What The Luck!?

Chapter 268 - 268. Throws



"Louis, want to team up?" Asher found himself closer to Louis and knew that he would need a little help to take on the Cara and Jane team that was eyeing them at the moment. 

"You got it, Should I try and zap them or just stick with that move you sent me the other day?" Louis had asked Asher for some of the throws they used and Asher had sent the videos over without a single question. He wanted everyone to learn them at some point so they could all have them as their basic move pool. 

​​

"Sound good, we can both try and use them. I just wish they went after Sammy and Laura first since the two are just over there chatting." Asher was a little annoyed because he felt that he had been targeted a little. Although he was sure that he couldn\'t argue too much because he was definitely a bigger threat than the others. 

"It\'s a fine that they are leaving them be. I think they want to watch how we do anyways." Louis was slightly shaky when he said this because he caught Lauras\' gaze on him a few times. 

"Yeah yeah. They want to watch and learn." Asher teased Louis a little and earned a sharp glare since Louis knew he could easily tease Asher right back about Jane but chose not to for now. "Alright here we go, we will work in unison." 

Asher saw that Cara and Jane were using the same strategy as when they took down Art. However, this time, Cara was headed towards Asher and Jane towards Louis at the same time. 

The pair was already in their stances waiting for the two girls to get close. Cara and Jane were coming at full speed and were looking to bring the boys down with a back trip so that they could then go and claim a full victory against the group. 

Cara was within a step of Asher and was already turning her body to get one foot behind his heel. She was a little surprised that Asher hadn\'t reacted but chalked it up to nerves since she was a little more of an intimidating force compared to the people he most likely had trained against before. Louis was in the same state with Jane equally turning to trip him. Jane just assumed that Luis wasn\'t moving because he had much less battle experience than Asher and her. 

"Now!" Asher was waiting for the very last second. He and Louis both grabbed Cara and Janes\' arms and leaned back. Their used the Girls\' momentums caused them to fall forward since they couldn\'t stop their own twisting motions. Asher and Louis gave a hard pull to their arms and rolled back on to their own feet while the girl flipped through the air and rolled on to their backs. 

"That was perfect Louis. I didn\'t know that you learned the throw so perfectly." Asher was already high fiving Louis since he had been so surprised that he learned the throw so fast. 

"I practiced it like a hundred times. I didn\'t want you to be able to throw me with it so I learned it as much as I could so I can recognize when it happened." Louis was a bit shy since Asher had praised him so strongly. 

"Maybe you two shouldn\'t celebrate when your opponent isn\'t beat!" Cara had popped right back up and went after Louis since he was the least ready to defend himself. She was going fo a simple tackle but at that moment the phone alarm ending the hour started to blare. 

"Damn, I thought I would have more time. Looks like we are starting the next hour. Let\'s get to or muscle training!" Cara wasn\'t going to even rest. She made everyone get together without any rest. This wasn\'t a problem for most of them but it was a sign that they were in for some harsh training. 

"Wait I thought we were doing move training?" Sammy was surprised at the change but Cara just shrugged.

"This feels right since some of us need to bolster our strength plus move training might let us cool down, it is better to do muscle training when you\'re nice and warmed up." Cara didn\'t really need the logic to change the plan since they were still doing the same things anyways. 

The next hour of hardcore muscle training was over in the blink of an eye. They had many circuits that they had focused on specific muscle groups. Cara had set them up to work on the lower back and core muscles since she thought they were the best for balancing the larger muscle groups in their bodies. It was also because the elite home gym app suggested this muscle group to balance out their flexibility and stances. 

"Are we finally going to rest?" Louis could feel his muscles trying to fight back against him. 

"No, we have moves to practice. Show me that throw you and Asher did before. It was wicked cool how you two did it at the same time. Have you been practicing together?" Sammy was extremely impressed when Asher and Louis worked together to counter Jane and Cara. Her and Laura had both watched and saw that they were in perfect sync. 

"Well, I just send Louis the video on how to do the move recently. I was pretty impressed that he picked it up so fast. But I think we can all learn it pretty easily because it relies on falling to work. Actually, Jackson might get the hang of it since he had been practicing rolling to his feet instead of falling flat." 

Jackson was slightly surprised that Asher thought this, "Bur wouldn\'t I ned top first know how to pop to my feet after a back roll so the throw would work?" He couldn\'t see how it would remain a fluid motion if he couldn\'t.

"No, you should be able to pull that throw off fine. The pop up to your feet is just an advanced part to add on to the move. But you can still throw and roll over to face an opponent. Just remember that if they knew it is coming they can forward roll and pop up before you." Cara chimed in with advice that even Asher who practiced the move first didn\'t realize. 

"Show me that then. I want to see how fast I would need to react to avoid an opponent. That knows what I am about to do or is just naturally quick." Asher could tell that the only one who would be able to properly show him this was his sister until everyone else was more adept at using the throw itself. 

Meanwhile, Art had already set up his phone and was going through a punch and kick boxing combo he had seen. He was trying to get to the same level as Jane and Asher when it came to their combinations of attacks. He was finding that he was able to follow the straight and clean boxing styles much more easily than the more unique moves that Jane and Asher used. 

After Jackson watched and learned a little about the throw that Cara and Asher were practicing he decided to practice with Art. "The moves you are using seem a lot more simple. I think I am better of with simple basics so I can use them better with my body." The main reason was that Jackson was still learning about his larger body and needed basics to set a strong foundation. 

Syre thing. I am following a lot of kick boxing and boxing moves. The stance and boxers bounce will probably work better for you anyways since a crouched stance is harder the bigger you are." Art had read these inferences a while ago and taken them to heart. 

"I have seen some boxing and they are super fast. I think it is because they practice the simple moves more because they are simple and they can react much more efficiently." Jackson had heard the television announces say things like this and fully believed it. 

"I didn\'t think you were a boxing fan. I thought you would only be interested in plant and animal shows on television." Art found himself pretty surprised to hear these new things about Jackson. 

"Well, I listen to them mostly. The garden is peaceful but sometimes it is nice to turn on the radio and listen to something to keep me from falling asleep." Jackson seemed embarrassed but Art knew exactly what he was talking about. 

"I listen to some energetic music when I cook so that I won\'t get distracted and let something burn. Sometimes things take forever to get to the right temperature." Art and Jackson were binding pretty well while Jackson learned to throw Art\'s core move; straight punch. 

"Sammy had started to learn the throw that Louis, Cara, and Asher were working on. This left Jane and Laura together to work on their own moves.
