b4) Roll forward and get in position to defend.
b5) This is the only thing I know...

page 12

b1) Tumble forward and jump.
b2) Turn.
b3) Low sweep.
b4) What's with this...
b5) Isn't the warm up a little long?
panel) Do a low sweep from a hip turn.
b6) And finally, one more forward roll into a defense position.
b7) It's about time.

pag 13

b1) What we do here is make sure everyone knows the basics first.
b2) After that I'll be showing you how to tackle properly. // Those who already know can get started by themselves.
b3) First you start with your stance,
panel1) When both people are lefties.
b4) Everything is equal.
panel2) When a lefty faces a righty.
b5) Do keep in mind that there will be times when you face someone who uses the opposite hand to fight.
b6) The way you tackle will depend on which hand is being used against you.
panel3) Hmm? // Is that so?
b7) First I'll do a tackle against the same fighting stance.
panel4) Here I come. // Okay.

page 14

b1) nahfu!
b2) While tackling, you need to be aware of this:
b3) when you dive in and your bodies touch to lock their knees.
b4) If you don't, your opponent will be able to control your neck,
b5) and you'll be the one that falls.

page 15

b1) Next we're going to an opposite stance double leg tackle.
b2) I'm going to be the test dummy again?
b3) It's much more apparent when a tall person does it.
panel1) I get some good sounds from you too.
b4) Besides, you get to learn this hands on right?
panel2) nnnggh
b5) gueh!!
b6) Next, single leg tackle!
b7) guha!
b8) Opposite stance single leg tackle!
b9) ngofu!
b0) Do like your headbutting your opponents stomach.

page 16

b1) Oh, nicely done.
b2) I'm glad to see that you learn quickly.
b3) Next I'll show you how to break a tackle.
b4) Natsuo-chan...
b5) Try to tackle me.

page 17

b1) gyaafun!!
b2) You jump back like this so your legs don't get caught,
b3) and throw your body weight on your opponent to stop their movement.
b4) Once you've done that, mount them from behind and...
b5) I'm sorry.
b6) That was too fast, I couldn't see what happened.
b7) Can you do it again?
b8) I'll do it as many times as you need.
b9) Once more Natsuo-chan!!

page 18

panel sfx.) beep(X4)
b1) Okay, let's begin sparring now.
b2) We'll start from the kneeling position. // Change who you were working with.
panel) Can I spar with you? // Sure.

page 19

b1) I'll be your sparring partner.
panel) It's you!
b2) Hm?
b3) That girl is sparring with Kiri-chan...
b4) Although she's new to MMA,
b5) she's been doing judo for over a year...

page 20

b1) Well, she's putting a lot of different moves on her.
panel1) 3 point shoulder lock.
b2) ohhhhh
b3) nggggggg

b4) I guess there's a lot for her to learn.
panel3) Shoulder lock.

b7) You're really pissing me off!
box) 20 minutes later...
panel sfx.) beep(x4)
b8) After some weight training and stretching, we're done.
b9) Those 2 hours were long... -small print- it's about time.

page 21

b2) You mean malice right? not love!
panel) Body weight bench press

page 22

panel1) Leg curl.
panel2) Stretch.
b1) Meditate!!

page 23

panel1) Good job(x2)
b2) and shake everyone's hand.
panel2,3) Good job. // You too.
b3) Unlike Karate...
b4) you spend a lot of time touching someone else...
b5) And boy am I glad there's a female class.
panel4) Good job. // You sweat a lot today.
b6) I'm tired...
panel5) Where'd I put my towel?

page 24

b1) Na-chan, you make your own lunch right?
b2) Yeah.
b3) That's pretty cool... I'm bad at getting up, so I could never do that.
b4) If you make preparations the night before, you won't spend a lot of time on it.
panel) I made asparagus rolls today, here you can have one... // Thanks!
b5) I'm going to a gym now.
b6) An MMA gym... Kontani-san goes to the same place.
b7) Is that so?

page 25

b1) There's this one girl there that's been getting under my skin.
b2) It seems like she can fight a little,
b3) so I'll start by taking her down.
b4) I'm going to keep making little goals for myself like that,
b5) and get better step by step.
b6) ufufufu.
b7) Na-chan, you have a terrible personality!!
b8) huh? Really?
b9) Yeah!!

page 26

b1) But since you're so straightforward with how you act, I think it's fine.
b2) You don't cheat or anything.
b3) You really think so?
b4) yeah.
b5) That was pretty shocking to hear.
b6) You made the right choice to quit the volleyball team.
b7) You look like you're having a lot of fun now.
b8) You always used to look incredibly bored, so I was worried about you.
b9) Yeah.

page 27

b1) Kei, you should join too.
panel1) You'll lose weight. // I don't need to.
b2) I don't like doing things that hurt...
panel2) Oh yeah, Segal's new movie...
panel3) has him doing some crazy stunts...

page 28

b1) Rinji Cordeiro,
b2) she's going to my school right now.
b3) Is that so?
b4) Did you see the tv show?
b5) the one where Takenaka-san lost.

