Raiden side-stepped grabbing the leg, and swung the body towards the ground. Raiden swept his leg towards Ren as he bounced from the impact of the ground puching him farther away with a blow to the side. 17 years in a monastary doesn't teach you to become a chump, kid Raiden thought to himself. I didn't fight all those kids to be sent home a failure. He tensed his body, and stopped bouncing around. Now he took a more firm stance and style. I like to call this stone tower...

Ren thought for a second and charged again, but as he raised his hand to throw a punch he did a feint and knelled down. Ren quickly threw a real punch at Raiden, aiming to hit him below the belt. (Note: Ouch... right in the baby badder bladder.)

Raiden's block was quick and resolute. He moved his hands over one another forming an 'x', and absorbed the blow. The move was slow, and focus enduring. He led the clenched fist away from his lower privacies, and led another slow punch to Ren. Because of it's slowness, Ren was able to dodge the move, with it barely skinning his cheek. However the ferocity of the blow left a scratch that trickled blood down unto the floor. "Keep your moves above the belt, and I'll keep mine from possible fatality."

Misaki's breathing began to regulate and shallow ever so slightly. Going into a deeper state of meditation she allowed her mind to wander into the upper levels of conciousness.

Ren grabbed the arm that Raiden punched with and twisted it to grapple him to the ground. Ren made Raiden lay on his stomach, Rem quickly put his knee on Raiden's shoulder and his left hand on his elbow. Ren grabbed Raiden's wrist with his other hand and began to pull up towards himself. "I thought you would have known the dangers of slower movements." Ren said as he pulled harder, hearing a pop from Raiden's elbow.

Raiden smiled, his head tilted downward, "You offend me. You believe me to be ignorant." He gritted his teeth as the elbow popped out of joint; still smiling at his adversary, "Slow moves open enemies to slow reactions." He bit down, and used the loose limb to his advantage. By bending his body in an abnormal fashion he rotated the pelvis cleaving his foot against the Ren's temple, knocking him off. Still continuing in a graceful fashion, he planted his feet and lifted himself up.

After forcing the limb back on, he took a knee before Tien. His disjointed limb hanging at his side, and his free hand half of a praying stance. "Excuse me master, but explain to me how a broken arm and a soon to be broken student, will help our progression? With all due respect, I would rather return to my form of training than stand with this murderous exercise."

*Raiko woke slowly, then he smiled* I'm fine..I'm used to sleeping out in conditions like this..I was trained this way..*He rubbed his eyes until he could see clearly in the dark. He pulled himself up into a sitting position and yawned.*

Saiya nodded, her black hair falling gingerly into her vivd crimson eyes. She blinked, turning her gaze upward to a distant star in the cloudy sky. She listened intently to one of the other master's students, still training hard. A small laugh was carried away by the gentle wind. She had, indeed gone to far. At least, what the other masters would call ' to far '. Her smile faded. It was not often that she doubted herself, and it was quite aggrivating that she would do so now. She raised her eyes suddenly. Something was not right.

" Raiko, do you"

She paused, slicing her words into a mere mumble of concern. There was a foreign energy here. Someone, something, she could not place. It was no doubtedly powerful, maybe more then one person? She was quite aware of the schools surroundings. It's japanese style building would be quite a spectacle in the modern world, hense it's location in the Kubikari mountain range. The journey alone would test a students strength. Many powerful clans lay nearby, clans with witch the school delt not of. They strongly resented the training of these budding martial artists so nearby their land.
Saiya smirked.
Many times had she weilded of those believing they were samurai, who truly thought they could overtake the academy.

Sighing, Saiya stepped away from Raiko. She needed to warn Tien and the others ofo what might be to come. An eerie howl echoed off the mountain, drifting an aggrivating comformation to her ears.
Damn it. So you sense it too, Kuro?

Nodding at her student she walked on through the darkness. She noted the instructor a few yards away. She stepped beside him, her eyes shaded.

" Keep your gaurd up. "

She whispered.

