Daisuke nodded in response to Chokashi’s declaration, though he did no such thing in response. Instead he took in the area around them, an area perfect for close range combatants as expected in the Akimichi compound, and the distance between them which was a little too far given that this spar would basically be the equivalent of a brawl.  Keeping his actions non aggressive he took a few steps forward, shortening the distance enough that it wouldn’t take much effort for either of them to clear it. He inhaled deeply as he cleared his mind of all other thoughts, even if this was only a spar he would not allow himself to lose just because he was distracted. He began to shift his body, settling into the starting stance of his family’s Taijutsu style.

However as he was getting into position he noticed that Chokashi was already in a defensive form, which temporarily threw Daisuke off. Given the Akimichi’s exuberant claim of not holding back he had expected the heir to charge in and take the offensive, which suited Daisuke since his style primarily relied on being on the defense. He stopped halfway into his stance as he tried to figure out what he was going to do. [color=2F4F4F][i]This is not good, not in the slightest. The only time I take an aggressive first move is when I use a jutsu, but I refuse to resort to that in this spar unless it is my only option. I have to do something though. I have to get him to get on the offensive as soon as possible.[/i][/color] 

Already in a half crouched position from his earlier attempt at getting into his stance, every muscle in his lower body tightened for a moment before he launched himself forward. Due to his earlier steps the distance between them wasn’t all that long and he cleared it fairly quickly. Upon entering Chokashi’s zone Daisuke struck out with a right jab aimed at the Akimichi’s lower left side ribs. As he thrust his right fist out, he raised his left arm up and angled it diagonally so that his hand was level with his face with the palm facing Chokashi. Whether he landed the hit or Cho dodged he would snap both his body and right arm back, placing the arm horizontally in front of his stomach it’s palm also facing his opponent completing his guard position.
