that of the Triangle choke.

The Juji Gatame, or pulled armbar. David would pull down as he fell backward, whipping his left leg up quickly to plant it on his abdomen. Then, now that Eric would be bent forward from the force applied to his arms, David would release the right arm of Eric, quickly bringing up his right leg over the kids left shoulder so his calf rested on his neck, then forced him down to his back with the strength of both legs and the help of Eric's stumbling or willingness to fall. Either way would put him off balance and leave David in control.

Eric’s hand was intercepted right after the block. He knew that he didn’t have much time and his own arm was in motion even as David moved his forearm into position to block the college freshman’s kick. The front part of his arm circled down between the two fighters even as the blow hit. When it came back up it was under David’s elbow and pushed upward and inward on it as Eric flexed his arm so that his upper and lower arm trapped the upper arm of David between them. This would also bring the wandering male’s upper body much closer to David’s upper torso and twist the boy’s body to the left to relieve the pressure that was put on his shoulder which would also prevent him from bringing his right leg up over Eric’s shoulder as the joints would have to bend in ways that no man could to accomplish that feat. As David’s body was twisted and they fell to where his back had been pointing the wandering male twisted his right wrist up against David’s thumb to break the grip on it. From there it came up between the gap still between the lower bodies of the two fighters and came to rest holding David’s wrist so the school captain couldn’t possibly work his upper arm free and straiten his elbow. Though with the way they were positioned it would be very unlikely that could happen even if David managed to hold onto Eric’s other wrist.

When they hit the floor Eric would end up on top straddling his opponent with an arm firmly trapped in his grasp. Eric would push the elbow inward toward his right which would further turn the younger male under him so he was lying on his stomach. He knew this would happen because if David didn’t do that then his shoulder would be dislocated by the force Eric was putting on his arm. Not that that would matter because once he had the school captain on his stomach Eric would lean forward until he heard the popping of the shoulder joint. With the arm disabled for the moment Eric’s perch would be that much more secure so he let go of David’s arm and placed one hand on the boy’s left shoulder. Pressing down with his bodyweight, the wandering male brought his right fist back before slammed it down into the back of his opponent’s head.

OOC(( I'm kind of confused as to your move, so if my reply is confusing in some way, let me know.))

The grip David held was on the outside of Eric's right arm, and while the grip was tight and in place, it wasn't made useless. Now, Eric's motion was going to be a big tip-off; David wasn't likely to remain in a position where his own limbs were going to be vigorously used against him, so, instead of having the possibility of his ground assault through the arm bar, David opted for a different approach. As the blow struck at the knee's, David would no longer hold the vicious grip on forearm of Eric's right hand. Instead, he would push it toward Eric's chest, and, since both of their legs were in a position of being near useless in the upper body struggle, used the opportunity to slam his upper body into Eric's, releasing both arms at the same moment so when their bodies met, the movement of the left arm that Eric was planning to use would be trapped in between the two bodies.

Now, how, exactly, would this be possible?

That forward momentum.

By pushing his body forward toward Eric when Eric had been moving toward David from the pull the Captain had initiated, it gave him a split second window, enough to remove his arms as he threw his own body forward instead of back, the muscle colliding and trapping Eric's arms, then David would weave his own arms behind Eric's back in a "Bear hug", though David would only squeeze tight enough to make sure Eric couldn't remove his arms from in between their bodies. Now, this move, snapped short and from being forced into a quick decision, left David open for a swift head butt, something that, should Eric see, would be near unavoidable. However, it gave him the opportunity to twist his upper body around and slam Eric on to his back, David on top.

He would then begin to try and slide and slither his upper body enough to get his legs around and over Eric's own thighs, meaning David would release the bear hug and have Eric in a full mount, a situation nobody wanted to be in. Should Eric have given a head butt, David would likely bleed from the area of attack, should it have been the lip or nose. Anywhere else, however, would just deal damage but leave no impression in its wake.

This move, while more power based, would be extremely difficult to get out of since Their own body weights and Erics positioning of his arms worked against him.

