Red Ranger has posed:
It's the next morning after the competitors arrival to the island and The Red Ranger is waiting on the platform that's been designated for his first fight, the 17 year old ranger dressed in loose red cotton pants tied at his waist with a sash his morpher left in his bedroom along with his communicator. A matching red tank top and luchador mask conceals his identity. Having arrived early he warms up in his corner stretching, and shadow boxing, his arms covered in a light sheen of sweat as he waits for his competition to arrive.

Green Arrow has posed:
The tourney grounds, around noon. The day after has a decent amount of spectators, with the tournament arena more than wide enough for a close combat spar. Green Arrow has been sticking mostly to his own room and the gym, getting prepared for the bout.

For his part, Green Arrow comes out wearing a green martial arts kimono, with a breathable balaclava over his face, reflective lenses over his eyes. His backpack quiver has been locked in place at the entry, and the control device that hangs from his ear is very obvious under his right ear. Seems the emerald archer likes to keep his equipment in sight at all times here. His Green Arrow suit is also placed inside the locked storage pod near the quiver.

It takes a few moments for the older man to double check the locks, before he starts walking into the arena, "A luchador mask? I thought those went out in the 90s." Green Arrow quips, the ear device distorting his voice as he heads over, "you've got a young mans build under all of that." His arms cross when he gets within a dozen feet of Jason, "Red Ranger. I think I've met you before in Starling." It's phrased as a statement, not a question, with his tone.

Red Ranger has posed:
     "My other outfit's a suit of red armor Tony Stark would probably want to give a once over." he replies with a shrug. "So I had to come up with something on short notice, this seemed like a good way to go." He explains cracking his neck. "But yeah, we met, Gangbanger place, you blew up half their building." he explains.

Green Arrow has posed:
"I only blew out their armory. It was very controlled." Green Arrow protests, before he goes into a classic aikido defensive stance, hands in front and legs spread just so, "I have a number of different outfits for different occasions. My usual suit is kinetic and ballistic resistant, so I can't where it here. I've been using this for practice, so good a time as any to use it for public bouts."

"Ready?" Green Arrow inquires.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger slaps his hands to the side of his hips and bows sharply for a moment before he takes a standard karate pose, left leg forward arms up in a defensive posture. "Just empty hand? no weapons?" he asks politely waiting for Green Arrow's answer before he'll start circling looking for any openings in Green Arrow's defenses..

Green Arrow has posed:
There are no openings. He holds himself quite well with that stance, and experience has ingrained plenty of muscle memory into his form. He may be a grandmaster with perfect aim with bow based weaponry, but he's clearly an expert martial artist as well. "Makes it even all around. The only armed style I practice with is escrima and a form of staff fighting I built myself, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be interested in those."

The circles himself, occasionally feinting an aggressive attack, before pulling back.

After about fifteen seconds of this sizing up though, Green Arrow goes on the offensive... he's /far/ faster than his build would bely, running right at Red Ranger and going right for a series of controlled but precise punches, trying to get through to the head, torso, and shoulders. These are not one shot kills, but rather an obvious attempt at overwhelming Jasons own speed.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger brings his arms in, wrists turning so the back of his hands are facing Green Arrow as he uses his arms and fists to protect his head, twisting his torso to take the blows on his shoulders when the fists are coming in low enough, tensing his abdomen when Green Arrow comes in for the gut punches, making soft little 'woof' sounds with every blow to help lessen them. Hitting his bare arms and torso is a lot like hitting a side of beef, his musculature a lot denser than a normal humans.

    Keeping his arms up peeking through a small gap between them Red Ranger leans into Green Arrow's punches trying to rob them of their strength before he tries a snap kick with his wrestling boot covered foot at the Emerald Archer's ankle and knee with his more powerful right foot his legs becoming a blur as he tries to attack his lower body.

Green Arrow has posed:
He sees the sweep coming, and when the foot reaches out, Green Arrow rolls to the side, using the momentum to bring himself around to Jasons back in an attempt to bring up his fists and drive them both into the back of Jasons knees; an obvious attempt to diminish the younger mans mobility.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger gets hit, his knees buckling, but not popping like a normal humans would. Before he's touching the ground even Red Ranger is twisting and rolling away from Green Arrow, to put some distance between them, his body twisting as he does a kicking spin on his back that lets him slap the mat and bring himself back up to his feet. "Couple of years ago that would have torn my ACL.." he quips shifting his stance, right foot forward.. left foot, back to his right to lunge towards Green Arrow before backing away again jumping back a good eight feet before landing lightly on his feet.. "You use your feet any when you're fighting.. All you've done is swing punches so far.. "

Green Arrow has posed:
The lunge connects with his chest as Green Arrow is flipping himself back to his feet from dodging the spin kick. It doesn't do much damage, but he does grunt as he breathes out to mitigate, "when it makes sense. It's a lot harder to control the power of your blows when you're rolling." Green Arrow replies as he gets to his feet. He switches into an offensive oriented karate stance, "you're not half bad. I didn't think you were some dumb kid trying to pretend you're better than you are, but you have a solid foundation. I can tell you have some enhancements though." He gives a nod to the younger man, "those arms feel like meat walls. I've dealt with that sort of thing before with steroid users, but you're pretty amped in comparison."

