Soon

"No problem, for the next Monday is fine!", you say proudly, "The sooner the better". You are not very concerned, believing that she will go easy on you and, if she doesn't, you will be taking the upper hand any way. Sure, fighting has never been your forte. However, you are a male, and one taller, heavier and older than that little girl. Thus, despite her preparation, you can outbest that arrogant martial artist easily. Bearing your superiority in mind you return home, doing push-ups and a little abs training. The next days you swim and run, feeling in good shape. Monday arrives quickly. You go to the address that she gave to you. It is a small gym in the city's outskirt which is specialized, as you can see from the entrance, in this full-contact discipline blending three traditional martial arts: karate, a good standing self-defence system; taekwondo, a discipline committed to all the legs' work; and judo, a system focus on throws and ground fight. There is no one at the desk.

You go straight to the locker room and change your clothes, getting dressed with classic knickers and a cap sleeve t-shirt, then you get inside looking for your challenger. You find her easily: she is in the centre of the dojo, pairing up with a meaty woman. Seven or eight girls are with her, all of them wearing a white GI. They are doing a judo drill, trying to pull the collar of their's opponent. One of the girls, who has approximately your age, turns and sees you: "Ehi Grace! He has come!", she whoops, as you walk on the tatami kicking off your snickers. Grace smiles at you, nicely. "I told my friends that there was this guy who was eager to take me down. I hope that you don't mind if they witness to this quick confrontation…". "Who says that it's gonna be quick?", you ask. She giggles at your words: "I did!". You warm up briefly, approaching nervously the centre of that sort of ring where she is waiting for you. She is has a brown belt tied around her waist and behind the kimono you can see her white bra. Everyting is prepared for you confrontation. Grace takes her martial stance, while her gym mates forms a circle around you two.
