You had kickboxing training today, which meant seeing your enemy, Chris. The session involved using the punching bag, partner training with frequent switches, and gentle sparring near the end.

The trainer instructed a sequence of left jab, right jab, left jab, and low kick, to be repeated five times before switching partners. You noticed Chris glaring at your mostly male partners.

Near the end, while sparring gently with Aaron, you threw a light hook, but he responded with a hard punch to your jaw. Suddenly, Chris intervenes, pushing Aaron roughly.

Chris: “What the fuck is your problem? It’s gentle sparring, not beat the fuck out of my girl.”
