Yasuke reluctantly bowed out. He never understood this formal nonsense, but everyone were so hell bend on doing it so that wasn't a battle he would try to win.
"You've done this a few times more than I have it seems." Yasuke said slightly reluctantly as he looked at Kojuro's left hand. The fact was that he had more or less been beaten by a cripple - and to his own surprise he was amused by it. "Well anyone would gain an advantage when gluing their hand to the bokken!" he said and chuckled. Some part of Yasuke was impressed too that he was able to be this quick and accurate fighting with something like that.
With Kojuro suggesting a challenge more, Yasuke thought that perhaps he wanted to give that left hand a bit of a challenge.
"Is it as strong as it was before or is it only dexterity it lacks?" Yasuke asked and mused. "Maybe I should give that left arm a bit of a work out anyway then? And no, I'm not talking origami here, I'm speaking of the noble art of judo!" he said with a wide self confident grin. It was a simple sport where two guys - preferably, but doing judo with a woman wasn't too bad either - took a firm grip in each other's dogi and tried to toss one another. If you land your opponent on the floor, you'd get a point. Admittedly, Yasuke's build and strength did favor him here, but it was technical too and the right sweeping move could do the trick too.
"Are you up for it? And have you tried it before?" Yasuke asked and crossed his arms. Whenever Kojuro was ready, Yasuke would engage him. "Let's forget the formal stuff here, right?"

“Probably more than a few,” he replied, in agreement. “But if you didn’t train in a dojo, you must have got your experience in real combat. Hour for hour, that’s better value training, if you don’t get killed,” he laughed. He imagined Yasuke was joking about having your hand glued to a bokken to be an advantage. But at least it didn’t need to be too much of a disadvantage.
“It lacks some strength as well but perhaps I can build that up again with the right kind of exercise,” he said, looking thoughtful. “Judo? So you want us to throw each other about?” he narrowed his eyes. “I’ve learned some unarmed techniques, although mainly for disarming and subduing an opponent with a weapon. And those generally required needing two hands, so lately I haven’t practiced them much. I don’t think I could get a grip on you with the left, but if you can teach me how to throw you around with one hand, then lets go.” He grinned, eager to learn something new that would give him another string to his bow.

Yasuke grinned and nodded. Yeah he had had his experience in real combat, but certainly also in training. But never sports training for points, his training was to against opponents who would merely have beaten him up, if he failed and thus it made for excellent real life experience. But to say that Yasuke was just a crude street fighter was wrong too, as he had actually once been taught the way of the sword by a journeying samurai and had traveled along with him for a while. It was the same samurai who had trained him in the art of judo, he was going to train Kojuro in now.
"I've had my share of injuries and they've all healed nicely. Also I've never seen any not healing properly unless the shame got the best of the poor guy and he got scared to use the injured limb." he said and nodded towards Kojuro's left arm. "I don't think you're like that are you?" he said slightly teasingly and listened to Kojuro explain about his experience with unarmed martial arts.
"For subduing someone with a weapon I admit judo might not be the best tool on the shed. But throw the biggest guy in a bar over your head and watch the rest go quiet knowing that it wasn't luck. There in lies the strength of judo!" Yasuke said and waved his finger, feeling slightly like those wise old sensei people were talking about had founded several of the martial arts schools around Tawakoshi.
"Okay, grab a hold of the collar of my gi... well you can just place your left hand flat on the other side." Yasuke said and mirrored Kojuro's stance. "The idea is to break the balance of the opponent and in that very moment you do so, you throw them!" he said and nodded excited. "Alright, let's try this throw then, it might suit you well with your injury." Yasuke said, and seemingly in his excitement forgot that he might not like Kojuro and started acting a lot more friendly than usually seen.
Yasuke would go through the way of doing it a couple of times before actually doing it. To execute the throw Yasuke would push Kojuro's right leg away with his own right leg and at the moment of unbalance, he had lowered his hip and pushed it towards Kojuros. Using one hand grabbing Kojuro's gi and the other tugged around his left arm as he turned around, he executed a throw over his shoulder that would have Kojuro landing on the tatami on his back.
"Ohh... are you used to doing ukemi?(fall)" Yasuke asked as he out of habit had thrown him pretty hard into the tatami. In any case it was now Kojuro's turn to try and execute the same throw on Yasuke. "Come on up and do it one me!" he said excited.

