the exchange student

Beaten by a tiny girl from Japan.


My parents were not planning on going to Europe this summer as they usually
did but my Dad won a three-week trip as a prize in a sales contest where he
worked. They phoned my with the good news but said that there was one little
hitch. "We've got an exchange student from Japan coming to stay with us for
the summer and can't really leave her alone. Someone has to be here. I
arranged for a job at the company for you if you feel like coming home for the
summer. I had one more year to go at university and had been kind of slacking
off looking for a summer job so I figured why not? I had nothing better to do.
I arrived home the day before my folks were scheduled to leave for their trip.
I moved my stuff into my old bedroom and took a shower. We were sitting at the
kitchen table having dinner when the front door opened and a moment later a
tiny, beautiful Japanese girl came into the ktichen. She was no more than 5"1'
or 5"2' with long, straight, shiny black hair and a slender build. She had a
white tee shirt and shorts and I had to stop myself from staring at her legs.
They weren't particularly large, but had an extreme amount of muscular
definition, especially her calves. She moved with an athletic grace and looked
to be in very good shape. "This is Sook Lee but she likes to be called Suki."
I smiled and we shook hands. She said she had already eaten at school and
shyly excused herself to go to her room and do homework. "Her English is
pretty limited but good enough to make herself understood." my mother said.
"She's very shy but she likes to talk and she spends quite a lot of time
exercising down in your old gym room." A few years ago I had converted part of
the basement into a little workout room. I didn't really expect it to still be
set up but apparently it was. Interesting...I made a mental note to work out
the next day.

The next day I drove my parents to the airport and after seeing them off
decided drop by the university pool for a swim. On the way I noticed a very
muscular pair of female legs on a cyclist I saw ahead of me. I admired her
strong pedaling and was impressed at the speed she maintained. as I passed her
I took a quick glance in her direction. Something about her seemed familiar
but I couldn't quite place it. Later on I was relaxing on the front porch
thinking about making dinner when I saw the same cyclist coming down the
street, then turn into our driveway. It was Suki! "Hi." I said, "I didn't know
you had a bike." "Yes", she replied "bring from Japan." I took a look and saw
it was a very sleek, top qualilty racing bike." She opened the door to the
garage and put the bike inside. She opened the front door and went inside.
Eventually I started to get hungry and went inside. As I was rummaging around
the kitchen making a sandwich, I noticed some noise coming from the basement.
I finished my snack,and decided this was a good time for a workout. I quickly
changed into my gym clothes and went downstairs. Suki seemed surprised to see
me but she smiled broadly. "You also exercise?" she asked. "A little", I told
her. She looked incredible in her two piece workout suit which showed her firm
muscular little body. I started streching a little as I watched her. She was
doing ab crunches and seemed to do a tremendous number of them. I lost count
after forty-something. When she finished she went straight into a set of
jacknives, which I know from experience are a very tough exercise. After that,
it was another crunch variation and then a set of leg raises. She did all
these without stopping in between and each set was at least fifty reps. My abs
were getting sore just watching her. Following that she began stretching her
legs. She went into a full split with both legs at perfect right angles to her
body, then leaned her torso sideway and grabbed her left foot with her right
hand. She held that pose for a minute or so and then repeated it with her
other foot. From there she returned to her original split position and leaned
forward, fully extending herself until her forehead touched the floor in a
amazing display of flexibility. I was having a hard time concentrating on my
workout as everything she was doing was blowing my mind. After this last
stretch she went extended her legs straight out in front on her and lifted
herself off the ground with her arms. I had seen this move in fitness
competitions and tried it myself to absolutely no avail. She did it easily and
kept it up. Suki then began rocking herself back and forth in this position.
My god, this girl was in some kind of shape. As she sat resting on one of the
gym mats that were scattered about the room, I asked her how she got in such
good physical condition. "Do lots of exercise, yoga, judo, ride bike...also
champion wrestler in Japan," she replied. "Really?" I asked. This I had not
expected. "Yes", she said. "We have female wrestling club. Last year I win
tourmanent" she said proudly. "I wrestle too" I told her "on my college
wrestling team." We looked awkwardly at each other and seemed not to know what
to say next. Then, with stunning directness she looked me in the eye and said
"You like wrestle?" "With you?" I asked , hardly believing me ears. "Yes", she
nodded vigorously. "OK" I said.

