Kai quickly learned that defense wasn't exactly his forte.
Every time his sparring partner sent a strike, Kai was very slow to defend himself, instead thinking of all the ways he could strike his opponent. A low kick was sent flying toward his legs, but instead of raising his shin in defense like he was shown, Kai's first instinct was to attack.
As his leg flared with a burning pain, Kai cursed his aggressive tendencies. Resetting his stance, Kai narrowed his eyes, focusing on his opponent.
'Let's try some defense this time, huh.'
Closing his legs a little to provide his structure with more support, Kai readied himself for the next strike. This time his partner raised his foot high, aiming straight for his head. If he faltered for even a second, Kai knew he'd be knocked out. Quickly ducking the strike, Kai raised his arms for the next attack.
