Well the issues with our RP is, everybody is afraid of taking even the slightest hit which makes them appear as if they were incapable of blocking or defending an attack. They want to appear strong by avoiding and countering every possible entity their opponent throws at them to stay on the top of their game. In actuality, that is not realistic in the sightest. Also, what people don't seem to realize is, sometimes taking a little hit can work to your advantage as opposed to avoiding ever little action your opponent tries.

As you create your clone, I begin to run towards him, cocking my left hand back as I do so. Using my shoulder, I intentionally telegraph my punch so that the clone takes notice of my shifting shoulder and nothing else. As I release the punch the clone prepares himself for, I root myself to the ground. The punch comes straight towards the face of the clone and as he ducks and places his right arm up to block it, I swing my right leg up and release a powerful front kick aimed at the chin of the clone. As the clone is focuse on my arm, he would not notice the kick and he goes flying into the air as the kick makes contact with his chin.
