Johnny watched as the man in front of him slowly closed the distance, step by step. He kept his foot a tapping, keeping the beat even as he braced himself. He knew that the opponent couldn't see the flexing and tensing of his muscles beneath his suit, an advantage he knew he had against those speedier, faster fighters. He'd fought one of those types before, some wicked speedster on another world who he'd fought without his jacket on. As the fight had worn on, his trademark suit had gotten holes punched in it and he knew his opponent was reading his muscles to know where he'd strike next. Only a combination of concussive sound kicks had put the guy down for good. He didn't want to have to find another tailor today. As the young man advanced towards him, he readied himself. His left foot shifted gently forward as his right moved slightly back. Tap tap tap. An swiveled and began a clockwise spin. Johnny caught sight of the fighter's right leg raising itself in preparation for kick. Oh one of these. He knew this kick like the back of his hand; it was one of the same kicks he'd been taught as part of his style's repetoire. With a small smile, probably unnoticed, he simply placed a hand on his hat to keep it there as he plain ducked underneath the swinging kick, bowing forward slightly as he kept his foot a tapping. As he straightened himself back up he rolled his shoulders, cricked his neck and ran a hand along the brim of his hat. Time to dance, flyboy. A hand shot up towards the conductor of the band.

He clicked his heel on the floor, following the starting beat as he let the tune infuse into his body. Tap tap tap tap. Eyes closed. Follow the beat. Let the music breathe through you. Tap tap tap tap. You are the beat. The music follows you. Let it guide your feet. Tap tap tap tap. Johnny clacked his heels together, swiveling on his toes so his feet came together in a V shape. He smiled, running a hand down one of the lapels of his jacket. Distraction. Hold his attention elsewhere. Tap tap tap tap. He swept imaginary dust off his sleeve, two swipes of his hand, in time to the music. Tap tap tap tap. Both his hands pulled his jacket straight, a short sharp motion in time with the beat, accentuated with a quick stamp on the floor. Tap tap tap tap. He bowed again, a hand to his hat, a smile on his face. Tap tap tap tap. [indent][i]Clap your hands![/i][/indent] Left foot tap, right foot follow, left tap, right stamp.

[indent][i]Everybody's happy when they're doing the jive![/i][/indent] Here we go! Without warning his right foot shot up almost vertical, his body sideways facing to An's right. With his left hand on his hat, he grinned as he brought his leg straight back down in a lightning quick axe kick in the same beat, the metal-plated heel of his shoe screaming downward to meet An's head, if he didn't do anything about it. All this just a few seconds after he'd dodged that kick.
