It's All About Strikes

No one said it would be easy. The Amazon managed to raise her hands and make an obstacle between her head and Charlotte's kick. The Frenchwoman knew that even her blocked kick was dangerous for head, however, she hoped that this kick would be successful. In any case, the American girl staggered, Charlotte was going to continue the onslaught when suddenly her sparring partner suddenly took a step forward.

It seems that the Amazon was determined to use her main arguments - superior weight and physical strength. And for this, she locked up with Charlotte, grabbing her neck and elbow, the Frenchwoman had no choice but to do the same. Now the girls were crushing each other in an attempt to take advantage, but the pink-haired girl had no illusions. Her physical strength was less and therefore she knew that she would not stand long.

- Uhhh... it's not for nothing that they call you the Amazon, - the girl said, tensing the muscles of her arms and legs, - but do you know why they call me Sand Lizard?

She suddenly eased her pressure, stopping resisting Alaina's strength. Thus, the Amazon should have moved sharply forward and literally for an instant lose her balance. And Charlotte hoped to take advantage of this in order to turn her back on her opponent, continuing to hold her by the elbow and neck, and then throw her with the help of thigh and lifting of leg. Alaina was superior to Charlotte in weight and was far from a feather, however, judo could helped to cope with the difference in weight categories. And so, Charlotte made a bet on a modified thigh-throw called hane goshi.

If she managed to throw Alaina on the mat, then Charlotte was not going to let go of Alaina's hand. Instead, the Frenchwoman wanted to twist this arm and wrist, and then put her left knee on Amazon’s right cheek to press her head to the floor.

- Sand lizards are one of the few animals who can adapt to their new habitat, - said Charlotte, answering her own question, continuing to twist the Amazon's arm.

The Frenchwoman did not want to injure the hand of her sparring partner, so she did everything smoothly, without jerks. However, when Alaina began to change her position, the master of martial tried to twist her arm and wrist harder. But still, the American girl achieved what she wanted and soon Charlotte felt a strong blow to her knee, with which she pressed the head of her rival to the ring.

- Auuuch, - the girl gasped in displeasure.

No, she was not going to risk her knee, reasonably judging that her legs were very important. And so Sand Lizard removed the knee from the Amazon's cheek. Although the pink-haired girl was not going to start all over again, because so far she was still in a winning position and her plans were to leave everything that way.

Therefore, Charlotte was about to release the elbow of Alaina's captured arm, while continuing to hold her wrist. Putting her free hand on Alaina’s shoulder, the girl wanted to try to sharply turn captured arm in the opposite direction, pushing her sparring partner in the shoulder. Thus, Lotta wanted to roll the Amazon on stomach so that, if successful, bend her arm at the elbow behind her back, thereby applying another simple but effective hammer lock hold.

Having laid Alaina on her stomach, Charlotte was confident that the American girl would reduce her ardor. However, Sand Lizard was surprised when the Amazon began to get up. Lotta raised her left eyebrow, surprised at the endurance of this girl, and then arched her sparring partner's arm even more, making the angle of elbow bend more unnatural.

But even so, Alaina continued on her way, rising to her feet. Charlotte strained her hands harder, trying to hold on to her rival. Can say that the Frenchwoman simply did not believe that the Amazon could continue to ignore the pain in her hand. However, everything happened just like that, because Alaina got to her feet and before Sand Lizard could take the next step, she was hit with the elbow on her head.

- Ah! Diable! - swore Charlotte in French.

Not having time to protect herself, her head in all its glory felt the impressive power of Alaina. Charlotte mechanically let go of Alaina’s hand and staggered back a step, putting her left hand to her head. Her eyes darkened a little and she lost orientation in space for a few moments.

Perhaps Charlotte was too presumptuous this time. It was her mistake, she should not have thought that she would be able to keep Alaina in the hold, all the more so that so far both of them were full of powers. But a mistake is a mistake and the Frenchwoman paid for this mistake.

And while she was putting her head in order, the Amazon was not determined to rest. Maybe her hand got enough pain, but it would be foolish to think that it would stop her. And Sand Lizard still was not yet ready to withstand the next movement of the American girl.

- Gaaaah! - burst out of Sand Lizard's mouth.

Alaina's legs crashed into Charlotte's chest, knocking the ground out from under her legs and taking air from her lungs. The pink-haired girl fell on the mat, clutching her chest and trying to take a deep breath, because now she had a rather noticeable lack of oxygen. And this is not to mention the burning pain in the chest after the running dropkick of the Amazon.

Maybe everything was not absolutely bad. However, things were definitely not going very well. Charlotte tried to normalize her breathing and make her head start to think clearly again. However, she did not receive time for this. Alaina did not waste time, turning the Frenchwoman on her stomach. Sand Lizard was about to crawl away, but at that moment the American girl sat on Charlotte's lower back. And she already knew what would happen next.

- Shhhhhhhh, - the girl hissed.

The Amazon put Charlotte's hands on hips, and then locked the pink-haired girl in her own submission hold. And damn it, it was unpleasant. The Frenchwoman's back was chained with aching pain, now she was saved only by the fact that she was flexible enough and therefore everything was not catastrophically bad.

“Pull yourself together”, - the girl thought.

The girl strained her arms, neck and back, resisting the hold of the Amazon. Charlotte was not going to stay in this position. And so she began to twitch from side to side, trying to ignore the pain, she was not going to give Alaina the opportunity to feel confident on her feet.

Charlotte was called Sand Lizard, not only because of adaptation to different conditions. Lizards were incredibly flexible. And she was too. Therefore, Charlotte was about to bend her right leg at the knee, flat-pressing it to the mat, just like a frog before jumping. In this way, she would be able to rest her foot on the mat and then straighten her leg, creating pulse in an attempt to throw Alaina from her back.
