"No distractions"

"I hate that boy" shouted gabi as she punched a punching bag with her bare knuckles. It was a punishment, for being late. Even tho she was only two minutes late, she had to refill her water bottle.

Usually the whole team would receive a punishment but today it was only Gabriela. It confused the group, but they all knew better than to argue or question their sensei. "How did you even meet him?" Asked julio who was practicing his tornado kick. He could do it with heels on, it was his favourite move.

Before answering the girl took a clean swing to the bag, breaking skin as she did. The white bag, soon turned into a crimson colour as her blood stained it. "He bumped into me at the beach when we arrived" was all she said before throwing a round house kick towards the bag. "He didn't even say fucking sorry!"

The group laughed at the girls pettiness, it was such a Gabriela thing to do. She held onto grudges as though she was holding onto the edge of a cliff. "Enough chit chatting! Get out of your heads, take this seriously" Leonardo shouted.

The team let out grunts and war cries as each one of them practiced their moves. Valentino was working with their sensei, Leonardo, practising high and low kicks. The low kicks were dirty moves, that the two men often practised together.

Maria was working on her defence, practising blocks and katas. She was awfully good at defence, it came in handy when fighting with her opponents. No one was rarely able to land a solid hit on the girl.

Julio was practicing his own technique, it consisted on a scorpion kick, before flipping and landing a high kick. He made it up himself. It was tested in a spar and it actually worked - which shocked the whole team but nonetheless they were amazed at how effective it truly was.

Alexander was working on punching. Mastering the ability to jab and kick at the same time, as well as blocking. Sweeping the legs, flipping and kicking.

And then there was angel, she was on her punishment. Breaking her skin whilst punching a rock solid punching bag and practising roundhouse kicks.

"Alright angel, punishment over" Leonardo spoke as he looked at the girl. "Clean up that mess, and move onto practising offence and headbuts" yet another dirty move. Angel didn't need to fight dirty - she was a good fighter, skilled, fast and strong. But she had to follow the rules.

The girl left the gym, and made her way towards the Locker room. She grabbed the first aid kit that was tucked into her baby pink bag and grabbed an antiseptic bottle. She poured the liquid onto her small cuts, she watched as the blood trickled down her arm. She didn't flinch, pain didn't bother her anymore. After she was finished, she wrapped her hands in a baby pink wrap.

Grabbing her water bottle she made her way back into the gym and began practising. She began with high kicks. At first she was shadow kicking, kicking the air high, with fast forward motions. As she continued she began adding technical skills, such as turning whilst kicking, flicking between both legs and doing 360° turns.