(Well... I dont know if I can rejoin this >.> Uh... I'll make a new character later, who has a tendancy to be rather.... Late... 🙂 )

{ 😛. sure you can, welcome back }

The boy came jogging up the rather discreet road, and knew he was late from the looks of everything. Normally it was only a few hours, but a couple days? Damn! Well, he swung open the gate when he got there, and walked discreetly into the dojo, hoping not to cause a scene. He set down his stuff in a room, from the looks of it he was rooming with someone, and then walked back out into the garden, wondering where everyone was.
"Well, guess I should try to make friends!" He laughed, and walked around the rather large area, noticing no one in particular... He sighed, and sat down on a stone bench... Looks like that's what he gets, being late and all.

(Okay, slow way down. First off, you are a normal human, you can't be some hardened warrior. What would be the point of having him come to a martial arts school if he is already tougher then everyone else. Second, being a normal human you can't bend or contort like some crazy snake man, because you are not one! Third, Ren had no intention of breaking your arm, he just had you on a basic submission hold. (seriously I've practiced martial arts and that was one of the first locks I learned.) I'm sorry if I sound mean, I just want you to know what's going on.)

[1st. He's a monk, a Shoalin monk. Because most of his training composes of both a physcial strain and mental ones, pain is taught on a different level. For example, (because I've learned this from personal experience), the pain from a broken bone is instantaneous (like all pain). Using the numbness to distort the body in a means that many would find disgusting (in all aspects of the word) and unnatural, is one of only many endurments these monks live through. Their entire life is based on bearing pain as a tool for accomplishments. Pain is weakness of the mind

2nd. This one rides on more of a side note than actual contestment to your quote. Your failure to specify what type of popping noise was made when Ren made the pin, left me to assume the popping noise that I would have made it out to be with the limited details entailed to it's description. Perhaps if you were aiming for more of a hold down pin, than an actual submissive one, than it is your responsibility as an RPer to ensure such details are conveyed.

Lastly, your student didn't seem all that naive as well. If this is a school where only the best will be trained, don't expect punk students to go walking through the doors. Than again, the move wasn't as complex as you think. This is the pin (through your description):

Ren made Raiden lay on his stomach, Rem quickly put his knee on Raiden's shoulder and his left hand on his elbow

If this is so, most of your weight would be on the upper torso, not the lower back. Because of this little overlook of details, you make it possibly for free movements in the torso and hip/joint area. With the help of already bent legs and a craned back, you can pretty much reach someone's cheek with your ankles. Also, you were kicked off the body when I followed my semi-circle to turn me over and get me back on me feet. But surly you must give me credit for atleast stopping and recognizing the pain. But then again, I don't want to seem mean 😉]

Misaki's eyes snapped open, though still glazed over she took note that the water was boiling quite rapidly now. However she did not move one single muscle, only waiting to see if her master noticed the change.

Second, Ren has only been using basic techniques so far these are things you could easily pick up from movies or books of the martial arts. Ren is no master, he isn't as strong or fast as some of the other students and that is why he wants the training. Ren has had some experience with fighting but it is nothing any normal person couldn't handle.

There is really only one type of pop you hear coming from a joint, that is the same type of pop you hear from cracking your knuckles. If it were any kind of injury I would have said it was a snap or rip, the kind of sound you hear if your tendons are being damaged.

Lastly, I know of the training of the shoalin monks. I have studied the northern style shoalin kung fu and implemented the breath control and physical exercises into my training. The training takes years to make you resilient enough to withstand to pain of a broken bone, after two years I still feel pain from a solid punch. You would need to spend your entire life in the monastery. And if you did that, what would you need this school for? All I'm saying is that you can't be resistant to that level of pain at this point in your training, you are still just a kid. You can hide the fact that you are in pain, but even that would take a lot of concentration. I broke my nose during a fight once, it took everything I had to keep fighting with a strait face.)

Misaki made no other movement but the shaking of her head, her periferal vision caught her masters swift movements and she took note of every action he performed and stored them in her memory for later use.

Misaki grasped the cup gently with both hands and bowed in return as she did so.
