[Siiri's Scrapbook] HOTNESS goes in here

[Ashivirsthargon]

I have it on good authority that a Sthargon / Siiri duel that evolves into wrestling on the ground that evolves into physical passion would be, and I quote:

...the hottest thing that could happen to Mizahar, I say.

That's not a suggestion, per se, but this is the hotness thread.

[Siiri]

Hey Tarama! Only a guy would have chosen the Goddess of Nerds All Over The World as an avatar. ^_~

And I'm open to having you as a nemesis Sthargon. XD

[Tarama]

Wait... That's Felicia Day?

Or is there another nerd goddess out there?

[Siiri]

Lolz. That's Milla Jovovich.

If I was a zombie in any zombie movie, I'd want her kicking my ass.

So I was thinking I can use this to explain, or at least illustrate, some of the unarmed moves Siiri have performed and will perform through the rest of her story. I visualized her fighting style as a variation of Yaw-Yan, in that it has jiu-jitsu thrown in with the kickboxing striking base. Or maybe it's really a jiu-jitsu base with kickboxing thrown in for striking. I believe that a large part of an unarmed fight, if unstopped, will be fought on the ground - a grappling match. This is where the jiu-jitsu techniques play a large role. In fact, her clan name, Snapping Jaws, comes from her family imitating crocodiles to devise their own form of martial arts. Once a croc's jaw snaps close on a limb its victim, it won't let go until that limb is ripped off. Certain attacks of jiu-jitsu are similar to this.

But anyway, I digress, I'm supposed to be illustrating the Snapping Jaws' techniques. >.< I'll only be posting offensive techniques; defensive ones are important, yes, but can sometimes get quite boring.

In Love and Hate, Siiri did a couple of moves in her match against Goro. The first is simple enough: the flying knee that her mother razzed her so much about.

When they fell to the ground, Siiri applied an inside shoulder lock on Goro. I can't find any images for this particular move, but if you want to watch the move executed, here's a link to a clip where Ashivi - I mean Frank Mir applied it perfectly on Pete Williams (0:55 mark).

Finally, Siiri beat Goro with a lucky armbar. I found a cool HOT image depicting the move along with a blurb to explain how it is applied:

Interesting bit of trivia: the idea that most fights end up on the ground comes from a statistic released from the Los Angeles Police Department that over 60% of their unarmed confrontations with criminals end up on the ground. Of course, this statistic fluctuates wildly depending on who is quoting it. I've seen it go as high as 90%.

Well, if you're the police, this makes sense. You're trying to subdue and probably handcuff the guy. But this has been floated around the martial arts world like some kind of truism so much so that nobody even bothers to challenge the claim.

A lot of fights do end up on the ground. A lot of fights also involve weapons and multiple people - situations in which grappling is terrible. The last man I saw get killed tried to grapple a man who was hiding a knife.

So, I think you're wise to round out the grappling piece.

I guess that wasn't very hot, though. :/

[Siiri]

Oh, I was talking about pure unarmed and one on one. And it's true what you said about stabbings, I should know, it happens where I am on a daily basis. It's weird how some groups of people have such a low regard about life, but there it is.

[Ashivirsthargon]

Yep.

Now, back to your thread.

[Siiri]

Cool. Not many women can pull off having a black eye and still look cute and HOTTER for it.

Case in point:



Hey this is turning out to be a Carano fan thread! Lolz

[Siiri]

Move over Carano. Until you start fighting again, this girl's going to be my little baby:

That's Sarah Kaufman, Canadian kickboxer. Watching her fight vids right now and MAN, is she exciting to watch! No hesitation, no backing up, this girl's like a wolverine! Now I'm wishing they aired Strikeforce here, I want to watch her title fight tomorrow...guess I just have to wait for it in youtube.

*walks off to the corner to be depressed*
