Another day of Nothing

[fryman]

Still a bit shock from the previous attacks Cliff kept his eyes on Jyo as he came in for the first attack. The first kick came in fast and easy to avoid, and to avoid it Cliff took a step back to have the kick sweep right in front of him. Then leaning backwards from his waist Cliff avoided the hook kick that was aimed at his head. As he was moving forward Cliff got hit in the right side of his face with the last kick, but instead of falling down Cliff stumbled to his left a little to regain his balance.

Shaking his head violently for a second Cliff’s eyes refocus as he looked at Jyo who had made some distance from him. Smiling Cliff asked politely, “Guess I am not as rusty as I would like to think. Would you like to continue because I think I am just starting to feel a pinch from your attacks?”

[Jyo]

Jyo wasn't surprised his last attack was the only one that landed on target. He could tell Cliff was quick and could get a good defense in. Jyo would simply have to pick up the pace a bit. When Cliff asked his question Jyo gave a chuckle.
"Glad to hear it. because I'm not even started yet." He said as he came in again. Now Jyo would be pressing the attack.

Whe he got into Cliff's striking distance he pushed off with his right leg and once at Cliff's side he had his left leg stop the movement while his left hand was tensed and held up slightly to be ready to defend against upper body attacks. his right leg already tensed for defense against lower body attacks.

Jyo's right hand shot at Cliff's ribs for a hammerstrike. Jyo would then spin bringing his left leg to be planted past Cliff and then his right leg would lift up as he pivoted on his left attacking with a spin kick that would be used to hook Cliff's neck with the curve behind his knee and use the attack more like a throw to toss Cliff to the ground once more.

Jyo was moving full speed this time and putting everything into the attacks he used. He knew Cliff could handle int and wanted to see what happend when he put a little more into it.

[fryman]

Looking at Jyo as he darted straight towards him Cliff tighten his arms as he notice the increase of speed all of a sudden. Seeing Jyo dart to Cliff’s left Cliff brought his Left hand up a little distance from his rib so when the strike hit the hand it would move towards Cliff’s gut not as forcefully.

As soon as that was over Cliff’s eyes darted to see Jyo had planted his left leg past him and then the motion of Jyo’s right was notice moving for an attack. Brining his arms together Cliff turned his body to that attack and propped one of his arms to absorb and hold off the attack. Leaning his weight on to Jyo’s attack foot Cliff lifted his far foot and swung it straight towards Jyo’s upper body. The foot closest to jyo and the hand that was used to hold off the attack where used as his base as he swung the other foot in.

[Jyo]

Jyo feeling pressure on his leg astopping his attack decided to go for using simple physics this time. Cliff was after al useing him to do this move. Jyo would simply swing his leg the other way to the ground letting Cliff lose that balance. Jyo took the attack to his chest and stepped back with it lessening the impact. though he did stumble back a step further than he thought it would.
"Not bad. Not bad at all." He said waiting for Cliff's next move.

[fryman]

With the attack going through and hitting Jyo Cliff started to fall down to his side as predicted with his lose of a base. In order to control it Cliff extended out his arm and push on the ground so his body would rotate to face Jyo and kicking off the ground with the only leg on the ground Cliff landed on the floor with his butt, legs crossed, and facing Jyo.

Smiling Cliff looked at Jyo and crossing his arms asked grinning, “When will you stop patronizing me?”

Moving his hands to his side Cliff hit them (open palm) to the ground and propelled himself back up on his feet.

[Jyo]

Jyo shrugged.
"My apologies. that was not my intent. I simply tend to observe aloud sometimes." He said and let Cliff get up and ready. He then grinned.
"You're impressive. I haven't run into many like you." he said the dashed at Cliff and Jumped up flipping forward bringing his left foot down in for an ax kick aimed at Cliff's left shoulder making it so the leg would be crossing over. Jyo's left hand was positioned to guard against counter hits and that was is Cliff didn't go for a Block. if the Block was made it worked well for Jyo as his left hand could come in for a palmstrike to Cliff's ribs as it would most likely take both arms to bock this attack

[fryman]

Raising both of his arms into the air in an X formation so that the axe kick that was going for the shoulder would land right in the middle of the X. Instead of just leaving the foot there for Jyo to move it Cliff tighten his arms over it to gain a grip on it. Once the grip was establish Cliff would then rotate his body from his waist to the left in an attempt to throw Jyo away before he could make any attack. Once that was done Cliff would move his right foot over so to face Jyo and place his elbows to his side pointing outwards into a defensive position.

[Jyo]

Jyo's palm missed by bare inches as he was thrown to the side. He let his left hand hit the ground and his arm bent slightly then he pushed off using the momentum and let his legs swing over and his feet planted to the ground then straitend up with a small nod of appreciation. Rarely did Jyo's moves get completely countered.

He saw Cliff was going for defense this time. Jyo ponderd for a moment and simply stood there with a small smile for a second and slide into an actual stance. Hie right foot slid forward about a foot and he placed his left outwards about four inches out from his shoulder. His right hand was held out to the side and his forearm came up with the back of his hand facing Cliff hile in a fist and his lft held slightly in front of him with his hand at chest level being rather relaxed.

