Who: Elijah Bradley and OPEN NYC Titans Where: New York City When: January 14th, 2013 What: Eli trains at the Clubhouse and is potentially there for an impromptu sparring match. Rating: PG-13
The sound of Eli hitting the punching bag could be heard throughout the whole of the clubhouse. He alternated between punches and kicks, one after the other, in no particular pattern. He hit, and he hit, and he hit some more, but there was no anger in his actions. No tension that he was unleashing. Just a keen focus honed through hours of such repetition and exercise. Taking a step back and turning side long, his arms went down in one direction away from the bag, while he threw his foot up and out. His heel collided hard enough that he heard the chain holding the bag strain as it nearly came loose from where it was mounted on the ceiling, which gave Eli cause for a small smile of satisfaction.
"Almost", he said to no one in particular.
He stopped long enough to grab a bottle of water up off the floor, take a sip, and pour the rest out over his head before falling back into step again. Soon rather than later he would have to replace the tape over his fists, but for now he was far too into his routine to do anything about it.
