Another day of Nothing

[Jyo]

Seeing Cliff move to the right Jyo slammed his foot down to the ground instantly stopping his movement let allowing Cliff to get in the position for his attack. Jyo's left leg was still in motion. And fortunatly for Jyo Cliff was on his left side.

His leg came in and bent so his knee would now be aimed for Cliff's ribs as his left arm shot up while he turned his upper body to face Cliff catching the attack aimed for his back. The catch wasn't hard but Jyo's arm rocked back slightly from the force of the attack. but Jyo showed no signs of it taking effort. Even if it failed or succeeded, after his knee strike jyo would push off with his right foot and let go of Cliff's arm. His right hand though still in his pocket was tensed and ready to deflect an attack from Cliff's free hand.

These actions were done in roughly about a second and Jyo was reading the movements like he would read a book.

[fryman]

As Cliff was rotating he moved his right arm so it would be parallel with the right side of his torso. As he did that two things happened in that moment, one Jyo had grab hold of his left arm making it unable to do anything, and second his knee slammed into his forearm aright above his elbow. There was a slight flash of pain, but it ended quickly as Jyo let go of Cliff’s arm and jumped out of the way.

Turning around to see Jyo moving backwards Cliff did not think or stop to consider his actions, but just darted forward pushing off with his right foot. As he moved his right arm was in a fist and was angle away from his opponent and left was bent inwards and in front of Cliff. As soon as he would get in striking distance Cliff sent his right fist straight towards Jyo’s upper body while moving his left hand down to send in another attack or counter one of Jyo’s attack.

[Jyo]

Jyo's response was one that would show Cliff a little taste of Jyo's abilitys. His counter was to send his left hand out in a fist of his own meeting Cliff's right Knuckle to Knuckle. He decided now was a good time to pull his right hand out of it's pocket and though it wasn't fast enough to get down and block the second attack which Jyo noticed did have the kind of force he thought it would. It was able to be brought up for an uppercut right to Cliff's chin.

Jyo once more slid back but his height and long legs allowed him to attack with a basic round kick as e lept back using his right foot and aiming it for Cliff's side thought it was mostly used to keep Cliff at bay.
"You aren't to shabby." Jyo said.

[fryman]

When Cliff drew his right hand for an attack he received a swift counter from Jyo who sent his left hand straight towards Cliff’s right thus deflecting it. When the two hands hit Cliff’s right when flying away. As it went Cliff sent in his left hand to hit Jyo in the gut that manage to graze him. The reason for the minimal damage was that as that was happening Jyo had sent an uppercut to Cliffs chin that sent him up a little bit from the ground.

After he got the hit in the chin the next thing that happened was that Jyo had sent his right leg in a basic round kick that collided with his left bicep. As he was moving down Cliff extended his right leg out so that it would become firmly placed on the ground so he would stop falling. Moving to bring his left foot to the ground Cliff pushed until he was able to get his bearing again and force Jyo’s leg off the side of his arm.

With a small grunt he got his foot on to the ground before he grinned and said, “Same can be said about you.”

After he said that Cliff would then move his left arm outwards forcefully if Jyo’s leg was still on it in hopes to have him lose his footing and be open to several attacks, but knew Jyo would of moved out of the area by then to avoid any such events to occur.

[Jyo]

As soon as Jyo's foot had made contact he pulled it back in. The kick had served it's purpose. Jyo decided he'd let Cliff serve the attack this time. After all he was highly curious as to what Cliff might do. he hadn't really seen the guy's Attack patterns in any way. It would be a good change for him.

Jyo let his left foot led now and both arms hung at his sides. otherwise he was in the same stance he had been in at the start of the spar.

[fryman]

AS he got his footing Cliff saw Jyo move quickly back a few feet and got back in his original stance when this spar started. Forming his hands into a fist Cliff made his knuckles crack as he kicked off with his left foot and went straight towards him. His left elbow was bent and held at a sort of guard position for flexible use and his right was along the side of his body.

When he would get in close Cliff would take a step with his right foot and then send in his right hand with a quick jab towards Jyo’s face. As he did that Cliff would bring his left hand down ready to send in another punch. When Cliff would draw his right hand back to the outside Cliff would then send his left hand out in a short of hook punch fashion, but would be rotating his fist to give the punch a vertical strike angle to Jyo’s upper body instead of a horizontal strike to his side.

[Jyo]

Jyo leaned to the left to avoid the attack to his face but as he reset his position with his right arm ready for a backhand he felt a blow to his chest n the right side. He grinned a bit and then his left hand shot out grabbing the forearm of the fist that hit him.

His right knee came up quickly aimed at Cliff's gut and Jyo let go of the forearm. He [ushed up for a backflip kick aimed for Cliffs chin. If sucessful the landing would put him about seven feet away.
"Impressive." He said with a slight nod.

[fryman]

When Jyo grabbed his left fore arm Cliff’s right arm was back enough to launch another attack with it. Stepping forward with his right foot Cliff sent his right hand from the rear downward angle towards Jyo’s right knee. As soon as that punch would hit Jyo Cliff would have his left arm open and digging the hand into Jyo’s knee would it as a base and tackle his right shoulder into Jyo’s chest in an attempt to knock Jyo to the ground.

