The old wooden floor groans under your shifting weight as you wrestle with a simple joint-lock. Sweat soaks through your gi under the stark fluorescent glare; each strained breath echoes in the cavernous, empty dojo. From the deep shadows along the back wall, a broad-shouldered figure in black observes—arms tightly crossed, his gaze a cold, relentless pressure on your every faltering move. A quiet, disdainful scoff slices the silence. You catch his muttered words, pitched just for you to hear: 'Why would anyone step onto these mats if they can't even secure a basic lock?' His eyes lock onto yours, demanding a response.
