Katsurou strolled into his fathers dojo some time in the mid afternoon. The place was alive with activity, many came to train here, and Katsurou was here to do the same. Looking around Katsurou could see the punch bags were all in use, but one of the practise rings was empty, Katsurou had a quick glance around for someone to train with. Stepping into the practise ring Katsurou's father waved to him, walking over to Katsurou he said "I'll train with you, what you got in mind for today?" Katsurou was here to learn a new defensive move, and after a quick discussion with his father he was ready to begin training.

Katsurou stood opposite his father and stepped into the upright stance known to all boxers, his father mirrored his actions opposite him. Katsurou had read the information in regards to his new ability before entering the dojo. The principle was simple, he had to avoid a punch then step inside his opponents reach to land his own blows. He nodded to his father to demonstrate he was ready to commence.

Without a seconds hesitation Katsurou's father threw a punch straight towards Katsurou's nose. At that moment it was as if the whole dojo slowed down. Katsurou's father had punched with his left, meaning Katsurou needed to move to the right and get in close. Katsurou tensed his neck as he attempted to move his head quickly to the right. Katsurou soon found his first attempt to be unsuccessful as the punch struck him in the left side of the face. Katsurou had managed to at least move enough to avoid taking the punch to the nose.

Shaking his head to clear the ringing in his ear left by the connection of his fathers punch. Katsurou looked to his father who simply grinned in response and threw another punch aimed for Katsurou's head, this time with his right. Katsurou only had a fraction of a second to act. Tensing his muscles Katsurou quickly moved his head to the left avoiding the punch. As he stepped in to land his own hits a quick from his father sent him tumbling to the floor. Looking down at him his father laughed "Good attempt, but too slow on the movement."

Katsurou picked himself off the floor, brushed himself off and stepped back into the Upright Stance. He once again nodded to begin. Once again his father threw a straight punch aimed for Katsurou's face, he swung with his left. The blow was fast and strong, but this Katsurou was beginning to get the hang of stepping inside. He moved his head almost instinctively to the right, at the same time stepping that direction also. Before his father's first punch had completed Katsurou threw a quick jab to the gut. Stepping away Katsurou grinned as his father caught his breath, slightly winded by the jab.

Katsurou looked to his father who had now regained his breath and composure. "Good job, but far from perfect, lets continue shall we." Katsurou once again nodded to begin, ready in his Upright Stance. This time it seemed his father was no longer pulling his punches. Throwing a straight right directly towards Katsurou's face, this punch seemed far faster than previous ones. Katsurou made the effort to quickly move inside the blow. Katsurou had no chance, he failed to avoid the blow and was hit in the side of his head, sending him sprawling to the floor.

The punch had left him somewhat dazed as he climbed back to his feet. He rubbed his face quickly trying to get rid of the fuzzy feeling in his head. His father laughed as Katsurou shook off the last of dazed feeling and stepped back into his upright stance. Katsurou was frustrated with himself after the last attempt, he wasn't fast enough. Again he nodded to his father to begin. The straight punch was sudden and powerful, swinging with his right aimed directly for Katsurou's nose. Katsurou suddenly moved, almost instinctively to the left, stepping inside the punch as it skimmed past his ear. As he moved Katsurou aimed a short flurry of jabs at his fathers ribs and gut, causing him to buckle over.

Katsurou stepped back to allow his father time to regain his composure, the flurry had left him slightly out of breath. Katsurou rolled his right shoulder as he moved back into his Upright Stance. Katsurou's father took the nod this time, letting Katsurou know that he had regained his footing. Once more the punch flew towards Katsurou, he tried to move inside the punch, but was not as fast, he could feel the onset of fatigue, he was getting slow and was becoming tired. Despite this he still managed to evade the first punch, but was off balance. Seeing this, before Katsurou could step to land his own punches, his father hit him in the head with a heavy hook. Staggered Katsurou stepped back, shaking his head, he was trying to get past the tiredness he now felt.

It had been a long training session and Katsurou could feel bruises beginning to emerge on his face where he had failed to avoid punches. Katusrou's father looked at him questioningly "Are you okay to continue? We can carry on another time. Katsurou immediately shook his head, he could and would carry on. Stepping back into the upright stance, he would get this done, nodding once more to indicate he was ready. His father stepped forward with his right foot and threw what could only be described as a haymaker right at Katsurou.

Katsurou knew he had to avoid this punch, if this one connected he would be likely K.O'd. Suddenly Katsurou felt wide awake, the prospect of getting hit lighting a fire inside him. As the punch sailed towards Katsurou's face he moved his head inside and quickly stepped the same direction. Before his father would have time to react Katsurou aimed a heavy uppercut at his fathers chin. It connected hard, knocking his father onto his back side.

Katsurou put his hand out, offering to help his father back to his feet. Looking back at Katsurou his father wiped a small trickle of blood from the side of his mouth, grinned and took Katsurou's hand, before getting back to his feet. "You've done good today son, but I think we'll leave it there for now." said his father, and with that they bowed, left the ring and Katsurou went about his business.
