Settling into the stance Kaname showed him, Jimmy watched her warily, keeping his body loose and ready to react. "I'm ready when you are." He hoped he was, anyway - he'd always done better dodging blows than blocking them.
"Okay, try blocking this?" She brought her fist forward and stopped it just as it got to his shoulder, and then brought her leg out for a kick but was careful not to make it too powerful.
The runner lifted his arm to block the punch, shifting his weight as he did so. When it failed to connect, he had a moment to realize it was a feint before the kick caught him, causing Jimmy to rock back slightly. He scowled briefly, then grinned. "Alright, I should've seen that coming."
Kaname smiled playfully, "I don't do this often, not since I came to this island anyway. It's fun not having to fight for our lives. Well, I'd say you got blocking down, minus that little trick I pulled" She smiled again "When you punch, throw your body into it, don't hold back if it's your only defense. Kicks are good as well, but can be blocked easier when facing an opponent up front." She let up her stance a little, "Now try landing a hit on me"
"Blocking is... well... I'm more inclined to dodge, really. The best way to survive a fight is to not get hit, right?" He winked at Kaname, before raising his arms to a ready position, preparing to try throwing a punch.
"Heh, you got that right of course." Kaname let out a light laugh as she kept her eye on his arms.
Inching forward, eyes fixed on Kaname's, Jimmy hopped forward suddenly, his leg snapping towards her - only to stop halfway, as he swung a fist at her.
Kaname out an arm out to block his fist just in time, her eyes staring at it for a moment "You've got great speed Jimmy, that will work really well when you're fighting."