[Jyo]

Jyo smiled lightly after the first blows and he decided to let Cliff knock him down. He grabbed Cliff's shoulder in an iron grip though puling him down as his right knee came up into Cliff's chest
Alright change of plans. Let's see if you can fly.[/img} Jyo thought as they fell back. His right hand came in to slam into Cliff's left ribs as they fell. As soon as Jyo's back hit the ground he kicked out with his right leg extending the leg to slam his shin aginst the rest of Cliff's torso and launch him away as he let go of his shoulder.

Jyo rolled to his feet and smirked.
"You're a tough one aren't you. Reminds me of another guy back at my old school. Though he was probably stronger. I never really beat him one-on-one." he said deciding to let Cliff move. His stance stayed the same. Not even really a stance. He simply stood there with his eyes locked onto Cliff's and a respectful but amused look on his face.

[fryman]

As Cliff was about to move from knocking Jyo over Cliff felt a hand gripping his shoulder pulling him down, and before he knew what else happen Cliff got hit by a series of attacks that sent him straight into the few feet. The final hit that Cliff knew was when he was just about to get into the air was a hit into the torso that caused Cliff to fall backwards and hit the ground with his back.

Getting up from his back Cliff raised his hands into a defensive stance with both fist in front of his face. With his right hand Cliff wipe his mouth from he saliva that came out and looked towards Jyo as he made the comment. With a smirk Cliff replied back, “So should I take that comment as a compliment or an insult? It sounds a bit of both, eh?”

[Jyo]

"The compliment is the correct guess. I just had though thaqt croseed my mind. But it's nothing really. You're a challange and rather fun to spar with." He said pleasently. This was where Jyo was at his best. A foe that could make him work for the fight. Mitsuki was also a good fighter. As with Ken. But both of them lacked a certain qualoity Jyo looked for. And Cliff had it.

Jyo stayed right where he was. He could outwait just about anyone but that simply wasn't his style. If Cliff didn't make his move soon Jyo would dat right back in and kick things up.

[fryman]

Still smirking Cliff said rather amused, “Whatever you say.” As soon as he had finish that statement Cliff went straight for Jyo again with both of his fist up. When he got close to Jyo Cliff side step to his right, and shifted his body to the right to be angle towards Jyo before he deliver his attack.

Bringing his right hand back Cliff lower his left hand as he sent a right hook towards Jyo. Yet if a person would follow the punch close enough then he would notice that the angle it was in was to sharp and would never hit a foe at the current distance Jyo was. The reason for that was that was that his real attack wasn’t with his fist, but with the heel of his left foot. Since he shifted his body so much Cliff created a great momentum and using his right foot as a base and arms to increase the momentum Cliff became able to extend his left leg out a bit to propel his left foot towards Jyo’s back.

If the attack would work then Cliff would dig his left heel into the back of his opponent and using it as a base push off with it to gain some distance and land. At the point of landing on his two feet Cliff would charge in for another attack. He would of went in with his fist up again and send a hook punch towards Jyo followed by an uppercut with his left.

If Jyo would of got out of the attack then Cliff would just move his left so it would land on the ground and propel himself towards Jyo to deliver a right hook punch towards Jyo to knock him off balance before he would skid to a stop and get into a defensive position with arms raised and legs shoulder length apart.

[Jyo]

Jyo chuckled as Cliff came in and the red haired fighter decided to give Cliff a small taste of his real abilities. His eyes literally lit up with an odd glow and for Jyo everything seemed to slow down as his Qi activated and Jyo's perception and readment of movements acllerated to a point beyond what many others were capable of.

Jyo was able to stand in place until the last moment when he spun around and his left hand shot up blocking the attack aimed for his back. He grinned as his hand wrapped around the ankle as soon as contact was made and his other arm grabbed right below the knee. With a great heave Jyo threw Cliff down to slam into the ground. Jyo would then let go and Jump back as his Qi deactivated and the glow faded.

[fryman]

Going through with his attack Cliff was suddenly halted out of nowhere when Jyo suddenly spun around in a flash of an eye and stopped his attack head on. In disbelief at the sudden break in his action Jyo had grabbed hold of Cliff’s ankle and with great force out of nowhere lifted Cliff up and threw him to the ground in an instance. The shock of the sudden attack prevented Cliff from setting up any sort of defense.

Getting up slowly from the attack with some dust falling off of his shoulder Cliff stood straight up and leaned his shoulder backwards and chest forward. Regaining his posture and standing up Cliff looked over at Jyo with shock in his eyes and a stern look on his face. In a calm almost shaky move Cliff asked slowly, “What…was…that?”

[Jyo]

"That my friend... Is the perhaes my most powerful ability. I can read an react to movments faster than most people can think of when my Qi is active. Just a small sample of what it can do." He said with a small smile.
"Perhapes a bit unfair but I mostly wanted to see your reaction. I must admit that you handeld the surpsie better than most do." He said.

They were far enough apart Jyo decided to get things going again.
"Get ready." He said coming in quickly and as he reached his own striking distance his long legs went to wrok. his left flew in for a side kick aimed at Cliff's gut. It would rear back and shoot out again in a hook kick even if the first attack didn't hit. Then his foot would touch down and his left legg would come in for a cresent kick aimed for the right side of Cliff's face. Jyo was pretty sure Cliff could take the attacks.

Jyo would try and get soem distance between Cliff and himself after the attacks if everything worked out. but if things didn't work the way he planned. Well Jyo could always improvise.