[fryman]

Figuring this would be another stand off. To avoid wasting time Cliff brought his feet closer and moved his right to his side and left fist over his chest. Kicking off with his right foot Cliff charged straight towards Jyo with his right hanging out behind and left up fro guard. Once he got close to Jyo, Cliff took a step with his right foot and shifted his body right as he threw a punch straight in towards Jyo’s upper body.

[Jyo]

Jyo's reaction was like most of his moves when they were actually looked back upon. He leaned to his left and his left hand came to slam into the side of Cliff's right arm then swung his right foot around behind him and was pivoting on his left foot so as not to twist his ankle. His right hand came swinging to crash into Cliff's back with a hammer strike as he pushed off with his left foot bringing it to crash into Cliff's ribs then pushed off to get some distance between them with his right foot.

"I'll warn you now. I was testing you a bit before. Now that I know you can handle it I'm not going to really hold back much." He said calmly and evenly though he was still smiling, clearly from the challenge.

[fryman]

Cliff’s punch hit Jyo’s hand and it sent his right arm moving outwards from the recoil. When Jyo then turned his whole body to attack, Cliff turned his waist towards the attack and placed both of his hands up in front of his chest so that the hammer punch would collide with his palms damping the blow mainly to his left palm.

When Jyo moved his hand out of the way and sent in right foot towards his chest Cliff kept his right hand in position so to catch the foot with his right hand. Once it hit the hand Cliff would move the grip to get a grasp on the shoe with his right and with his left grab Jyo’s ankle. With a smirk on his face Cliff then started to forcefully rotate his waist ad body to his left, while keeping his feet firmly on the ground, and attempted to throw Jyo into the little clock toward in the courtyard that was close to them.

[Jyo]

Jyo once caught gave a small smile as Cliff threw him. By not resisting this Jyo had much more control of what he was doing. He tucked and rolled through the air and his feet made contact with what he had been intended to crash into.
Nice try He thought as the smile turned into a full toothed grin. He pushed off and came in at Cliff pretty much as nothing but a blur to most who would see this.

He kept up his momentum to jump up and when he got into striking distance both hands shot out in palmstrikes. On at Cliff's chest the other at his gut. If sucessful and Cliff was knocked away by the sheer force of the blows Jyo wouldn't let him go far as his hands would shoot out to the sides to grab his forearms or wrists. And he would then pull him in while his right foot would gou out in a pushkick. He would then let go of Cliff's wrists to send him back.

Jyo was on full alert now after that little exchange. He could easily switch his plans for another set of attacks if needed. Cliff was worthy of Jyo's full ability without using his Qi. Jyo would revel in a good battle. Not many could really have given him a challenge before coming here.

[fryman]

Watching as Jyo moved in the air Cliff’s eyes widen as he watches his opponent land on the small tower and pushed off it. The next thing Cliff knew Jyo was right in front of him and sent both palms into his chest. The force of the two-palm strike where so strong that it sent Cliff sliding back a bit. If that same attack collide with someone of lesser endurance then there was not a doubt in his mind that it could of broke a few ribs knocking the opponent out. Luckily for Cliff he always had abnormal endurance even if his speed is lacking a bit.

Still on his feet and sliding back Jyo had grab both of Cliff’s forearms and started to drag him forward as a kick went straight towards Cliff’s gut. Unable to do much Cliff got his chest with the kick and went sending back a few feet with his feet still on the ground. With them sliding back a bit Cliff forced his forefoot on the ground as he brought his arms back to try and balance him out. It did not take long for Cliff to regain his balance and come to a complete stop.

Once he had stop Cliff’s right knee hit the ground as he bent over breathing hard and spitting saliva out of hi mouth. His left hand was over his chest while his right was in a fist with his on the ground.

There is a clear difference in speed, but that is never enough reason to give up on a fight. Taking a few more moments to regain his breath Cliff stagger his way back to his feet still breathing a bit hard, but controlling it more. Spreading his feet shoulder length apart firmly on the ground Cliff then brought his hands out and turn them into a strong fist that made his knuckles crack, and he quickly brought his elbows back so they where to be at the side of his ribs. Now Cliff was in a solid defense position ready for what will happen next.

Smiling Cliff said still breathing a bit hard, “Well do you want to finish this fight already? I still got a lot left in me to continue.”

[Jyo]

Jyo stopped letting Cliff recover and get to his feet. He might not be holding back. But Jyo put high value into things such ads honor in a spar. He wouldn't hit a person when they were down and in such a condition. But Jyo was not to be dissapointed. After a few seconds Cliff was up and clearly ready for more.

Jyo simply gave a small shrug.
"I am ready to keep going if you want. this has been a good fight. I rarely have to work hard in my battles. This is something I'de like to savor really." he said.

[fryman]

With eyes staring at Jyo Cliff smirked as he said challenging, “Well if you want to savor this fight then why don’t you come so we can continue this fight?”

When Cliff finish saying that Cliff then bent his knees slightly as he loosen and then tighten his fist again waiting for Jyo to come in for another attack. It was obvious that Jyo was extremely fast so going after him would be useless and that the only thing he can do is wait for Jyo to come in close enough and attack at the last possible second.
