The punches came quick and light, the blocks nearly perfect except the last one. The hit to the gut was a shock. He moved out and to the side.
SMACK .
A kick. She had moved in and his block wasn’t quick or high enough. He rubbed his face for less than a millisecond before jumping forward with a kick of his own.
She moved to his inside nearly missing being kicked and brought an elbow to his ribs. Without touching him she retreated.
An older gentleman entered the room, paying them no attention.
The young fighter puffed his chest, and smashed his fists together. She crouched low, hoping to get out of the way of his fast punches.
Her foot jumped up, catching him in the gut just as his foot came up to nearly hit her face. She moved in close for another elbow.
The older man clapped his hands.They both stopped and smiled, bowing slightly. She leaned over to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. Together they joined the class in warm-ups.

    You seemed to be trying to keep that this was just sparring a surprise, but I don’t think it worked very well. Biggest tipoff was probably that it was a guy and a girl fighting, but both were well trained… not common in everyday scenarios. The abundance of blocks without interleaved counterattacks seems uncommon for any sort of serious fight, as well.

    Still, props for well written-ness.

    Good job.
