Rikimaru steps forward and initiates his signature technique! Rapidly firing finger strikes to his opponents pressure points to attempt to bring him down like a sack of finger marked bricks!

Rikkimaru leaps upon his dazed foe to finish this particular adversary! After the first half of the volley he feels his opponent coming out of the daze and moving to counter only for his own muscles to seize up and betray him! The rest of the attack is finished and leaves him on the ground coughing and convulsing.
Murmurs of surprise and shock may be heard over the sound of battle.
Another guy charges Chikane with a one-two-three volley of straight punches fired from the hips! Chikane blocks the first two but the third nails her in the stomach. She lets out a painful cough before countering with a fan strike to the guy's exposed sternum with renewed ferocity, putting him down.
No name spots a shaky first year diverting his course from Rikkimaru towards himself and jabs once following up with a cross both hitting the face and putting the guy out. "Didn't think I'd be easier did you?"
"Now's not the time for corrections!" Diashida's opponent gloats leaping at him with a front kick. Swift as a fish in water Daiashida hops to the inside of the kick and thrusts his foot out blade-first, his opponent running right into it with all his force!
"Glad to see you're not afraid to lead by example" Daiashida smiles.
Kousaka gets in and grabs onto his opponents collar again, this time headbutting the guy as he does so. Though crude and unpracticed it proves enough of a distraction for him to throw the guy effectively.

The target Rikkimaru engages proves more capable than his last few vanquished foes. Keeping up with the attack's movement somewhat this savvy second year is able to launch a back-kick that hits Rikkimaru in the chest right as he swings down with his cane. Both succeed though Rikkimaru is unable to slash as far down with the cane as he would normally.
Unfortunately he finds that leaving the group even for a bit has proven problematic. Several more guys on the fringe surround Rikkimaru! Two punch at his chest and back respectively, one launches a circular kick at his face.
"Number one rule in dojo hunting and club wrecking, never let yourself get surrounded!" he can hear the club leader shout.
Chikane notices this happen and immediately begins moving to aid Rikkimaru. "Whip!" With an upward swing with her open fan she knocks her opponents chin upward before closing the fan with a "clap!" and driving the tip into his throat! Dispatching her current foe and clearing a path.
Daiashida throws a last punch to his previously kicked opponent to send him out before tightening the circle with No name and Kousaka.
"Just like any other Tuesday" No name remarks juking left and jabbing at another guy with his right.
"I'd say it's at least a little better" Kousaka smirks as he pivots on his left foot to avoid a punch, turns full circle while grabbing the punch and throwing another karate club patron.

Rikimaru will grab the stop the kick short with his arm and wrap around for a joint lock throw the person in the way of the other two attackers to cut them off as he tries to move back into his position with the new opening Chikane made.

With several minute yet deft movements Rikkimaru catches the kick halfway and locks the leg as best he can. Modifying his throw he is able to pull off the same effect, forcing his attackers to back off as they are hit or blocked off by their friend. Between this and Chikane's own efforts Rikkimaru finds his way back to the circle immediately. However one of his foes swoops in upon him with a barrage of straight punches.
Daiashida moves his left leg in a clockwise crescent movement bringing it across a karate club members face! The force rocking him quite a bit the guy backs off and rethinks his strategy.
No name pivots to the side of a front kick and follows up with a devastating hook/uppercut combination to his enemys jaw. His enemy rolls with it but seems to have lost a bit of steam.
Kousaka blocks a sweeping overhead chop with his right arm and moves in to begin grappling anew.

Rikimaru raises his cane swiftly and attempts to perform a quick snapping strike to his opponents face hoping his speed and reach will give his attack priority.

Rikkimaru's blow with his cane reaches his opponent before his opponent can reach him! However despite the impressive blow the guy keeps moving through it and connects with perhaps half of what he had expected. Rikkimaru is hurt but not too badly so taking a couple shots to the stomach and one to the left shoulder.
One of the others tries a similar strategy with Chikane who responds with a set of elegant parries. She knocks away most of the blows with a combination of compact and extended fan strokes but still takes a knock to the head and a shot to her right arm.
Daiashida's assailant goes down into a stance with his legs bent and focuses intensely. "Hoooouuuuuh!"
No name's enemy lashes out with a jumping snap kick aimed for his chest! No name takes the hit and is knocked down!
Kousaka no sooner gets a firm grip than he is forced off of his opponent. His opponent placing both of his arms on top of Kousakas and dropping down causing Kousaka to let go.

This next action depends on if no name is positioned next to me or not.
If he is Rikimaru will swing out with his cane at no names opponent so as to give him enough time to get to his feet.
If he isn't he will tell whoever is to help him while swinging a right hook at his opponents stomach to return the favor.

