The grip he had on her hair was a considerable advantage as it not only restricted her movements but helped him sense hers, so he wasn't surprised when she moved away and blocked his hand. That had the side effect of bringing his hand in between them so that his free hand was positioned between their bodies.<i>That works too. </i>He thought as he immediately bent his wrist so his hand was vertical and aimed a palm strike at her breast. At the same time he brought his knee up. Tis would have been the perfect time for a crotch shot, but he'd promised not to try and strike her there so he brought his knee up a bit higher and aimed said knee at her stomach instead. This had the side effect of avoiding the kick she aimed at his shin, but it also meant she had two blows to block...one aimed at her breast, and the other at her stomach, and as she only had one arm free to block them, he figured one would likely get through.<br/><br/>Part of him did feel a bit bad about the jeers coming from the audience.  He had no desire to show her 'what was what', but he also wasn't about to go easy on her and possibly lose the fight, so he didn't let the comments from the sidelines affect his response.
