Loss - Choice

I just smiled as I put on my gloves and walked to the center of the gym.

Tatiana and I rushed at each other the moment the bell rang but I goaded her into attacking first. I made an imaginary circle with my head and I challenged myself not to leave that spot no matter what. It proved to be incredibly difficult because of the person attacking me and I had to take some hits in order to complete my challenge. She immediately noticed what I was doing so she lifted up from the ground, swiping her feet in the area I was supposed to be in twice, while still in mid-air.

I felt the force behind her kick as I ducked down but I tried to sweep her off her feet the moment she lands.
