101. Experience

[corrinesbell]

I've really gotta get back to training, so I'm looking to spar with a couple people. Anyone interested? I promise I'll go easy on you.

[[ooc: And I happen to really like writing out fight threads, but I know not all people do, so let me know which one you prefer if your character's interested.]]

[Pressuring in for an attack is all fine and dandy, but Baiken has just the move for breaking out of any pressure. With a roar, she lets loose a burst of ki designed to knock Sheena back and away from her.

And once she's got some space, she'll be charging in and dropping down to sweep a kick right for her opponent's ankles.]

[it's instinct to turn a knockback into a backwards roll to standing. This time, she falls to the sweep kick, but she's acrobatic enough to catch herself and spring forward at Baiken instead of just falling over]

[And as Sheena springs forward, Baiken swings an uppercut up to meet her halfway.]

[somehow she twists enough to take the hit in the shoulder instead of the face, but ow. Damn. Her only recovery is to jump away, on the defensive for now]

[Baiken eyes her for a brief moment, considering the options. Time to see if she can get her to move...]

Tatami gaeshi!

[She kicks her heel into the ground and poof -- sudden tatami mat swinging up out of the ground and falling right for Sheena. Surrounded by gently swirling cherry blossom petals. Baiken's never gotten the hang of making sure those don't appear.]

You're fighting me with a floor?

[She can dodge, and will do her best to dodge around the mat and come at Baiken from the side]

Kinda underestimating the element of surprise for a shinobi, ain't you?

[She was expecting that move and will meet Sheena head-on with a quick jab of the katana.]
