Testing Jungle Metal Against the Iron

[ZorzLeth]

Fang raised her arms like a shield to block the push kick from Hiro. Still, with Hiro physically stronger, the kick did push Fang back a bit as they made some distance.

"So keen to push a lady away?" Fang playfully teased, "I am hoping to learn a few good tricks." Fang then moved in to go for sweeping kick to Hiro's legs and, if that failed she would follow it up with an uppercut kick.

Luckily for Hiro that little distance away from Fang was all he needed to react to her attacks accordingly. As soon as she went for the sweep Hiro just backed away with his bouncy foot work and when she went for the follow up, Hiro would sway his head back before backing off.

His back was against the rope and Hiro had his guard up high. He was willing to let Fang burn herself up in the first round In there Sparring session.

Fang jumped back up into the pose that she started with at the beginning of the match; showcasing bouncy foot work as well while also raising her arms back up to boxer position. She noted that Hiro did not make attempts to attack her. Was he observing her movements, to gauge her skills, or was he letting her waste energy with attacks like those? Either way, her chances of landing any hits at this moment would be hard; if not impossible, since Hiro would clearly dodge her attacks.

"Come on now." Fang said, trying to initiate a conversation as they sparred, "I doubt that I got the 'leg' up on you that you can't fight back." She smirked in a playful way, indicating that she meant no malice and was joking. Of course, she did try one strategy. She circle Hiro and made some feign moves; pretending to charge and go for a kick, only to hold off. She was trying to either get him to respond and make a move she could attempt to avoid and counter or position him into one of the corners.

Hiro was always cautious in the first round, which is why he was mostly evading and throwing smaller shots. He was trying to get the feel of his opponent and it seemed that the ex Japanese Kockboxer might have figured out Fang.

Once she started to converse with him Hiro would look at the timer and realized that time might be up, so he waited for Fang to make a move. As soon as she charged in Hiro only backed off and moved away before returning back to her once she had attempted a Feint.

With time almost running out Hiro would go for a roundhouse kick but with his lead leg, which was closer and quicker to Fang's gut area. If successful Hiro would attempt to do a quick rush attack and follow up with a quick one-two punch, switch stance, and another powerful body kick!

Fang saw the attack coming. She moved back just enough to not feel the full impact Hiro's kick (which was aimed at her gut). She did feel the impact somewhat and was glad to have not taken the full hit. Of course, Hiro was clearly not done as Fang saw him come at her with a quick two-punch move. She quickly raised her hands to block these as she backed up. Then, she retaliated and bringing up her right leg for a powerful kick of her own. The kick was aiming for Hiro's ribs. While she would take the full impact of that second kick, Fang was hoping to at least land a powerful kick on Hiro.

Despite the first miss Hiro would rush forward and managed to land his second kick aimed to Fang's abdomen area. The blow should cause his opponent to lose some air, while Hiro took a kick to the rib area which caused the jaoanese kickboxer to flinch a bit.

Before Hiro could continue his assault he heard the timer rang as he instantly stopped.

"First round is done..."

Hiro briefly said as he just walks to his corner and taking in deep breaths and some water. The rib shot did hurt him for a bit but luckily he was recovering thanks to the 30 second timeout as Hiro looked ready to get back into it.

[ZorzLeth]

Fang did lose some air as she almost released a full gasp from Hiro's kick. Of course, she could tell that Hiro flinch a bit from her kick to his ribs, so she felt some satisfaction knowing that she managed to land a hit to make up for her getting kicked in the abdomen. As Hiro called for timeout, Fang stepped back and grabbed a water bottle.

As Fang went to grab a water bottle from her bag, she noticed that there was a bit of sweat on her arm. She knew that even if this was a sparring match, this would be a challenge.

"So any critiques so far, Mr. Takakashi?" Fang asked out of curiosity to see how she was doing in Hiro's eyes.

[Weonna]

"No...not yet. But I'll be able to give my full review when this Sparring session is over Miss Fang~"

Hiro would begin the second round as he would reset the timer. Once the next round began Hiro was still bouncy, thanks to his Kyokushin Karate background and was ready to begin the assault! Hiro was waiting for an quick attack as he would come forward and try to hit Fang with a quick blitz as he faked a jab and ran forward for a straight right hand.

[ZorzLeth]

"I'm sure there's plenty of things you can give." Fang teased again with another flirt, but nodded in acknowledgment that she would wait until the end of the session to get some real feedback from Hiro. The two then got back into position as the timer restarted.

Fang was thinking about what to do next. She knew that Hiro was physically stronger than her, so he would no doubt rain down a barrage of attacks on her. She decided to make some careful side-stepping moves to avoid the hits.

It was then she saw Hiro come at her with that quick blitz. She side-stepped the jab he made, only to barely realize it was a trick as he came at her with a straight right hand. She braced her wrists and felt the hit connect. It definitely hurt, but Fang had to ignore the pain and immediately retorted and reached to grab Hiro's head. Trying to pull Hiro's head down, Fang's plan was to hook his body down a bit and barrage his gut with several gut-wrenching knee strikes.

[Weonna]

Hiro had been using that blitz in some of his fights as they key was the speed. After lunging forward and hitting Fang with it, his opponent would retaliated by grabbing at Hiro's head!

The Japanese Kickboxer recognized what Fang was gonna do as Hiro has a lot of experience fighting opponents from Thailand and once she had clinched up Hiro, he began to place his hands down and block the knee strikes before getting closer to Fang to get chest to chest with her, before placing his hand underneath her armpit and just threw her away!
