"That's good."
Orty took a sip of coffee, "How do you feel about it yourself?"
Luke spread his hands, "To be honest, I'm still not quite used to it."
Orty smiled, stood up, walked over to the safe, took a check out of the safe, and handed it to Luke, "I believe you'll get used to it very soon."
Luke looked at the check, $140,000 US Dollars, it was certainly tempting, "Maybe."
Orty said with a smile, "That's a pretty hefty commission you've got there, I'm even a bit jealous, thinking about how you're going to treat yourself?"
"Let take you out for a nice al at noon, you can pick the restaurant."
"Sounds good." Orty held her chin with her slender hand and thought for a mont, "How about Italian?"
"No problem." Luke nodded, he also liked Italian food quite a bit, "By the way, do you know anyone who's skilled in jujutsu?"
"What for?"
"To learn jujutsu."
Orty laughed, "You've asked the right person, I just happen to have a friend who's a jujutsu champion."
"That sounds promising; please get in touch with them for ."
"I'll ask around."
...
At noon, Luke and Orty enjoyed a lavish Italian al.
After the al, Orty took Luke to a venue to learn jujutsu.
Vaughn Jujutsu Club.
This jujutsu club was located on the eastern side of a comrcial street, with so small colorful flags hanging at the entrance.
Right upon entering the main entrance of the club, you could see the inside training area, with the floor and walls in two colors, blue and white, simple and neat without too much decoration.
There were quite a few kids in the training hall, the youngest were eight or nine years old, the oldest around thirteen or fourteen, boys and girls alike, so practicing alone, others sparring.
Their thod of selecting partners wasn't based on gender, but rather on size and weight.
Luke said, "I don't want to practice with these little kids."
Orty replied, "There's a small training area on the second floor, you can practice there."
"What about the jujutsu champion you ntioned?"
Orty waved to a woman in a white judo suit, "Natasha, we're here."
Luke was surprised, "The jujutsu champion you ntioned is a woman?"
"Don't underestimate won; she could pin you to the ground just the sa," Orty said and strode toward the woman nad Natasha.
Luke sized up the other party; Natasha was also a Latin woman, dressed in a white jujutsu suit, barefoot, roughly as tall as Orty, who was wearing high heels.
Orty was around 172CM tall, and with high heels roughly 178CM, which ant Natasha was around the sa height of 178CM.
Orty had curves in all the right places but slender limbs; whereas Natasha was brawny, her shoulders wider than that of an average adult man, creating a stark contrast between the two standing together.
It's difficult for won to build up muscle, Natasha's physique is proof enough of her genuine strength.
Luke was 185CM tall, his overall size and fra a notch larger than Natasha's, giving him a significant advantage in terms of physique.
Orty seed to be quite familiar with Natasha and said with a smile, "Let introduce you; this is Officer Luke Lee.
He's the one who wants to learn jujutsu from you."
Luke nodded in greeting, "Hello, Miss Vaughn."
Natasha Vaughn also scrutinized Luke, "Have you ever studied jujutsu before?"
"No." Luke knew quite a few fighting techniques; boxing was his strongest suit, he had also learned so grappling and wrestling, but had never studied jujitsu.
This ti his interest in learning jujitsu was primarily because his ground ga was a bit weak, and as it happened, he had three passes for learning jujitsu, which he could now put to good use.
Natasha put her hands on her hips, "Starting from scratch at your age won't be easy."
"I know so other combat skills, like boxing, wrestling."
"If you want to learn jujitsu, it's best to forget the other combat skills first.
Of course, I'm not saying don't use them, but that will help you systematically learn jujitsu. Once you've got the basics down, you can fight however you like."
"So you're saying I'll have to start with the very basics?"
"Let's spar first, since you know wrestling, try to take down using your wrestling techniques."
"OK." Luke nodded; before officially starting lessons, he also wanted to gauge his opponent's caliber.
If she was all show, it'd be better to leave early.
"Co with ." Natasha led Luke and Orty upstairs.
