Description

As soon as Jo clenched her fists and raised her guard, Jade rushed in for an attack. No feeling out, no tactical moves, just raw power, as she launched herself into the air with a flying knee. The raw power and explosiveness were evident in her move and Jo almost got beheaded as she took a moment too long to admire them. Tonya Jaa would be proud. Jade however, didn’t seem to want to give her time to gush over her. A quick jab, followed by a right hook, narrowly zipped past her head. The latina’s movements were oozing confidence. Well then, Jo thought. Let’s match her energy.

Although taken aback initially, Jo welcomed the intense pace, so different from all her previous spars. There was indeed much Jade could teach her. Dodging another strike aimed at her face, she threw a counter which Jade blocked with her left elbow, using the torque of the movement to swing at her with a right hook. Such relentlessness! The exchange went on and on, Jo’s body going on autopilot, evading blow after blow as her conscious mind struggled to keep up. Duck, sidestep, counter, block. There seemed no end to the rain of punches the latina was unleashing, and Jo did her best to reciprocate. Smacks and thuds filled the air, accompanied by sharp exhales. Jade didn’t let loose. She stepped forward, almost on top of Jo now. An opportunity!

Diving underneath Jade’s fist, she twisted her body away from the latina, who was now above and behind her. A quick glance over the shoulder, then a sharp turn and she rammed a spinning elbow into the side of Jade’s head.

“Phew!” Jade exclaimed, rubbing her temple as she jumped away to a safe distance. “Sweet move!”

“Thanks!” Jo put her hands on her hips. “How long do you think you can keep this up?”

“Longer than you!”

Jo snickered. “Prove it then!”

“Don’t mind if I do!”

Again, Jade rushed in, launching another barrage of punches. The change from the smiling woman engaged in playful banter to the stone cold killer was so abrupt, Jo struggled to raise her guard up in time. The first blow connected with her forearms instead of her nose. Another one hit her elbow, and a third one glanced off her upper arm. Apparently Jade had taken the challenge seriously, not showing any signs of stopping. Time for a change of strategy. Jo raised her hands even higher, thereby exposing her body. Almost instantly, the latina took the bait. The next punch landed square on her upper abs with a dull smack of bone against skin. A familiar sting, mixed with the pressure from the raw power of the punch, spread through her torso. But Jo held firm.

Jade’s eyes widened for a moment. Maybe she hadn’t expected her blow to be absorbed so easily, or maybe she had doubted it would hit at all. No matter. Jo used the split second to her advantage, slamming a right hook into her ribs. A grimace of pain flashed over Jade’s face, before she composed herself again and went for another attack, this time for the head. Already? Jo didn’t think her opponent would be discouraged so easily. Whatever, Jo thought. She’ll recognize the futility of those strikes sooner or later.

Too late did Jo realize it was just a feint. Just as she leaned backwards to let the attack pass over her head, a fist smacked into her stomach, catching her off guard. Although she flexed instantly, the damage had been done. She stumbled back, with Jade hot on her heels. And before Jo could recover, another blow ripped into her side. She gritted her teeth, letting out a strained grunt, and braced for the third punch which landed on her navel. At the same moment, she went for her patented counter. But it missed!

Jo blinked, unsure of what had happened. Then it dawned on her: The punch had fallen only a few inches short, with Jade just out of range, playing the edge of her reach expertly.
