Martial Arts Club: Isaac vs Kamereon!

Ah the well awaited Martial Arts club meet! It was something Isaac was looking forward to since he joined U.A. Granted he did not know about the reputation the club's leader had and was more so joining for the fun of the sport but when he did hear of the infamous Darren it only fueled his passion to join the club! Still although he really wanted to spar with his senpai he knew he was a year behind and that he barely practiced his martial arts as is so he really needed to start training more. As luck would have it the first marital arts club activity was, naturally enough a spar between students. Isaac was pumped to get started but before he could pick a partner everyone had already gotten one. Oh well no worries! For now he thought he'd just sit back and watch some fights.

Isaac was wearing a fairly common white martial arts gi which was white in colour and tied together with a similar colour belt, even though unlike in some martial arts did not distinguish his skill level. Speaking of Isaac was standing near a, well ring wouldn't quite be a correct term as it was just a small series of mats to lay out the area. Isaac was standing around looking at the current spar taking place. Luckily enough the Isaac was saw another first year. He had a mutation type quirk but was wearing special gear to keep that under wraps and by the looks of things he was waiting for a partner too.

So Isaac went up to the boy! "Hey there. You looking for a sparring partner?" He'd ask with a smile. If he agreed Isaac would get a nearby senpai and hop into the nearest fighting ring. "I'm Isac by the way nice to meet you." He said getting ready to fight.

Isaac's scaly new acquaintance seemed to be taken a little off guard by him. He was not sure weather it was his enthusiasm or just asking him to fight. Isaac just assumed it was the former since they were in a martial arts club room so if he wasn't there to fight it seemed like and odd place to be. Sure he could have been watching but then why would he be wearing that protective gear? It had to be his enthusiasm. Despite the size and various other differences in their appearances Isaac spoke to Kamereon, or Kame like anyone else. Since he did a lot of street performances walking up to strangers and having conversations was second nature to the boy and it wasn't as if Kame was the only mutated person he had ever met either. Heck Isaac's quirk technically counted as a mutation even though it barely changed how his body look. This was partly another reason why he was never too intimidated by people with vastly different looking features. But he was always aware of them. After all if he was allowed that tail of his would be some weapon to use. Isaac kept this in mind as they entered the admittedly odd looking ring.

Although their meeting had been a tad awkward it did not stop them from getting ready to fight. So they stopped a meter apart. Isaac would have preferred a little more room but the match was about to start so he did't complain. Isaac took his own stance now. His knees slightly bent, one foot slightly in front of the other as he bounced on his toes slightly, subtly shifting his weight around to be able to move at a moment's notice. His hands were up near his head, his elbows pointing downward. Isaac was totally focused now. Controlled breathing, steady stance and fierce glare. His red eyes were now glaring at Kame as he waited for the match to begin.

DING!

And they were off! Isaac noticed the smile on Kame's face. He couldn't tell if it was because of the lizard's eagerness to fight or at something else. Either way Isaac returned the smile, although it nearly gave off a more sinister impression as his red eyes were piercing Kame and his eventual movements. Or so he led himself to believe.

Kame's lunge was a lot quicker than Isaac would have assumed which did not put him in the most ideal of situations. Becuase of the rather unique sort of lunge also the read on it and Kame was a little bit more difficult but not impossible. Issac took a deep breathe and kept calm as he tried to react to the Lizard boy's movements. First came the jab. It was quick yes, however Kame overestimated his own strength in this regard, or perhaps it was simply to test Isaac's guard and reflexes? Or maybe Isaac was over thinking that part, but the jab was coming right for Isaac's guard. Since he had his hands up near his face it only took a small movement from the blue haired boy to redirect the trajectory of the jab by moving his own arm to meet with Kame's. The Jab would now barely graze his hair which was tied up in a bun at the back of his head while Isaac moved his hand to try and grab on his opponent's arm or wrist to prevent him from pulling it back and putting himself in a better situation. This was done as soon as he tried to parry the jab since it was the most optimal time.