“Really? You think I could have just beaten you five points to one just then if I hadn’t been practising with it?” he said, laughing, before he turned a little more serious again, “But really, it’s only a matter of luck that you haven’t… there are all kinds of injuries that don’t heal up well. Look,” he showed the scar on his forearm to Yasuke, which was nothing more now than a pale line. The wound itself seemed to have healed perfectly. “I took a sword cut here to stop an enemy from slicing my head off. It wasn’t so deep as I was wearing armour, but it severed a tendon. No matter how much exercise I were to put in, there’s just certain things that this hand can’t do. You’ve seen Takahashi-san who never takes off his menpo? That and this, is the least of it. Sometimes warriors come home from battle unable to fight again at all. But you’re right. There’s no point taking it easy.”
He took hold of Yasuke’s collar as directed, grabbing it between forefinger and thumb with his left hand, and fully with his right. “I’m not planning on getting into any drunken brawls, but you never know.” Kojuro seemed to be paying full attention to Yasuke’s instructions as he talked him through the method as well as showing him, before letting Yasuke throw him onto the ground. He took the fall with a roll, getting back onto his feet then turning to face his opponent. Although he wasn’t used to the way he was thrown, the technique for receiving it was similar enough to other types of martial arts he had practiced that he wasn’t taken unawares it. “Nice of you to ask before you threw me,” he said, approaching Yasuke once again, and taking a similar stance to the one Yasuke had taken, letting him grasp onto his collar, before attempting to execute the same manoeuvre. It wasn’t by any means elegant as he tried to replicate the throw, but it ended up with Yasuke chucked over his shoulder regardless of the inexperience he brought to the technique.

Yasuke narrowed his eyes. He sure wasn't too happy about Kojuro mention the fact that he had lost so heavily - it was something best forgotten. He looked at Kojuro's scar and shrugged.
"Well I'm sure after st... Ehrm... Stretching it real often it will get much better!" Yasuke said, promptly censuring out 'strangling someone'. "I once took a beating by someone who ambushed my with a club and my shoulder hurt like hell the morning after. But then I located the guy and he helped me stretch out and it made me feel much better!" Yasuke said and paused a second before adding. "I hope you killed that bastard though." Yasuke said before Kojuro diverted his mind to Takahashi. "Yeah I don't think too many samurai want to see what's behind that mask..." Yasuke said, unfortunately putting into words what should have remained in his head. "With ALL due respect of course!" Yasuke said and bowed again. Takahashi did seem like a creepy fellow and one Yasuke didn't want to get near - even for a 'nice' chat.
A grab and a throw later Yasuke ended up on the tatami floor and got up again without much fuss.
"Well that's not too bad Kojuro-dono, but a little lazy too." he said and corrected his gi. Kojuro seemed like one of those obnoxious lightning fast learners who could memorize everything seeing it just once, but even though that bugged him, he did admire that Kojuro seemed to have guts to go with it. "Remember that this can be used if people gets so close to you that you can't properly hit or kick. Like... Maybe judo could even have saved your arm there if you had stepped in under his striker and thrown him." Yasuke said and shrugged.
"Now... try to do it again. This time put a little more intent into throwing me while moving the him more. Maybe... try to imagine that I'm that bastard who cut your arm!" Yasuke said and grinned as he took a firm hold in Kojuro's collar with his right hand as he prepared his left for a punch towards Kojuro's face. "If you don't move and throw me, this WILL connect!" Yasuke said, hoping this extra measure of motivation would give Kojuro extra incentive to up his technique.

