Ghubari countered by turning her staff around and up as she rose to her feet and settled into her new balance. The clang of the wood was absorbed by the mats. “How long have you been training?” she asked.

With a grin the cadet paused for a moment to catch his breath and seemed to consider. “About 16 years or so give or take a few breaks due to filing schedules and exams and school transfers.” He nodded his head appreciatively atthe staff, “and you?” He caught himself “…Ma’am?”

Spinning the bō easily with two hands, Ghubari looked very much at ease, though she was deceptively aware and prepared to defend or attack as necessary. “Depends on what you consider training. Martial arts I didn’t start until I attended the Academy. But then again, I got into the early admissions program and trained in security, and I was sixteen, so… it’s been awhile,” she said with a wink.

Conner grinned back. “Well I will consider myself out matched.” He chuckled slightly and then spinning brought the sword around again for a series of attacks, ironically he moved straight into the same pattern he had just been practicing, 29 strikes and potential parries in quick succession moving forward and to the sides as needed.

Using both hands spread equally at either side of the centre third of the staff, she countered his attacks with focus. “Oh, I don’t know about that. You can have all the experience in the galaxy and still have someone knock you on your ass. A little humility is never a bad thing. Except for maybe the bruised ego part. But you get over it,” she said as she shifted suddenly to the side and moved to slip her bō under his guard. The intent was to get into the circle of his arms and spin him forward towards the floor. He could still block her, but once she got the staff in, he was SOL and his only defence would be to drop his weapon and protect his landing, execute a very quick roll, or try to take her with him. But she lowered her centre of gravity so that would be harder. Still, he could surprise her.

Conner’s sword was indeed taken from him partially as he spun, he held onto it one handed and used the wooden sword to strike at the bone in her right ankle in a quick powerful blow. He landed and rolling up to the balls of his feet pivoted sweeping his heel backwards into the foot he hadn’t hit.
