Following the movements with her eyes, Skylar swiftly dodged the uppercut but only just. It was close enough that she could feel the air rushing up as an after affect. When she dodged the blow she had sent her weight backwards, something that was usually taught against for it put you at a greater risk of being taken down. However this was a style that she had perfected on her own, using this momentum to carry her body backwards. She bent her back and allowed her hands to touch down with the ground at the same time that she pushed off with her feet. It was meant to catch the arm on its return back to the body, but she realized that she might not have been close enough to pull that off. Instead she allowed the momentum to continue as her feet touched down behind her, setting her in a low crouch. With this she pushed off again, keeping low to the gound and throwing a swift punch to the lower parts of the rib cage.
