No pain, no gain! (for kerflubble)

Mindy couldn't lock her arm around Rebecca's head, as her back was promptly shoved back onto the mat as soon as she tried to sit up, with the amazon's forearm keeping her pinned down. Even though her body scissors were still locked on, Mindy didn't like how easily Rebecca's strength neutralized her attacks.

She then felt Rebecca's hips shifting positions; her reaction was tighten her hold like there was no tomorrow. Sticking close to her opponent had worked very well so far, and Mindy wasn't about to abandon a winning strategy, so even as Rebecca pushed herself up Mindy's powerful legs clung around her midsection.

However, it seemed that no amount of squeezing would dissuade the veteran from executing her move. Mindy suddenly felt herself being flipped; only then did she realize that tightening her hold so much had been a mistake. As she was forced onto her front, she instantly tried to open her scissors, but she was already past the point of no return. Even letting go wouldn't prevent her from being locked in a boston crab if Rebecca held her legs in place. If the amazon for some reason decided not to do that, then Mindy's lower body would flop down to the mat, and she would try to squirm away from Rebecca.

It was a point that frustrated many smaller submission specialists in wrestling: that enough brute force was going to give a lot of techniques a run for their money, and that was always a point in Rebecca's favour. Muscling out of holds was what came naturally to her: a lot of wrestlers would struggle to turn someone like Mindy over despite her insistance of hanging on to the body scissors instead of changing it up but to the over 200lb Amazon it was a lot simpler than it should have been. And it also made catching the rookie in the Boston Crab was also fairly easy.

"Now what?" Rebecca asked her sparring partner as she began to slowly but surely lean back and apply the pressure on Mindy's back, waiting to see how the Rookie would respond before really cranking on the hold.

"Ack!" Mindy groaned as her escape failed and Rebecca contorted her body into the painful position of a boston crab. With her breasts squished against the mat and her legs firmly secured under Rebecca's armpits, the hold was already quite uncomfortable from the get-go, and it only got worse as the amazon leaned back and started putting the hurt on Mindy's back.

Mindy's response to all that was to struggle strongly, trying to shift her body from one side to the other in hopes of making Rebecca lose her balance. The rookie was no stranger to brute force tactics either, as it had saved her ass regularly during her sessions with her old sparring partner; then again, Rebecca was much bigger than her friend, so Mindy put a lot more effort into her struggles than usual, all while fighting against the building pain in her body.

Rebecca smirked as Mindy struggled beneath her, the rookie seemed to be picking things up quite nicely even if this hold did hurt like a bitch, she twisted and turned making the Amazon focus on just keeping her in the hold but at the expense of a lot of the pressure. Lesson one: fight a hold every step of the way, if you can't counter it outright at least try to make the person applying the hold really work for it.

Unfortunately for the fitness freak on the bottom, Rebecca wasn't going to let go so easily. Standing up instead of squatting down to keep control she tried to drag Mindy by her legs to the centre of the mat and then fall back with her grips on Mindy's legs as she aimed to land ass first on the Rookie's lower back!

Despite Mindy's best effort, her struggles did not get her out of Rebecca's boston crab; the amazon's powerful arms kept her locked in place, forcing her to endure the hold whether she liked it or not. Even so, Mindy kept fighting, as she wanted out even more now that Rebecca had shown that she could keep the rookie trapped for as long as she pleased.

Sweat started running down Mindy's body as she squirmed beneath the veteran. She was keeping the boston crab from doing its worst, yes, but all this struggling was also tiring herself, and becoming exhausted was the last thing she wanted, as she would then be truly in Rebecca's mercy. Stopping for a second, she lifted her head and looked at the ropes, not that far away from her. She raised one hand, reaching for it-

And then she found herself being dragged away and placed in the center of the ring. She banged her fist against the mat in frustration and pain, as Rebecca had denied her escape yet again. Before she could do anything else, Rebecca sat down on her back, immediately increasing the pressure twofold and bringing Mindy out of her silence. "GaaAAH!" She buried her face on the mat, doing her best to fight against the pain that now invaded her body and twisted it so mercilessly.

Rebecca winced as Mindy screamed out in pain, maybe she was being a bit mean but sooner or later: no matter how big you were you were going to get beaten down, it was better for someone to teach that lesson without wanting to outright hurt or humiliate the rookie. "Fight back or tap out! What are you gonna do?" She barked out, wondering what the fellow amazon would do in this situation.

Mindy was getting schooled hard by the amazon. She had no easy way out of this torturous hold, and she now realized she was at a disadvantage in every aspect: experience, technique, even raw strength. With the boston crab now at full power, Mindy was pushed dangerously close to her breaking point, her joints grinding painfully as her body was bended even further in this vulnerable position.

She bit her lip hard, trying her best not to scream anymore. Rebecca was damn powerful, and giving up was now a tempting option... but even though her back was already hurting like hell, she didn't want to tap out so soon. She had been so lucky as to get a spar with a veteran, yet after just one hold she was already so weakened... her pride just couldn't take it. She wanted to fight back. Planting her hands on the mat, she started pushing herself up. Right away, this caused the pressure on her back to increase even more, and the sharp pain stopped her for a moment, but she shook it off as best as she could and continued propping herself up, wanting to get enough leverage to flex her legs and power her way out of the hold.

Rebecca smiled as she felt Mindy push up, the Amazon lifted off the ground slightly as she fought to keep the hold on, placing her boots firmly on the mat. It was time to test if the rookie could learn things on the fly, now that she was actively fighting back, she should be able to tell even subconsciously where Rebecca's hold was weakest, such as when she stood up to try and butt-stomp Mindy back down to the mat.

This was the hardest push-up in Mindy's life. So heavy. So painful. But it was her only way out, and it was finally paying off as Rebecca was forced to stand up just to keep the hold locked on. However, at that moment, Mindy felt that Rebecca was preparing something nasty for her. How? Was this instinct? Mindy didn't care, all she knew is that she had to escape now. Now. "RRAAAAHHH!" With a loud cry, she pushed herself up with all her might and flexed both thighs, all her muscles suddenly tensing in an outburst of strength. If this worked, she was likely to get her legs free, or even take Rebecca off her feet! And this should better work, or Mindy would be toast.

The moment Rebecca set herself off balance to move back down she felt an unholy amount of force as Mindy roared beneath her, the surprising burst of power coupled with her temporary lack of balance sending her forward then over her own head. Mindy had powered out of that hold so hard she had managed to flip the bigger Amazon in the process, leaving Rebecca with a combination of pride in how well the Rookie was doing and more pressingly a sensation of "What the fuck was that?"
