[Tarisa is driven back and off balance by the punches and nearly stumbles before rolling backwards to gain distance and regain her footing.]

I don't know about the whole Ki trick there but I will give you credit for being a lot more resilient than I expected. Not many people could shrug that punch off so easily or keep up at this level.

[Tarisa's comment seems to be a telling as her evades and blocks have begun to slow slightly. Knowing she needs to take advantage of her smaller size to close with Raquel and get inside her guard. Taking a risk she tightens her guard and steps into the barrage attempting to grab and take this into a grapple.]
