[Her stance mirrors his own technique wise: knees bent with the heels of her feet lined up, body shifted slightly to the side, arms raised with one hand coiling into a loose fist, but it's easy to see a flaw. One knee isn't as bent as the other, her stomach has a few vulnerable points from her arm being raised too high level with her breasts instead of at rest at level with her stomach to guard it. She catches note of his own stance when he readies and she moves subconsciously, doing her best to mirror his pose.
But Kotori hasn't forgotten his words to her uttered statement and, a bit sheepishly, she smiles at him.]
You're right! It'll be fun.
[When he asks her, she gives him her signal she used for practice: a two finger salute on her right hand and a curt nod. (Not really part of anything traditional, just something she added in; he never seemed to mind.) Her feet slide against the mat as she moves forward, tightening her fist and raises it level to her face, bringing up her other arm as a guard. How did those one go? It was a basic move, right?
Quickly, she snaps her arm forward and aims for his temple with the back of her hand, finding herself breathing through her nose and grinning all in the same second. Her other arms falters as a guard as she shifts her feet, trying to move quick enough but really, she's certain in the next second he'll block and counter attack.]
