Amanda's attack landed on Angela's head. Angela staggered for a moment. The elbow strike had landed quite heavily. Feeling the impact of her elbow, Amanda quickly followed up with more strikes.
Angela raised her guard as she had been trained to do. Amanda pushed Angela while attacking.
"Keep your guard up and look for an opening!" Yu Jung-ak shouted. From the outside, it looked like Angela was completely rocked. However, while she was stunned, she wasn't fully rocked. Amanda's elbow had landed accurately, but it had hit the head above the temple rather than the temple itself.
An elbow to the head is impactful, but not as much as one to the temple.
This was a fortunate situation for Angela. And Angela had trained countless times to defend in situations like this. Her guard now came up almost reflexively. Angela tightened her guard, compressed her body, and tensed up.
It was almost like a bodybuilder striking a pose.
