FAVORITE STRIKE
- Toba Yoko Geri

FAVORITE SUBMISSION
- Keylock

STRENGTHS
- Elastic – A bounce back, counter-attack specialist
- Quick and Agile – Slippery in a submission, speedy on his feet and with his strikes..
- Strategic - Not only a calculated assessor pre-fight, but adaptable and fluid as the fight wears on and new tactics are required.


WEAKNESSES
- Size  - Height and Weight don't help him, especially against larger opponents.
- Deathwish - He's fearless, which is good, with a never say die attitude, which is also good. But this ultimately reflects a man not overly attached to his body or its safety.
- Strength – Not the strongest, and can't often rely on overpowering foes.

AWARDS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

PRIMARY STYLE
A well-versed practitioner in the formalized five rules of defense exemplified in Shitō-ryū Karate. The best offense is a solid defense is his motto. Strikes come after successful destroying his opponent's attack. He'll rarely attack outright, more likely to tease or frustrate his opponent into making a costly strike leading to a counterstrike or takedown. 

TENDENCIES
Focused is an understatement. Tends to respond rather than act, and heavily reliant on a strong block and counterattack game.

APPEARANCE
At times clean shaven, more often a varying amount of stubble. Hair is typically messy but it generally seems to work for him. Toned and muscular in spite of his lean, semi-gaunt wiry form.

CAGE GEAR
Taped hands, taped bare feet. Bare chested, with black compression pants.

ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Almost to the point of shy. If he wins, he'll raise an arm, but the eyes won't move too far beyond the cage, and on the way to the cage he won't make eye contact.

ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
The opening synth drone of Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project pours onto the speakers. Within the tunnel, alone, head bowed as the familiar guitar line stars, Ed makes his way towards the cage calm and collected, his march incidental to the music which builds quite on its own before he reaches the cage ready to be checked by the official.

BIOGRAPHY
Ed Terryn doesn't have much of a biography. He doesn't have anyone in his circle, and tends to keep to himself. Boring, eh?
