"Fighting positions!" Johnny screamed as walked down the rows of students. He kicked Hawk's front foot forward while hitting one of Julianna's fists lower. "Stabilize your balance, Hawk. And Jules, don't put your hands so close to your face."
Johnny turned around and through the mirror, Julianna could see the kid behind her flinch at her father getting too close to him. "Did you just flinch, Virgin?"
When the boy didn't answer, Johnny went up to a kid in Hawk's line and he flinched as well.
"Holy shit. We got a room full of flinchers." Johnny breathed out. "Yes, Sensei!"
"That was not a question. Raise your hand if you've never been punched in the face." Johnny screamed and everyone except Julianna, Miguel, Aisha and Lexi raised their hands. Johnny sighed.
"Put your hands down! All your lives, you've been avoiding fights so you don't break your nose or lose a tooth. This concussion nonsense. So there's only one solution, and that is before you leave this dojo, each and every one of you is gonna take a punch, very hard, to the face."
Lexi raised her hand, bouncing on her toes. "Can the people who have gotten punched in the face be the ones that hit them?" Johnny nodded his head, smiling at how excited she had gotten. "Yes. You, Miss Lawrence and Miss Robinson will line them up and unflinch this group."
Lexi eagerly spun around facing the kid behind her in her row and punching him in the face. Aisha and Julianna jump back in shock. Lexi turned around to the two and shrugged her shoulders. "What? It's not gonna work if they're expecting it."
Julianna slowly turned around to the kid behind her, she mumbled a tiny apology before hitting him in the face. Hawk watched as the boy fell to the floor and he quickly turned back to Julianna. "Hit me."
Julianna turned to him in confusion. "What?" "Hit me. I trust you more than Lexi and Aisha." Hawk said, lifting his chin up to act more confident. Julianna walked up to stand right in front of him, getting into fighting stance and waited for the perfect moment before punching him in the face.
Hawk fell to the ground and Julianna stood in shock for a second before quickly squatting down to him. "Holy shit. Are you okay?" Julianna asked, worry bubbling up inside of her but he ignored her question, pressing his hand where she had hit him.
"Ow! How the hell did you hit me so hard?" Hawk groaned, grabbing Julianna's hand so she could help him. Julianna easily pulled up Hawk, a smirk on her face and Hawk looked at her in awe. "Iron fists, baby." Julianna let out, blowing on her knuckles.