He's slowly circling again, shifting stances as he goes so it's hard to ready his intentions, "you seem like you've had training though."

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger's hands loosen from fists as he lunges forward again, using the power in his legs to quickly close the distance as he starts to make open palm kung-fu style strikes with the tips of his fingers towards Green Arrow's face and torso putting a little more of his available strength into the blows to try and push past any blocks he might put up. "Second Dan, in Karate and Judo, first in Taekwondo, and Kenpo." he says peppering his flurry of blows with his words. "I've done tournaments since I was 6, can't do 'em now, wouldn't be fair to regular people, figured I'd get some challenge and a learning experience here." he says...

Green Arrow has posed:
He doesn't so much block as dodge, redirecting Jasons movements at the last moment to bring himself inside his defenses. One of Green Arrows arms comes around his shoulders and neck as he strikes out, while a leg comes under and around one of Jasons own, and he /pulls/, at the same time pushing with his arm. The whole action getting his attention as he tries to pull Jason down to the ground and into a grapple. "You're inexperienced in comparison to me, but the enhancement helps to make up for it."

There's a bit of grunting as Green Arrow tries to bring his legs up and around to grip the neck and upper torso, with his lower legs trying to pin Jasons other arm to his side, his arm move to straighten out the other arm like a bar to completely subdue the upper body. This, of course, leaves his lower body free to move... but it looks like Green Arrow is banking on controlling the upper half enough to control the flow of the fight.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger isn't spiderman strong, but he's still strong enough that the 195lb blonde doesn't drag him down immediately with his weight when he wraps his arms and legs around him, bringing the fight into a grapple.

    Shifting his legs to keep to his feet from the odd weight distribution, The Red Ranger bends his legs and jumps. It's not a huge jump, but he does gain a couple of feet in the air as he shifts to try and bring Green Arrow onto his back on the hard mat /hard/ while using the falling momentum to drive his elbow into the man's stomach.

Green Arrow has posed:
The counter-jump works quite well, all things considered, but Green Arrow is already shifting to get out of the grapple by the time the elbow is about to land. He solidly impacts Green Arrow down into the matt, but the momentum is used to roll away, and Jason hits the ground.

When he comes back up, Green Arrow is already moving into judo stance, "you know how to shift your weight quite well. A nice center of balance." The words are left in the air briefly... before Green Arrow runs right at Jason... his arms coming up to punch... before he reveals that to be a feint and moves and jumps into a dropkick, both legs going right for the torso.

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger just as quickly is kipping up taking his standard karate stance as he turns to face Green Arrow, Hopping forward a bit with his legs so they're slightly ahead of him, he takes the kick right in the solar plexus with a grunt and exhalation of air his body already falling backwards from his foot positioning..

    "When you're being grappled by stone monsters on a *oooph* Daily basis, you learn how to keep your balance." he says as he brings his arms up to grab at the pantslegs of Green Arrow as he falls trying to bring his own legs up and around the man's torso, to try and hook his left foot under his right knee while bringing the top of his foot in for swift rabbit kicks to Green Arrow's temple as he tries to force his calf up under his ribcage to force out Green Arrow's breah his own breath coming in soft pants now having had most of the wind knocked out of him with that kick.

Green Arrow has posed:
Green Arrow is rolling off to the side, out of potential attacks about a dozen feet, before he rolls onto an arm that almost sets himself back onto his feet. It looks well practiced by all accounts... except Jason is already grabbing for his legs. The kimono twists as he rolls, trying to get out of the grip, the grip on his torso has his neatly pinned to the ground himself.

By the time Green Arrow is wrapped up, he's had the wind knocked out of him. Looking around to inspect his situation, Green Arrow looks directly towards one of the lights... and something happens.

Green Arrow goes slack. Suddenly, that precise, experienced momentum that Jason could feel is gone. Maybe he's had the energy knocked out of him?

Red Ranger has posed:
     Red Ranger capitalizes on the sudden loss of momentum, bringing that right foot back he delivers a blow to Green Arrow's temple hard enough to knock the man unconcious, possibly a concussion. If not he'll have one hell of a headache as Jason quickly shifts and unwraps himself from Green Arrow panting he moves to his knees to check the man's vitals before flagging down one of the ever present staff members to get his downed opponent to the medical facilities on the island..
