Akita didn't have time to roll away from Gin's fists so she held her hands up.  She tried to find just one slip up so she could get in and hit him.  Roshi's training was mainly strength, not fighting skill, so she felt pretty limited.  A couple of Gin's hits got through, three good ones hitting her in the face and another in the stomach.  She felt sick and could tell her nose was spewing blood even though she didn't wipe her nose.  It didn't seem like Gin was going to miss a punch, so Akita stepped to the side a bit, creating an opening in his ribs, and threw out two quick straight punches.  She took a step back and snapped her foot out in a straight push kick to his stomach. Her arms were now pained from the absorbed hammer blow and Gin's punches, but she would manage.  The pain in her left foot was almost gone as adrenaline was full blown.  It was a little difficult to breath from her nose so she became a mouth breather.