The second floor was partitioned off, creating two separate training rooms.
Natasha led the two into the training room on the east side.
Luke took off his shoes, put on a black Jujutsu uniform, ward up briefly, and stepped onto the sparring mat. The floor was soft, so falling wouldn't hurt too much.
Orty, with a smile on her face, sat on the side to watch the bout, "Go Luke!"
Luke turned his head to look and couldn't help but feel that she seed to be taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Ignoring her, Luke focused his attention on Natasha.
After stretching casually, Natasha also stepped onto the mat and bowed slightly.
Luke followed suit with a bow.
The two slapped hands, showing respect to their opponent.
Then, the match officially began. Both extended their arms, adopting defensive stances.
Both were trying to make contact, looking for openings in their opponent's guard.
Suddenly, Natasha went on the offensive, grabbing Luke's collar with her left hand and his arm with her right, pushing her body downward, trying to use the force to bring Luke down.
Luke felt a strong force tugging at him, far beyond what an ordinary adult male could exert and not much less than his own strength.
Fortunately, Luke was prepared. He lowered his body, dropping his center of gravity and grabbing Natasha's back with his right hand, as they grappled with each other.
Natasha's initial attack was powerful and agile, moving several tis in all directions, but she still couldn't bring Luke down.
Natasha changed her tactic, letting go of Luke and pressing down to wrap her arms around his legs.
Having learned wrestling, Luke knew she wanted to throw him down. He pushed back with his legs, leaning forward to lower his center of gravity as well.
The two wrestled with each other, twisting several tis. Luke also attempted to throw his opponent, but with no success.
All of a sudden, Natasha let go, no longer grappling up close with Luke. Following the montum of Luke's force, she lunged forward, wrapping around his waist, and hooked her right leg around his leg.
Luke lost his balance and was thrown to the ground, struggling to get up. He knew all too well the advantage of Jujutsu on the ground.
However, although Luke's intentions were good, by the ti he hit the floor, Natasha was already mounting him.
They grappled with each other's collars and heads, wrestling for control.
Natasha aid to subdue Luke.
Luke, on the other hand, was trying to shake her off and stand up.
After a bit of a struggle, Luke, having the upper hand in strength, managed to throw Natasha off forcefully and rose from the ground.
However, in that instant, Natasha's legs entangled Luke, her right foot at his chest and her left at his neck, her hands locking down his right arm.
"Fuck!" Luke cursed silently, knowing things were not looking good.
Indeed, Natasha next applied force, securing Luke's right hand with both of hers while her legs pressured his neck and chest. The strength in her legs was imnse, and Luke was at risk of being suffocated at any mont.
"Thump thump." Luke tapped the floor with his left hand.
Natasha then released his arm and stood up.
Luke gasped for air, moving his right arm a little.
Natasha reached out and pulled him up from the floor, "You have a good foundation."
Luke responded with a wry smile, "You're very strong."
Natasha was bulkier than he had expected, yet Luke's strength, height, and reach still gave him an advantage—it was purely a matter of being outclassed in technique.
Natasha laughed, "There's no sha in being thrown by . I've taken down more n than there are in a reinforced battalion.
Wait until you face Gabby Garcia, then you'll know what real despair is."
"Natasha, I want to learn Jujutsu from you, how much are the fees?" Luke no longer saw her just as a woman.
"How about 100 US Dollars per hour?"
"When can we start?"
"We can start now. But first, we'll begin with the theory. I need to teach you so basic concepts and techniques."
"No problem."
Before starting formal Jujutsu lessons, Luke sent the onlooking Orty away.
He didn't want this woman taking photos of him, as it didn't fit his image of being heroic and illustrious.
Then, Luke concentrated on learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Natasha.
He used a Jujutsu card, learning the theory and basic moves of Jujutsu with Natasha's guidance.
Three hours later, he used a second Jujutsu card for sparring practice with Natasha to learn the finer points of the moves.
With the help of the two Jujutsu cards, Luke's learning progressed rapidly, and his Jujutsu techniques improved significantly…