“Of course,” he replied, when Yasuke asked if he killed the guy. “I wouldn’t be standing here today if I hadn’t.” When talk turned to Takahashi, he mentioned, “Anzen and I used to spend hours wondering what was underneath it, we gave ourselves nightmares a few times.” It had been a little cruel of them without them realising it. When he was old enough to understand why Takahashi wore the mask he couldn’t help feeling a little bad for how much they had turned him into a monster in their imagination. Yasuke was a stubborn man and apparently needed to experience something himself before he would believe it existed, the same with magic… even though he had lost his sword to that error. Hopefully, he wouldn’t need to find out he was wrong the hard way in this regard.
He nodded at Yasuke’s assessment that his throw was not bad but lazy. There was plenty of time to practice and he would learn. “Please instruct me,” he said, with a small bow. At Yasuke’s suggestion that judo could have saved him, he replayed the situation in his head as best he could remember it, and tried to insert some judo moves in there but failed to see a way he didn’t end up being killed. “Maybe if I could have thrown him into the others. You’ll have to show me how this would work against an armed opponent, once we have the basics down.” Not that he was ruling it out, but he thought you would have to be pretty confident in judo to use that in preference to a sword.
Perhaps the punch to the face gave Kojuro a little too much incentive. He nodded, mustering all his intent to fling Yasuke into the polished wooden floor of the dojo. This time, his throw was perfectly timed as he snagged his opponents leg and pivoted Yasuke precisely over his hip and onto the floor, and swiftly followed it, with a fist held back as if to aim a punch to Yasuke’s face once he was down. He quickly released it though and stood back. “Hm… I think I see how it’s done,” he said thoughtfully. “But please correct my errors.” He bowed.

Yasuke crossed his arms and nodded like a proud father. Some part of him almost thought Kojuro might have let that guy go after a warning, but then again it was probably not just a light confrontation after all and in real battle it was kill or be killed. Yasuke listened intently to Kojuro's story about him and his sister having nightmares about what was behind Takahashi's mask, and let out a genuine amused laugh with his arms crossed. "I'm sure Takahashi-dono has given many people nightmares!" Yasuke said as his mind raced back to his own childhood. Oh his dad sure gave him and his own sister nightmares when they were young, and that was without wearing a mask. Still right now those memories didn't mean very much and Yasuke enjoyed their little moment more than he had enjoyed himself for a while.
As Yasuke felt like he had instructed Kojuro properly and launched his surprise attack eager to see how Kojuro managed to do it under pressure, he felt his quite considerable weight - helped by a high muscle mass - being airborne for a short while, as Kojuro sweeped his leg and threw Yasuke in an almost perfect arc over his own shoulder. "The hell..!" was all Yasuke managed to mutter, before he landed on the wooden floor.
"That throw was fine, Kojuro-dono..." Yasuke said still lying on the floor. A few moments later he got up on his knees grabbing his right arm. The throw may have been nearly perfect, but Yasuke's spirited attacked coupled with his surprise being thrown that easily, had left him unprepared for the fall and he had landed on his right shoulder instead of his back. "I... don't think I can correct any more errors today though, it must be dislocated." Yasuke said, his composed voice betrayed by his agonized expression. "I might... be able to pop it back in place though. Do you have some... sake close by by chance?" he asked, drops of sweat rolling down his forehead.

At first, Kojuro was glad to have executed the move satisfactorily, and was pleased with his temporary sensei’s praise. But then it became clear that Yasuke was in trouble from his bad breakfall. Kojuro quickly came to his side once he realised Yasuke was injured. These things happened fairly regularly in the dojo, and it was really no-one’s fault. Taking a long and serious look at Yasuke’s shoulder, he could see even under the training gi that there was a strange lumpiness to the back of his shoulder that very much did look as though it had dislocated. “I’ll do it,” he suggested. While Yasuke thought about that, he went to the dojo door and found a passing servant, requesting sake to be brought. “It’s better if I do it now,” he said, as he returned to Yasuke. “If you wait for sake it will only be harder to put back in, and more painful.” But he would leave the choice up to Yasuke, even though he personally thought it better to get the painful part over with - it wasn’t like sake would make that much difference.
Whether Yasuke decided to wait for sake or not, Kojuro would help him take off the top of his training gi, which would only get in the way. He seemed quite calm and serious as he examined the shoulder, getting a feel of where the joint was out and which direction it would need to go to relocate. “Try to relax,” he said as he grabbed hold of Yasuke’s arm with his right and braced his left against Yasuke’s torso to keep it in place, then with a quick movement wrenched the shoulder back into the socket that it was supposed to be in. Naturally it would be pretty painful for Yasuke, but Kojuro had no doubt that he would be able to handle it. “That’s the worst of it over,” he said cheerfully. The servant who had brought back the sake, Kojuro set to soaking some cloths in cold water, which placed over Yasuke’s shoulder would help with the swelling.

