His opponent displayed a decent amount of skill, using the short space and footwork to move to the left and deflect the attack. This exposed his right side, which his opponent cleverly went for with a tight uppercut. Tre'Yan was without the use of his left side to attack or defend. However, he had not fully committed to his return jab, and had some control over the limb. As his opponents uppercut honed in, the trained boxer tucked his shoulder quickly, perhaps not quick enough, to use his shoulder to absorb some of the blow. He would use the man's own technique in his own way. The blow made contact, displaying some of the power the master had hidden within him, but Tre'Yan was used to boxing against those who possessed the strength of fist. His movements weren't wasted, the moment the fist made contact, Tre'Yan used his body to both turn, returning his left arm to the fray, and attempting to push his opponents frame in a circle. This would, if successful, work twofold. The first part would obscure his left fist that was aiming to land a vicious hook to the body of the man, with enough power to push him away, if guarded against and his opponent didn't possess a high level of stability. The second, aimed to address the first - his movement to turn the man, using his upper arm and shoulder, would hopefully dislodge him enough to allow the hit to find it's mark. Tre'Yan was still testing the man, and had learned a few things already. He was abrasive and headstrong, confident in his abilities, and more than willing to trade blows. But how long would that last, when Tre'Yan was trained to use his fists to maximum effect?
