WRESTLING INFORMATION
Wrestling Style: Mai mixes her professional wrestling training of the recent year with her previous multiple years of actual martial arts training. She combines technical submission and Strong Style wrestling with strikes from Krav Maga, and counters, takedowns and submissions taken from her study of Systema. She knows a tiny bit of Judo and BJJ from her time in the Marines.

Years Pro: 0

Finisher(s)
- Blackman’s Bounty: Triangle Chokehold that she’ll pull off in any situation she can; even running and leaping at the opponent.

- The System: A Systema spinning back elbow strike directly to the face. At the very least, it opens them to a pin but Mai hopes it knocks them out. Mai uses this against the more discipline savvy opponents who know how to scout grapples. It’s harder to scout a quick, sudden strike when you get caught up exchanging shots back and forth.




Signature(s)
- Chicago Kiss: Quite simply a stiff headbutt but Mai tends to pull it off in almost any situation, even during pop-ups.

Used as a setup for one of her finishers. The headbutt stuns them, leaving them open.

- Modified Sitting Fujiwara Armbar: Basically, Becky Lynch’s Disarm-Her but Mai tucks the arm under her armpit, wraps tight and wrenches back to apply extra pressure.

Note: This is one of those instances the commentators would react with horror, commenting on the torque Mai is putting on and the angle of the arm.

- Hook Kick: A maneuver she takes from her martial arts training. It's as if she's going to superkick them from behind but her leg goes passed their head and she snaps her leg in, essentially throwing a hook with her foot right across their jaw. It's not normally something she likes to do but she's learned from Janet that a wrestler needs to keep the crowd interested so she figured she'd throw in something a little flashy but effective.


Common Moves
1. Single/Double Leg Takedown
2. Waistlock STO Takedown, Headstomp combo
3. Scissor Leg Takedown into a submission hold (Usually counters stomp attempts with this)
4. Octopus Stretch
5. Ankle Pick
6. Cobra Clutch
7. DDT into a chokehold - She hits a rolling DDT, using the momentum to flip the opponent over onto their back but maintains her grip around their neck while they're on their back and tightens up. It's a modified Systema maneuver.
8. Rolling Kneebar
9. Arm Drags
10. Shoot Throw - You’ve all seen in UFC how they shoot in, pick them up around the waist and slam them down. Mai uses this to gain the ground advantage and punish the opponent.
11. Kata Hajime/Sometimes turned into a suplex
12. Indian Deathlock
13. Inside/Outside Dragonscrew
14. Stiff punches and kicks based around Systema
(These are different from her Krav Maga strikes as they are faster and don't focus on much use of the elbows and knees. She loves to get them trapped in a corner and go to town.)
15. Back Body Drop
16. Cradle DDT
17. Guillotine Choke
18. German Suplex Variations (Snap, Bridge, Deadlift, etc)
19. Krav Maga Strikes (Stiff punches, kicks, knees and elbows meant to wear the opponent down)
20. Flying Armbar (Usually used when her and her opponent are charging each other and they go for a lariat. She literally jumps and takes the arm.)
21. Saito Suplex
22. Belly to Belly Suplex
23. Scissorhold Headlock (Used to counter out of a pinfall cover after kicking out. She literally throws her legs up and catches their head. From there, she can hold that position or take an arm)
24. Rolling Wristlock - They grab her in a rear waistlock, she rolls forward, taking them with her and administers a wristlock
25. Legsweep (Catches the kicking leg and sweeps the other leg out, knocking them on their face. Will usually hold the caught leg and go for a submission)
26. Gogoplata
27. Snapmare into a chokehold
28. Ground Mounted Punches/Forearms/Elbows
29. Grounded Knees to the ribs or shoulders, based on how she takes them down
30. Tomoe Nage (You could compare it to a sort of Monkey Flip. It’s used in Judo to quickly go to a ground mount)
