"I will accept this request due to the fact I need to understand how you fight. However I will not be using my tools, seeing how they can severely injure you."
Samuel had told Eddie as he unclipped his belt and holsters, placing them on the crate.
With a clench of his left fist the temperature had dropped severely around it, ice forming around into a Morningstar shape.
"My exosuit is more than enough to take you on."
With that statement Samuel had gotten into a more relaxed version of a Muay Thai fighting stance and beckoned Eddie to make the first strike, taking good note of his stance.

[spoiler]Sorry for the late reply. I feel motivated to lose now. [/spoiler] Eddie took note of the stance, and remembered one of the first lessons that Butler had taught him: how to look for weaknesses. Muay Thai practitioners relied heavily on kicks, including roundhouses that resulted in dropped guards. Taking advantage of that would involve stepping into kicks, which was a bit close for comfort. But that exoskeleton was intimidating, and being on the end of those kicks would not be good. Eddie suddenly lunged forwards with his bo-staff, slamming the electrified tip into the wrist of the icy Morningstar. The staff was heavy, and meant to incapacitate extremities. Without breaking the flow, Eddie split the staff into two, stepped in closer, and took an upwards jab at the shoulder of the Morningstar hand with one escrima stick, while the other stood in a ready position.
