Too Late

Standing in front of her students, the petite woman showed them the basic steps first. Earlier they have reviewed the stances and punches. Now they will learn to block.

“Start with your blocking arm placed at the ear and non-blocking arm placed at the height of your belly button. Slide your blocking arm downwards along the other arm as it goes downwards and simultaneously bring the non-blocking arm to the hip position. Step into the front stance as you finish the downward block technique.” Katherine instructed, her voice clear and loud.

The students however were struggling where to put their arms. Some would accidentally hit their face instead while others are doing it too fast and mixing it with other moves that they’ve seen in movies, trying to impress the others. The new students who were on the far left however were quietly following the steps.