Rikkimaru makes a super cool swing with his cane intterupting a karate club patron's vicious downward punch aimed at a fallen friend. The hit to his chest breaks his focus just long enough for No name to roll to his feet commenting "Thanks, I owe you one".
No name then executes a vigerous straight right punch into the face of another attacker, this one closing in to take care of Rikkimaru's divided attention.
Chikane utilizes her fan to brush aside the guarding arm of her recently attacking opponent thus clearing an opening. With this opening she makes a pressure point attack with the tip of her fan, said tip finding its way into the karate club patrons ribs!
The invigorated karate club member now stands and punches straight for Daiashida's chest. Daiashida moves to divert the blow upward but finds that it crashes right through and into his face!
"Feel the true power of Karate!" the guy shouts.
Kousaka swats down an attacking fist and grabs his opponent by the arm moving in to set up a more advanced throw.

Rikkimaru follows up with a precise jab at his attackers throat putting him back. He kneels in a sort of submission once he's backed out of the still attacking and ever thinning crowd. This does not, however, stop another karate club patron from rushing Rikkimaru with a standard straight punch!
Chikane ducks a swooping chop aimed at her neck and gets in another hit with her fan to her opponent's arm! He shudders in pain and clutches his arm, scowling as he plots some kind of physical recourse!
No name pivots out of the way of a ferocious kick but gets tagged in the chest while doing so. This does not stop him however from launching a left cross that backs the guy up and forces him into a more defensive stance.
Daiashida flicks the point of his enemys impact with his finger. "I feel it, and honestly it that's all you've got I'm not impressed" he smirks while preforming a switch front kick to his enemy's chin, knocking him back.
Kousaka and his opponent are locked in a fierce struggle over the center of gravity. For whoever controls this will be victorious in the ultimate battle of throw or be thrown!

Rikkimaru's enemy, a bit more experienced than the last few he has dispatched begins fading back mid way through the attack. Though this mitigates the damage Rikkimaru still succeeds in bopping his enemy in the nose. It does not have its usual effect but still leaves the opponent very momentarily out of it.
Chikane's foe launches a backfist with the arm that was attacked earlier while following through with a punch from the second arm. Chikane attempts to sweep upwards with her fan to divert both but only diverts the first taking a hit to the right shoulder.
No name takes a short two steps outside the circle to agress his enemy with the good ol' one two! His enemy blocks both however and knocks him back into the circle with a punch of his own.
"How dare you!" Daiashida's enemy shouts swinging with a double hammerfist at the area where his left shoulder meets his neck. Daiashida goes down into his low stance again blocking up and punching forward twice, the first to wind his enemy and the second to send him back once the blow is blocked.
His opponent making a false move close to the end of the contest leaves Kousaka in perfect position to hook his opponents left leg with his and flip him over his shoulder. His opponent lands with a thud on his back! Needless to say this puts him out.

Taking excellent advantage of his opponents minimal stun Rikkimaru locks a wrist and then a leg and then sends the karateka bumbling into the crowd of onlookers not to return. Another of his comrades still in the fray steps up to attempt a reverse straight punch to Rikkimaru's stomach!
Chikane counter attacks the one who wounded her in the last exchange by striking the karate club patrons other arm with the tip of her fan. This time there is a noticeable quiver from more than just his arm. He shakes his head and backs off.
Daiashida blocks across his torso with a swing of his left arm held at a right angle. The block tosses aside a punch thrown by another enemy who has rushed him. Daishida counter attacks by drawing back his left arm and punching with his already chambered right.
"Looks like they're running out of challengers. I only count seven left" No name calls out to the rest of you while slugging a timid first year right in the chin.
"I hope so. This is getting exhausting" Kousaka comments while barely evading a front kick aimed at his midsection.
"Oh ho! feeling the fatigue are you! Perhaps you should train harder before coming here to fight!" shouts the Karate Club leader from somewhere in the back of the room.

"Only exhausting in the way that a double period of history would be." I hate people who talk shit when they are not even fighting.
Rikimaru does the windmill motion from earlier only this time he will grasp the wrist and wrench it with a lock as he does so.

Being at this so long has not only had the side effect of fatigue but also of greater adaptation! Flowing with the attacks he's seen SO many times already now Rikkimaru makes creative use of his arts flowing nature and his joint locking throw to send yet another enemy packing! A single first year student comes up right after and cries "I shall not be defeated!" initiating a swift jumping kick.
Another of the karate club members rushes at Chikane swinging with ferocious might behind his left fist. Chikane finds that ducking is the best course of evasive action and does so, trying to get a counter hit but being blocked by her opponents right arm!
Daiashida unleashes a rotating punch of his own drilling straight into his freshly knocked back enemy. Powering right under his attempt to punch Daiashida back yet another Karate club member is put out of commission.
The first year facing no name throws two off kilter punches, still a little off put by the hit he took. No name bounces to the left and to the right shrugging off the hits and nails him one final time in the face putting him down.
Kousaka attempts a grab at his opponents front but his enemy is savvy enough to move back out of the way and initiate a sweep kick.

