Second Pillar Challenge (Ali/Open)

Leon watched the large guy and his compatriot. He had helped them in the gym the day of the attack on Riot, and was not let down by their skills and abilities. It was beyond him at the time, but now he felt he could handle this. When the guy said his name Leon would smile and pass the sign to someone else. He'd walk up to Ali and give his right hand for a shake.

"Yep that's me. You're Ali then?"

Leon would wait for the response and hopefully the hand shake. Before responding to the question.

"It's nothing overly noble, or very complicated to tell the truth. I believe I am strong, because my friends have helped forge my fists. I will protect them either way, however. Saya is beyond my abilities from our four fights so far. By becoming the pillar directly behind her, I will declare my intentions to make a difference in this school as well as make Saya my rival. I will continue to better myself and those around me, surpass her and become School Captain. I will accept no other path."

Leon would return the bow with his own traditional bow. He would back up some as well, turning so the right side of his body faced Ali. Lining his body with his right arm he would bend his legs slightly. His left arm would cross his chest with his hand open covering the right side of his face. He would nod to signal he was ready, upon seeing Ali's nod it was on.

Only slowly, cause Leon hadn't seen Ali's capabilities in the Riot too well. He'd inch his way over until the range was good for him. Leon would step in with his left leg sending his open left hand from his face towards Ali's face as a distraction so he could try and kick with his right leg in a low ankle sweep. If that worked he would bring his right fist up in an uppercut for Ali's hopefully falling form.

When Leon saw the reaction time of Ali he was amazed, however he had been fighting everyone at this school, Saya on multiple occasions after that this was no issue. When he saw Ali on his way back up Leon was also already on the move swinging a hard ass punch leaning down and twisting his body with his right fist coming down for Ali's head as he was on his way up. He wasn't sure how much he had adapted his Judo throws to actual street fighting, but this he wondered if it would be a test.

Already he was showing how adapted he was to falls as Judo teaches various techniques on how to fall and recover without taking virtually any damage. Ali was going to be a troublesome fight for sure.

~At this angle?!~

Yeah Leon was surprised, but the guy had the muscle tone to hold any odd angle, but this guy had the agility to move like that. Leon felt the palm strike and the grip, he was tossed, and all he could do was use his own fall training to bend and roll back to his feet, hopping backward in a slow twist bringing his left elbow around in an attempt to catch Ali as he got back upright in the head/upper back area.

He knew jumping about against a Judo fighter was unsafe, but Leon was an aerial acrobat when he fought, so he was doing his best to keep himself from becoming the tossing bag in this fight by jumping when a regular opponent would be on the floor.

Leon made contact and it was a clean hit that stumbled his opponent, so he pivoted on his heel and charged keeping on Ali, waiting to see where he came to a stop before going full speed. Waiting for the moment when he was within attack range dropping on to his left side, pushing with his hands and left leg to send his right foot shooting up into the pubic area of Ali's midsection to bend him forward and push him into the air slightly.

If that worked Leon would drop the foot quickly pushing up with his hands to get into a crouch as he sprang his feet to life throwing a right palm up hopefully into Ali's diaphragm, gripping the cloth there if that worked he would aim to throw Ali straight down into the ground. Where Leon would proceed to kick the ever loving shit out of the guy.

Leon wasn't expecting that big mother fucker to grab hold and now they where going to hit the ground together. Leon tucked using his smaller size to make sure he felt very little of the ground. Given that one arm was over the grip and the other below it was an odd hold, but the squeeze was making it hard to breath and hurt a lot.

Leon would bring his elbow down into the bicep of Ali while his lower arm worked around to grab Ali's ribs and squeeze hoping to break one or two between his fingers.
