As he starts the retraction for the strike, she steps forward to lightly make contact between their bodies in the general sense, and then she moves before he even starts to push the strike forward, meaning to step out of his way, but he's just that much faster than her. Still, she was reacting to his attack before it was clear that he was making it, even though she failed.

*He blinked... true he'd landed the blow (albeit pulled) but he saw what she had done* okay.. that was impressive, now what did I just see... I know you reacted instantly, how?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 24, 2011 12:01:42 AM)
"I felt what you were doing with your body because they were touching. The body can react faster than the eyes." She shrugs, ready for another attack.

Craig Killian (Feb 24, 2011 12:03:59 AM)
*He paused... thought about that, and this time his blow came from below, a kick, aimed to land not on her but just brushing her side... since he had a notion she was going to react fast... (4 again. DR likes that number for me)

And she used their body contact, rolling around and under his leg, without ever losing contact with it. When they froze after the move was done, she was leaning slightly on his leg before it was withdrawn.

*He nodded, stood back up* I have to practice this. Commit it to memory. I have a confession to make on this regard. I know no rotes.

"Rolling Hands is a really useful one to learn, because you can use it to attack as well." She says, demonstrating the roll again under his legs quickly and then tapping under his leg with a knuckle and a soft smile. "If you roll off the attack, you almost get a free hit."

Craig Killian (Feb 24, 2011 12:10:38 AM)
*he smiled, drew up, clasped his hands in the traditional way, and bowed to her* You honor me with your openness Janelle. I think it was very wise of me to speak to you that day in Battery Park.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 24, 2011 12:11:37 AM)
"And you're using the word correctly now. You honour me just by that. Thank you." She beams proudly and bows deeply to him with a dropped knee.

Craig Killian (Feb 24, 2011 12:12:13 AM)
*He laughed* I do believe I was before but I certainly can't argue your logic.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 24, 2011 12:13:37 AM)
She sticks out her tougue at him, and goes back into a ready pose. "Now shh. Let's practice seriously for an hour or two before I need to get sleep for tomorrow, okay?"

Craig Killian (Feb 24, 2011 12:14:53 AM)
*He held one hand up* To the basement. Let's do this properly in the training room rather than the living room lest we hurt ourselves on the Hello Kitty Chain Saw... *and he headed downstairs... (But it's after 11 PM and TPO has to get up at 5 AM... so I'm about needing to bug out.)

Janelle Timberland (Feb 24, 2011 12:15:49 AM)
(Sounds good. I'm shopping tomorrow (SHOPPING! *GLEE*) so I'll be gone until the evening.)

Craig Killian (Feb 24, 2011 12:16:56 AM)
("sall good man. I gotta work. No rest for the wicked. I'll be around in the evening, hit me up on skype if you like.)

Janelle Timberland (Feb 24, 2011 12:17:28 AM)
(You too. I like being bugged for RP.)

Craig Killian (Feb 24, 2011 12:18:36 AM)
(No worries. Ifn I see you I'll gibbs ya. ;-) )

Janelle Timberland (Feb 24, 2011 12:18:48 AM)
(^_^ Thanks. Night!)
