She cursed at missing getting in a good hit, he wasn't as out of practice as she thought he was.
She should have anticipated the feint but she didn't which meant his blow hit her hard along her ribs. She went down but rolled coming to her feet in a fluid movement. Now her adrenaline was pumping. She moved quickly and dropped when she got close enough to swipe her leg around the back of his knees and as she swung her arm around to catch him in the stomach as he staggered or went down.