It is a unique usage of the uppercut on Rikkimaru's part that produces unique results. While the uppercut upends his foe after he has ducked the kick the hit turns out to be precise enough to send his opponent back around full circle and onto his feet!
"Weird...but it works!" he cries out chopping at Rikkimaru's neck.
Chikane barely moves out of the way of her opponents counter punch before whapping his guarding arm away and then dragging the harder edge of the fan across his face!
Daiashida crosses his arms in front of him to stop a circular kick aimed at his face by a surprisingly limber second year. Catching and stopping the kick Daiashida then uses the hold to push up on the leg and up-end his opponent.
No name knocks down a light punch from his latest foe, dodges a heavy punch after that, then issues a hook to the body. His opponent taking the blow in stride.
Kousaka hops over the leg sweep and pauses just long enough to intercept his opponent as he gets up. Initiating at a much safer point than the time before Kousaka is able to haul his enemy up and in so as to grab and begin throwing him.

Rikimaru will bring up his right forearm to block then follow it up with a left cross.

Rikkimaru puts up his guard in time to shunt the chop to the side and counter with a left cross! The guy he is facing rocks a moment, shakes his head and goes down into a straight reverse punch aimed for Rikkimaru's stomach shouting "once more!"
Chikane ducks a kick from her current opponent and jabs him in the chest. This jab seems ineffective as the guy kicks again without hesitation, hitting Chikane in the left side.
Daiashida takes advantage of his still stumbling opponent to follow up with a quick side kick from the hip! It nails the karate club patron right in the solar plexus and sends him tumbling out, not to rise again.
No name fakes a left cross before turning out a very real left upper cut. This catches his opponent squarely on the chin and the blow is taken much less in stride as this particular karate club patron begins a rapid-fire volley of straight punches.
There are few moments of brief struggle as Kousaka makes his final positioning to throw his opponent. All ends in futility for his wriggling opponent as Kousaka's grip holds true and he throws the young man onto his back.

Rikkimaru gracefully diverts his opponents attack and preforms a sort of standing sweep directly after. Firmly held slanted leg meeting with his opponents unsteady feet. The young karate club patron goes stumbling a short distance away. Not quite out but on the verge.
Taking the blow she is dealt and dealing it back double Chikane rakes her fan up her opponents face at the chin to expose his throat and then hits him straight in the adams apple! This sends him coughing and shuffling away defeated!
No name brings his forearms in and up while shifting to the left and to the right. His defensive countermeasures significantly lessen the damage he takes from the karate club patrons blows. Once the volley completes No name unleashes a fierce hay maker that leaves yet another of the groups now sparse resistance down for the count.
The guy Kousaka threw onto his back gets back up in an impressive display of vigor and toughness! He launches a snap kick at Kousaka's mid section which knocks the breath from him and leaves him momentarily stunned.

Rikimaru motions for daishida to cover kousaka should he need it. Since Rikimaru finds it necessary for one more display before he finishes he rushes forward into a short barrage (only 3 or 4) pressure point strikes to take him down.

Daiashida does not see Rikkimaru's motion being too busy covering his friend Kousaka to begin with. No name picks up on the motion though and decides to help out too. A cross section of being kicked in the side and punched from the other is enough to take out the last guy before he can capitalize on Kousaka's stunned state.
Rikkimaru fires off a short burst of pressure point strikes to strategic locations on his final opponents body. With an arguably more subtle show of might the boy drops to his knees clutching himself and is retrieved by two others from the crowd.
"Ah ha ha! It seems we have reached a conclusion" the Karate Club leader booms from his position at the back of the room. Looking to the left everyone notices he is speaking more so about Jomei's confrontation than the larger one in the center of the room. Jomei stands huffing and puffing over a fallen Karate club patron, uniform hanging open. Seeing that his friends have finished up he starts walking towards you all to rejoin you.
"Well" the Karate Club leader says walking up to the group "it seems that the bar has been set. Those whom you defeated here no longer have any right to boast against you. Perhaps next time the rest of us will join in, but until then you may take your victorious leave".

Rikimaru will make his departure flanked by all his friends thinking about saying something snarky before he leaves but decides to let his victory speak for itself. Once he is actually out the door he will turn to the others and say with a happy grin "That was fun, we should do this more often guys."

"I agree. That was a pretty cool work out" Daiashida agrees.
"No one drawing knives, chains or wooden swords on us. It certainly was a nice change of pace" No name comments. Kousaka nods in agreement to this.
"You could almost say the same for us" Chikane says with a nod in Rikkimaru's direction. Probably adding a healthy list of other crazy things the two of you encounter.
One thing is for certain however. The next time any of the five of you walk down the halls more than just a few people are talking not just of what you did but of you. Hard love Daiashida, the No Name Delinquent , Kousaka of the Umeinko School of Judo, Chikane Yasuhiko : heir to the Yasuhiko sword style and The Demon Zatoichi!

Rikkimaru enters the gym that the boxing club occupies, everyone hard at work on either speed or heavy bag. However there is no one currently sparring in the center ring. Unusual all things considered.
A bruised and Boxing club leader stands with arms crossed watching a couple of shaky first years practice footwork. Stern and unyielding his gaze bears down on them only further skewing their concentration.
