Flow State

By: Ian Peyghambary

Hold your block, counter their blows– how many hits can you take? The rushing sensation of the fight takes you over, strangely calming your mind bringing about a full concentration. But even then the swing of your punches and your sweeping kicks can’t seem to knock out your opponent. The high of the fight keeps you active; you should’ve gone down awhile ago. Wipe the sweat off your brow and look for an opening. Knee, dodge, uppercut; the fight is only just getting started.

Plot your course, one wrong move and it’s over. You feel each of your muscles contracting while you ball up your fist to draw it back. You swing. The collision against your opponent's face leaves waves of force around you– this fight is exhilarating but it’s not done yet. Blood pumping through your veins; you can’t stop now. Duck, kick, jab; this fight is a dance. Just short of choreographed, our fighters skillfully anticipate their opponent’s next move. An opening! One final blow in between your opponents eyes swiftly knocks them out. KO! The fight is over, you win.

Let the battle be your art, now fight a new rival!