This was too good to be true. I thought she was the cutest thing I had ever
seen and now we were going to wrestle. There was no telling where this could
lead. We pushed the gym mats together and I got on my hands and knees, waiting
for her to take the top position. It seemed only fair as I was nearly a foot
taller and had to outweigh her by at least 70lbs. However she stood up and
waited for me to get up. I guess she thought I was stretching. Apparently they
do things differently in Japan, so I stood facing her. She had a look of
absolute seriousness on her face and said "Begin?" as if it was a question. I
nodded and replied "Begin." In a flash she ducked down, grabbed my ankles and
pulled. I fell onto my back with her still holding my ankles. Then, with
lightning speed, she used a move I had never seen before. I'm even having
trouble describing it. Alright here it is, step by step. She took my right
ankle and used it to cross my right leg over my left knee. Next, she lifted my
left ankle and tucked my right foot underneath it, twisting my legs up like a
pretzel. You can actually try this on yourself and see how effective it is.
Once she had my legs in this position, she pushed my right thigh over causing
me to topple over on to my left side. She leaned her weight on my right thigh
and pulled up hard on my left ankle. It sounds pretty complicated when I try
to describe, but it was actually a very simple and utterly devastating hold.
My lower body was completely immobilized and my upper body weight was keeping
my left arm from being any use to me. The only limb I could move was my right
arm, but not for long. As I reached around behind me to try and push her off,
Suki took hod of my wrist and twisted my right arm into a brutal hammerlock.
The hold left her perfectly positioned to apply tremendous pressure, which she
was doing. I couldn't believe what had just happened. In mere seconds I was
completely helpless, unable to move any part of my body other than my head. My
legs were starting to cramp up and pain was shooting through my shoulder. My
arm had never been twisted like this. It was the most effective hammerlock I
had ever seen. I started to moan and even whimper and then I heard her ask
"Give up?" "Yes", I groaned. Although I couldn't see it, I could tell she had
a big smile on her face. "Say Uncle." she commanded. "Uncle. Uncle, I give.
You win Suki." She unlocked the hold and I slowly untied myself.

As I tried to regain my composure and process had just happened, she began to
do some more stretches, very impressive ones showing off her
contortionist-like flexibility. She stood up and waited patiently for me to
rise, obviously expecting another fall. I asked if this was going to be best
two out of three. She seemed confused by my question and I repeated it. "First
person to win twice, two out of three?" I saw the glimmer of understanding
cross her features and she smiled brightly. "Yes, win once more for my
victory." Unbelievable! She acted as if the next fall was a mere formality. I
felt I had to redeem myself. I rationalized that she'd just taken me by
surprise was all and now that I knew what she was capable of, I'd be ready for
her this time. I also decided to make the first move this time. Again she
asked if I was ready to begin and I nodded then rushed at her. I figured on
getting my arms around her in a bearhug, throwing her down and just dropping
on her. With my enormous weight advantage, that should be it. I could pin her
down and make her say "Uncle". But, as the say, the best laid plans...

She stepped back and took hold of my outstretched arm and used my momentum to
throw me over her shoulder, judo-style. I landed sort of sideways and rolled
over on my stomach. I tried to get up fast but I wasn't fast enough. Suki
staddled my legs and grabbed both my wrists in one swift move. Then, holding
onto my wrists she shot her legs under my armpits and wrapped both her feet
behind my neck. It was like a full nelson only using the legs instead of the
arms and once again, it was inescapable. I couldn't do anything except kick my
feet in frustration. My face was being pushed into the mat and I could feel
that she would be able to really hurt me if she lifted her butt up,
transfering more power to her legs. From what I had seen already I was pretty
sure she could do it. She hadn't asked for my submission but I was about to
give it anyway when I heard her speak. "This called Lotus Lock. Cannot escape,
you must give up, please." Please? Talk about being polite. But I knew she was
right. "OK, I give. Uncle." Suki released me and waited for me to turn over. I
didn't want to face this cute as a button, 100 lb. bundle of dynamite who had
totally out-classed me, handing me two overwhelming defeats in less than five
minutes. Finally I rolled over and looked up at a beaming Suki, who put her
pretty foot on my chest and flexed her hard little arms. "Now you see" she
said, "champion of wrestling." I looked up at her and nodded. "Champion of
wrestling", I agreed.