David, in that full mount, would then begin to rain punch after punch on the body and face of Eric, alternating between the ribs and the face, his punches flying at a rate that Eric would be forced to try and defend against.

Eric's arm had been rotating around since before the school captain had blocked his initial knee strike. so when the captain tried to push Eric's forearm into his chest there were several things that were working against that. One was the positioning of Eric's arm compared to his opponent. It was important to note that David was still kneeling down at this point and was gripping Eric's arm right above the elbow. from his angle he would have almost not leverage on Eric's arm. Second was that David had to transit from a full on kneeling position to a partially standing position before he would be able to press His body forward enough to trap Eric's arm between the two. The third was that while he was faster then Eric, he wasn't that much faster that he could stop a simple and quick movement that Eric had already started. So while Eric might not have gotten his hand onto David's elbow when he started pushing forward he most defiantly had his arm out from between the two fighters. Eric's right arm was still between the two fighters like David expected, but the left hadn't been pinned leaving one arm free. However that still wouldn't stop the problem of being pushed back, that's where Eric's feet came into play.

The foot that had came up to knee David in the face came back down, it's heel slamming into the toes of David's right foot. Eric's knee pressed into the side of David's from the outside since he had started out from a kneeling position, which would collapse the leg and turn the school captain's body. Eric's left arm shoot forward and his hand dug into the school captain's armpit while the fingers wrapped up and around his shoulder so the appendage could press deep into the sensitive tissue there. Most people didn't toughen the arm pit against blows and there was a large nerve cluster there that made this sort of grip quite painful. The college freshman's right hand, which was crossed in front of his and David's body, just grabbed a handful of flesh from David's side and dug in. These three factors would allow the older boy to grip and throw his opponent to the side flat as he tried to push forward. The knee wouldn't have any strength to resist because the school captain had no way to brace it. And the two handfuls of flesh would ensure that David fell where Eric wanted him too. And if nothing else when Eric drove his heel into the toes of his opponent he was likely to break them between the hard bone and the concrete floor. And David would have a hard time shifting that foot in the middle of trying to stand and press forward without loosing his center of gravity.

Once David was on his way to the ground, Eric would simply pick up his right foot and slam his other heel onto David's Achilles tendon on the right leg which Eric had initially trapped with his foot stomp. If it didn't snap the tendon it would fuck up his foot enough that even standing on it would be painful. And even the simplest of kicks would be more difficult if not impossible with the inability to move the foot from that attack.

[David B.]

Ah, see, here was where Eric's move would prove useless.

See, Eric's right leg was the one that had come up for the knee to the face, and his upper body was still bent over from the grip David had on Eric's arms. Now, since Eric was stomping down on Davids right foot, that would mean he would have to place it in front of his left foot, sort of crossing his legs as he did it. Pain would shoot up Davids leg, the foot slamming down on his own not feeling very good at all, but it gave him an opportunity. Eric, had totally destabilized his upper and lower body balance in a drastic move, so, without even pausing to blink, David would twist his upper body to the left, pulling Eric's body with him. Now, a second before doing this, Davids right foot would slide further out to the right side.

Eric, while slamming that foot down, had probably counted on bringing his foot back up afterward. What he didn't count on, was in the second his foot made contact with Davids, the foot would slide, giving a sort of " Banana peel" effect, causing Eric's balance to further be overthrown. As Eric went down, David would bring back in his right back up and over Eric's body before it would even hit the ground, Once more putting him on top of Eric in a full mount. The kid had helped the school Captain by trying to stomp on his foot, and placed the fellow in an even more difficult position to avoid.

Without further ado, David would continue in his plan, raining punches down on the body until the kid submitted or went unconscious.

Just need to resolve a small technical issue with David, PM already sent.

[David B.]

id like to continue this fight when i return, if its possible to request a postponement of it until that time. If not, then id ask Eric to comprimise on a draw, since im sure he wouldnt want to win through inability to post. If he truly needs it, ill have to post again making David get disqualified, or quit the match, though i would like it to go on once i get back.

[David B.]

I'm game to continue this whenever.
