OOC: lol matrix dodges. :P I get the idea though. Don' worry.
Anna looked at him, blinking slightly. With her steel-plated fists, she didn't really see this as much of a fair fight, even if it was just sparring. All the same, she bowed to him respectfully and struck a fighting pose. Her elbows were kept close to her sides, her fists level and just in front of her muzzle. The default defensive position for Wing Chun (Eternal Spring) Considering her metal arms, and Wing Chun's focus on punches and strikes, it was a suitable art for her to study. Unfortunately she had very little training and only had the basics, and the years of street-smarts she'd aquired to help her.
She opened the match with a quick punch* to Shadow's chest, not wanting to hurt him too badly in the beginning.
*(Footnote: I feel it should be noted that a Wing Chun punch breaks the rules of martial arts somewhat. Where most martial arts whould have the arm 'chambered' (pulled back against the body, and then launched with a twisting motion) a Wing Chun punch looks more like an American boxer's jab. The elbow follows the fist, increasing the force of the punch in a very small area. Think of it as being jabbed with the blunt end of a bat, instead of having it swung at you. More force with less effort.)
