(YB) Tiny Vs. Kitsune Haru... (Nekokaburi Judging!)

[Ciaran]

"With pleasure, Ryan-san."

Haru raises his hands to shoulder height and rolls his weight forward onto the balls of his feet, then launches into the kata called 'East Wind Dances Below the Marsh.' The gold embroidery on his sleeves gleams like flame as his hands leap forward to unleash a flurry of strikes upon Tiny.

The east wind dances below the marsh; scatters the onslaught of the flame!

 

[Rathan]

Tiny quick draws a kama from the back of his belt and assults his opponent with it....


The kama assaults the village; shreds the rising of the mire!

 

[nekokaburi]

"You execute 'East Wind Dances Below the Marsh' with a grace that would bring honour to Ryosei herself, Haru-san. Tiny, however, shows dedication to Sun Tao's maxim <i>know your enemy</i>, and would seem to have studied the techniques of the Fox Clan. The giant not only provides a brutal defense against your kata, but also a strong attack. Point to Tiny."

Tiny makes the gracefull cherry blossom style look like it was made as a front line attack as he tries to break Haru in half with it....


The cherry blossom breaks the ravine; scatters the storm of the star and skillfully defends against the violence of the bird!

Edit: Flavor text wording

 

[Ciaran]

"Thank you for your kind words, Nekokaburi-sama."

Shifting his stance slightly, Haru slides forward and to the left, essaying a pair of feints in the Dragon and Serpent styles before moving in close to attempt a powerful blow at Tiny's head.

The mace dominates the marsh; conceals the efforts of the reptile!

 

[nekokaburi]

<b>Point Tiny</b>

"The roots of the cherry blossom tree may sunder the ravine through time and patience. Traditionally a technique of subtlety and endurance, however in Tiny's hands it becomes a hammer. Nonetheless, a powerful hammer."

"This was not an easy point to adjudicate - both attacks were strong, and facing defenses which were unsuited. Tiny wins this point through a marginally superior attack and defense. Tiny's defense also displays a partial understanding of the chi of the location."

OOC: I know I'm supposed to post last... but I'm here now so I'm gonna post... not like it matters anyways with two white belts....


Tiny tring to rend his opponent with his hnds like a panther would do it's prey.....


The panther obliterates the marsh; suddenly avoids the punch of the body!

 

[Ciaran]

Haru demonstrates yet another of the Marsh katas by dropping backwards beneath Tiny's attack, allowing the big man's hands to flash past his face as he whips his legs around at ankle height to sweep Tiny off his feet

The cherry blossom annihilates the marsh; removes the offensive of the field!

 

[nekokaburi]

<b>Point Kitsune Haru</b>

"The panther's claws flash through empty air, while the Marsh kata strikes true. A close point, but Haru-san's attack was measurably stronger, and his Marsh kata is structured to defend against such an attack as Tiny's"

[Rathan]

Tiny unleashes a mindbendingly awsome move as he tries to rend his opponent limb from limb....


The nunchaku rends the swamp and slaughters the lash; dances in the midst of the chi of the canine!


OOC: swamps.. swamps everywhere...
