OOC: Don't have much time before my mission but I don't wanna leave you stuck there so I'm trying to get something out.

Iris's retaliation was swift following his successful strike. "Damn, she's good." he thought, trying to figure her out. With the score now 2 to his 1, he had to step up his game if he wanted to win this. He shifted to a stance similar to the one before but instead of his feet in a side to side manor, he was front to back. (If that makes sense, he rotated to be thin instead of wide stance?) Josh breathed deep again, it seemed to help. Holding the stick with both hands in the center in front of him. He then rushed at her, shifting his left hand down the stick to give leverage on a powerful swing. This swing was a ploy however. As the right side of the stick drew close to her, he dropped to the ground along with the left side of the staff. Quickly planted his hand on the ground and went for a leg sweep. She said it herself, gotta keep the enemy guessing, change it up. He thought this one through and knew that if she managed to counter, especially by jumping over his foot. He'd only have a moment but he could perform a tuck and roll, and assume a standing position to be ready for another attack.