page 29

b1) Yes I did.
b2) He's really an idiot isn't he?
b3) He's the type to let something like that happen to him.
b4) He let her win on purpose.
b5) Think about it,
b6) there's no way he normally lose.
b7) Can you tell me in what world...
b8) do ever see a welter weight man get ko'd by a girl who's not even 60kg (132lb)?

page 30

b1) And because of that, he's gotten some serious bashing from people.
b2) There are even some who've quit.
b3) But now there are a lot of people talking about it.
b4) The daughter of the world class MMA fighter, // beat a man who was well known for his skill.
b5) People who are not interested in MMA will tune in just to see her.

page 31

b1) And on top of that, the person hailed as the strongest female fighter in the world, Kontani-san,
b2) has picked a fight with that girl to get revenge for her teacher.
b3) This sounds like a Wrestling match...
panel) Do you like wrestling? // I used to watch with my brother...
b4) To get a woman's fight aired on national tv, some kind of attraction is needed.
b5) Female MMA is... // liked only by hardcore fans.

page 32

b1) The sponsors are still planning something else as a ploy to get more viewers.
b2) There's no way a TV station would air this otherwise...
b3) The participants haven't been announced yet,
b4) but they still want to create some kind of expectation.
b5) And you're saying,
b6) That Takenaka-san was used for that purpose?

pge 33

b1) He said: "I'm already retired...
b2) So if anything happens, it won't hurt the MMA world." // Isn't he silly?
b3) Is that what happened?
b4) After hearing that, I kind of lost my drive...
b5) But at the same time, I feel relieved.

page 34

b1) Well, whatever the case,
b2) I'm going to go all out...
b3) to beat Ringi Cordeiro.
b4) My ultimate goal is to beat a man.
b5) I can no longer be satisfied with being called the strongest woman.

page 35

b1) Now that girl is closer to that goal than I am!
b2) But... that was a setup right?
b3) I don't care!!
b4) Whether it was a setup or not, she beat Takenaka-san!
b5) That part will never go away!
b6) And there's no way I'm letting that go.
b7) You know...

page 36

b1) I'm the type won't feel better until I get revenge.
b2) That part of me hasn't changed since childhood.
panel) Ah. // I'm glad.

page 37

panel1) This woman, // is just like me.
panel2) Yeah, I totally forgot, // That's because I haven't been appearing lately. // about my original goal.
b1) But if she fought with you, you'd beat her in no time flat!
b2) Since that was only a ploy used to get viewers.
b3) Hmm. // There's actually a problem with that.

page 38

b1) Because Takenaka-san...
b2) got his ribs broken from the kick he took from that girl.
b3) Then you mean that time he jumped off the mat was...
b4) Yeah, he didn't jump, he was lifted off of it.
b5) A 80kg (167lb) man was lifted off his feet, and was knocked out cold...
b6) Right...
b7) You can't let it go either?

page 39

b1) Na-chan?
b2) Why did you suddenly get quiet like that?
panel) You don't like Segal? // I like Vandam.
b3) hmm? // I was just thinking.
b4) I never did ask...
b5) what her goal was.
box) After school.

page 40

b1) one
b2) two.
b3) Switch
b4) middle kick.
b5) Yeah, just like that.
b6) Make sure you middle kick stays right around your belly.
panel) So should I kick higher?
b7) I still can't make the switch cleanly.

page 41

b1) Besides, in MMA...
panel1) Strike, throw, grapple.
b2) there's too much to think of.
b3) The amount of time it takes a total beginner to get good enough to be in a match,
panel2) I'm getting depressed.
b4) is a year at the very least.
b5) Alright!!

page 42

bubble sfx.1) Smack
b1) oh, oh.
b2) WHOA!!
bubble sfx.2) pap

page 43

b1) As soon as they were done warming up,
panel1) They're already at master lvl...
b2) they started a 3 minute a round Mass-spar, and have been going for over an hour already.
between panels) A mass spar is a spar where you don't hit your opponent.
b3) And as an added bonus, during the 30 second interval,
b4) they do either squats or push ups.
b5) They said they were going to a regular spar after this too.
panel2) I hope they put on the head gear.
b6) What kind of stamina do they have?

page 44

b1) Oh!
b2) Natsuuuo!
b2) Natsuo-chan!

page 45

b1) Natsuuo, spar with me!
b2) Would you calm down!
panel) Are you a dog?
b3) Right now, I'm going to a gym.
b4) In order to beat you.
b5) Is that so?

page 46

b1) Mawatari-san,
b2) I see you were able to get a club started,
b3) so what exactly do you want to do?

page 47

b1) I've never heard of
b2) high school level MMA.
b3) Are you aiming to be a pro?
b4) Without going to a gym?
b5) I want...
b6) to fight with Ringi in a proper match.
b7) Isn't that...

page 48

b1) Ah.
b2) Dad.
panel) Ringi's father has come! And why did this man come to Japan? We'll find out what he's been up to in the next issue!!
