[requiemed]

[She does just that, bringing her hand up to catch his in her palm.]

Like that?

[divus]

Yeah, exactly that. It'll hurt a lot more if it's moving faster, but keep your hand strong and you can stop somebody in their tracks. You can also grip onto your opponent's fist to twist their arm and gain the advantage. You can use other parts besides your hands for blocking, too. Your upper arms are a good blockade.

[She lets go of his hand, nodding.]

Again, then?

[divus]

Yeah. I'll go a little faster, try to knock my arm off-course. Ready? [Still no waiting for an answer as he hauls back and swings with a little more power and speed.]

[requiemed]

[This time, she brings her arm up to try and knock his aside; at the same time, though, she shifts back almost instinctively.]

Like that?

[divus]

Close, but you don't want to run away from a fight if you don't have to. Try and stand your ground.

[requiemed]

[She nods, then, shifting so she's back in the position he showed her.]

Again.

[divus]

[There's a nod, and he brings his hand up to zip forward a little faster to throw another punch, watching her hands to make sure she'll block.]
