Ieyasu watched as Mushiki blushed, he wasn't exactly sure if he did something. His gaze grew shifty, unsure if there was something on him that might have provoked such a reaction. He tried to focus as he continued on with his conversation, backing up as soon as she said she was okay with doing a spar. Personally he had been hoping she'd say something along the lines of a justsu she was trying to learn, he thought because of the way she looked that she wouldn't pose any sort of challenge for him. Then again, you couldn't judge every book by its cover.

He stood at a small distance of 3-4 feet, giving supple room between the two for the beginning of the fight but not so close as for it to be uncomfortable and some sort of clear advantage become immediately clear. Before he began, Ieyasu raised his hand up to make the Seal of Confrontation; a formality as he had been taught but often forgot to use in good spirit of a spar. He then crouched low until he was a little below level with Mushiki, holding his hands out in front of him. His legs were bent like his back, the dominant side he was using currently being slightly shown as his right foot jutted out further than the left.

A brief pause came from him until he realized something, relaxing briefly to ask Mushiki, "How intense is this spar going to be? Are we just doing a regular spar, or are you the kind of person that likes to use jutsu and tools in their spars?"

Depending upon Mushi's answer for the question, Ieyasu would prepare accordingly so.

If both jutsu and tools were allowed, Ieyasu wouldn't bother to put any sort of protection for the matter; trusting that anything used by Mushiki wouldn't be largely devastating towards him if she were to rush in like Ieyasu was about to.

"Alright—let's go!"

If tools were allowed to be used, Ieyasu's left hand would whip back and reach down into a small pouch that was at his waist. He turned slightly to the left before bringing his hand out and slung three shuriken with precision and hastiness towards Mushiki. They traveled at a diagonally right angle towards the left side of Mushiki's head. Only the rightmost and middle one would have potential to make any mark on her, but because of the light toss used in their throw they would only cause superficial wounds so long as they didn't come into contact with any sensitive areas such as Mushiki's left eye if she were to say move in the wrong direction. Of course, if this was just a simple spar with simple taijutsu this wouldn't have been used at all, but the remaining strategy would remain the same.

As soon as the shuriken were in the short air between Mushiki and Ieyasu, the juggernaut would dash in to close the distance between the two. His whole body swayed to his right side in his short advance, throwing his weight into his right arm which he threw around Mushiki's side to grab her while his left arm would secure the grip by trying to lock itself around her left arm. If the grapple were to be successful, the weight and momentum he had in his body at that moment would continue as he forcefully pivoted on his left foot while bringing up Mushiki off her feet and throwing her down onto the ground with raw power and force. The drop and applied pressure for Ieyasu falling with her would be more than enough to knock the air out of her, and possibly make her dazed and confused if she didn't tuck in her head during the fall.
