Fight
I smile after a fist connects
Adrenaline rush
Aware of each movement
Circular movement
countered with linear
A side kick
to check movement
followed by a
back fist
spinning
side kick
Getting hit
rib shot
followed with
a high punch
dodged
then
a back foot
roundhouse
I raise
the knee
to block
elbow to counter
front kick
blocked to the outside
turning to clear and punch
blocking
countering
we disengage
reengage
a dance between friends
blood sweat and tears makes the best friends nearly family