Yasuke looked at one of the supporting pillars in the dojo, that kept the roof standing. He wondered for a second if he could risk bringing down the building by ramming it, but was probably his only option if he wanted to get this dislocated shoulder back as fast as possible. It would hurt and sake would be preferable before to calm his nerves - but after presented a nice motivation too.
"Whaddid ya' say?" Yasuke said surprised at Kojuro offering to pop the shoulder back. The pain was literally at a point where Yasuke's brain was functioning slower than usual, so it took him just a few seconds to reply. "Well... if you insist Kojuro-dono." he said reluctantly. He wasn't used to get help from other people, but right now with no one around he could use a helping hand. Ramming the shoulder into a pillar definitely risked other complications too - and not just to the pillar.
Yasuke prepared himself mentally and bit hard down on his gi. Relaxing was not much of an option with most of his muscles tensed up by then pain, but hopefully Kojuro would not hold back and succeed on the first try.
"Awww bloody shhh..!!!" Yasuke exclaimed angrily, but quickly calmed down again after the sharp pain had seceded. "Hm... Effective I have to say." Yasuke said and felt his shoulder with his opposite hand. It was back where it belonged now and this level of pain was bearable. The servant was back with sake too and while a soaked piece of cloth was applied to Yasuke's shoulder he took a sip of the sake and already seemed to relax much more than before.
"That's good... I tell you Kojuro-dono! This is the REAL magic of the world!" he said almost cheerfully. "Want some too?" he asked Kojuro and presented the bottle to him.

Kojuro was glad to see Yasuke return a bit more to himself after his shoulder joint was popped back together again. His yelling of curse words had been more restrained than Kojuro had expected, but then Yasuke was a tough and resilient type. “Well, at least we got to see how that move could really be effective,” Kojuro said, with a relived laugh. While the servant draped cloths over Yasuke’s shoulder, he went to the pail of drinking water and drank a ladle full before bringing one back and handing it to Yasuke.
He took a seat on the floor beside Yasuke as he was offered to join him for sake. There was no good reason to refuse, so he picked up a cup and held it out for Yasuke to fill from the bottle he held. Not really agreeing with Yasuke, he replied diplomatically, “I’m sure magic comes in many different forms.” He took a sip of the sake, feeling its warmth radiate through him. All in all, it had been a good session, and Yasuke had proved to be a interesting sparring partner just as he had thought. “Thank you for teaching me. Perhaps we can continue this, once your injury is healed?” he suggested.

"Of course the move is effective, I've used it countless times..." Yasuke said self confidently as he downed the first cup of sake. His mood has considerably improved after a bit of sake, and to Yasuke it was even better, that Kojuro seemed to join in, though a bit of water did seem nice after the training session.
"There you go too..!" he said and poured a considerable amount into Kojuro's cup. Maybe Yasuke could seem guarded around things her claimed to be his, but when pouring sake - whether it was actually his own or not - he was as generous as a monk was with politeness.
Yasuke suddenly stared empty at Kojuro. "Yeah, I'm sure it does." he said with a plain face pouring a bit more sake for himself feeling slightly annoyed. Kojuro's stubbornness when it came to magic was endless, and he was surprised he wasn't somewhat of a laughing stock around the men for having such beliefs.
"Hmm..? Oh you're welcome..." Yasuke said slightly surprised. "Well yeah, I guess we can do that." he replied to Kojuro's question about further tutelage. It was slightly odd to be sitting there and getting thanks from a noble, but to Yasuke the words about wanting to train more were still empty words until Kojuro proved them right.
