Sinai kept her left foot forward to solidify her balance and her stance, since she just threw a punch with her left foot. The catching of this fist was a decent surprise and it locked them in place. Sinai could feel her opponents weight shift to her right side, which meant something was coming from Sinai's left. both hands were accounted for so the knee to the stomach was taken as Sinai shifted her weight from her left foot to her right foot. she pushed hard against he blade with her right arm while she lifted her left foot quickly into the kidney of the opponent. her stomach stung but moving away from the blow lessened the damage, but still hurt. Sinai snatched her hand back to release her hand from kiesa's grasp and swung again with a palm strike, a Tessho. if it landed that would be great but it was really intended to put knock her completely off balance by making her dodge. as Rio might be noting, Most of Sinai's moves are precise, she has both hit and miss strategies for most of her strikes.

Kesia felt pressure from Sinai's sword, even though she could of simply raised her energy to force Sinai's sword back towards her, she chose not to. This was a spar to show Sinai's skills after all so to make Rio's job easier, Keisa held her sword with the same amount of pressure, allowing Sinai to push her backwards a little and land a kick to her side. Keisa strengthened her stance to take all of the force behind the kick without moving, which was a decent amount in Keisa's opinion. As she let Sinai wiggle out of her grip, Keisa's eyes kept on Sinai's face as the girl attempted a Tessho, which Kesia simply moved her head to the right so Sinai's palm moved passed Keisa's head across her left shoulder, meanwhile Keisa headed forward aiming to head-butt Sinai and send her flying back.