Next came the uppercut but it was quite a bit slower than the jab. Given the height difference of about ten centimeters Kame was quite a bit taller making his uppercut to Isaac's gut become more of an underarm punch, something easier to telegraph. Even still, After dealing with the jab, Isaac would shift his weight forward and due to the close proximity lunge forward with his knee, throwing it upwards to try and hit Kame around his hip area. The movement would be even smoother should Isaac manage to grab onto Kame's wrist/arm because then he would try to pull it towards him to make the attack that much harder to get around. The attack wouldn't be the strongest especially if Isaac couldn't grab onto his opponent's wrist but it was not a totally offensive attack. No, it was also there to try and guard from uppercut and combined with his other hand, the second punch would have very little room to even get to his gut. Isaac's knee and lower arm would be hit but it was something he could live with. Something else he needed to do was shift his weight back, so he'd use his right hand to make an open palm to strike at whatever part of Kame he could to push himself back somewhat so he could move back another meter or so and regain the full control of his balance. Provided all that worked out Isaac would be waiting for another attack from Kame. Even if not everything went to plan Isaac was confident in his defense and guard to not take too much damage from anything Kame threw out.

It seemed that Isaac misjudged Kameron's reaction and speed and he managed to retract his jab before the blue haired boy managed to grab onto his wrist. Good to know. At the very least he had a better gauge of the lizards speed. He was definitely faster than most! Regardless of speed however technique would win out as it seems after his knee landed it's blow. Hissing in response Isaac figured that his opponent may have taken more damage from the attack. After all it didn't have a huge amount of power behind it and it was a stale hit since he couldn't use the lizard's arm as added momentum. Maybe he was just frail? Something that had to be considered for later. As for now Isaac continued with his attacks.

Next was the palm strike. It also landed and to Isaac's surprise made a drastic shift in the fellow first year's weight. Almost comical as the attack was just meant to push him back while also using the extension of his arm to move himself back to make distance. Isaac couldn't forsee such a unique aproach to the attack and while Kamereon fell backwards and Isaac tried to move back, the lizard's kick was too quick. At this point Isaac's leg reached the ground again while his arms could have been used to defend but as he took the hit to the chest, an extra oomph from the opponents added leg length he realized that his Gi was being grabbed. Even with the covered slipper like attack the Lizard managed to latch onto his clothes. Taking this time Isaac grabbed onto the leg with with both hands then tried to turn around mid way to get the limb and his shoulder into a clamp so he couldn't move it. He'd try to angle it so that he was grabbing at his opponent's calf while pulling the opposite direction so he couldn't retract it, thus making him unable to pull Isaac down. Isaac also moved forward slightly to make it that much harder for Kameron to pull him down. If this all work the next step would be a quick one. He'd simply move around to twist his oppoent's leg into a type of hold, hoping it would be enough to keep him there.

Should this not work and he would be dragged to the ground Isaac would still try to make a similar hold onto the leg. Isaac would also try to fall underneath Kameron's leg and with some grip of the limb it would be easier to do, not elegant by any means but doable. Next was the slightly tricky part as Isaac now how to move his lower half so he could wrap his legs around Kameron to get him into a leglock. Although Kameron would try to roll he'd have a difficult time in doing this now that Isaac had shifted his weight around a little better while falling and on the ground. Not to mention in terms of strength and weight both were roughly the same, Kameron having a light advantage in the latter but only slightly. With this position, Isaac could now twist Kameron's leg that little bit easier so if his opponent tried to retaliate with a few hits to his back with his free arms then Isaac would apply enough pressure to the first year's leg to warrant him to stop. Not to mention a few heel kick if he could manage it but Isaac preferred to keep the hold as tight as he could. Isaac's leg was just over the lizard's tail meaning he could use it if he wanted to but Isaac figured he wasn't allowed to, especially since he had to wear gloves over his hands.

That is of course if everything had worked out as he wanted. There was a few variables that could happen after all. But the man thing Isaac was sure to do was grab onto Kaemron's leg. It was a natural instinct for him as a fighter to do. A lot of times people kicked out of habit and any high kicks could easily be grabbed and reversed on the user. If the kick was lover Kameron would have done more damage but be helpless on the floor so his plan was solid. Especially if he somehow managed to get the roll or another move off but should things pan out for Isaac there wouldn't be much room for that.

Thankfully though the hold was successful and the match was quickly given to Isaac. It seemed that the senpai who was refereeing the game was a little too cautious and didn't want any students to get any broken bones, even if there was a slight possibility. "Good game Kameron!" He said with a small bow. "I hope we can do it again some time!" After a brief chat Isaac would then go back into the changing rooms, get out of his gi and into his uniform.
