His first strike actually comes before you enter what you thought to be his striking range. His hand almost seems to extend in a whiplike fashion, changing trajectory mid-blow. Swaying backwards you manage to cleanly evade the first attack. More blows race after you but with relaxed upper body movement you can cleanly evade his rush with no issue. With your reflexes and striking experience, even irrregular blows like these are nothing too threatening to you. In response you fire off with your own compact jabs. The power of each individual strike isn't too great, but it has significant pop thanks to your clean technique. You hit Shuji with the first punch square in the nose, and he ducks under the second and backsteps away from the third.
This time he steps forward to engage you, and you take your own step back. As he enters your range you fire off a series of jabs. Some of them he parries but others hit hit square on. Your feet stop moving for just a moment as you throw a punch and pivot directions, and the Snake-Style user's arms suddenly tangle themselves up in yours.
What, is he a boa constrictor? He was waiting for the moment you stopped moving to grab you. Seems like he's given up on his strikes already.
There's suddenly a piercing pain and a wet warmth coming from both of your triceps. He's using his powerful pinch grip to tear right into your flesh using the clinch. There's not much room to move your arms now without making the pain worse, nd this old guy is actually pretty physically strong.
