Fight Night
"You may begin!"
All I know is my partners eyes.
They flick toward my head
His hand follows his line of sight.
Adrenaline.
Slide to the right
Extend my arm to to punch his solar plexus.
Contact.
He lashes out again to hit my head.
He connects.
I launch a volley of strikes.
Very few land.
He kicks my stomach and propels me back.
Maybe more of my punches hit then I thought.
We circle
I engage with a side kick
Cue another round of punches
These meant only to confuse.
He sees though it
Connects with my cheek.
I catch his incoming kick
Down he goes.
I fall on him
Pin him with my full body weight
He is stronger.
Flips me over.
Now i'm being crushed.
My elbow digs into his thigh
"Relax!"
Shouts Sensi.
We stand.
Bow.
And find new partners.
