The rhythmic sound of fists slapping against punching bag echos through the rec center.
Thuk. Thuk-thuk. Thuck. Thuck-thuck-thuck!
Nika is breathing hard as she bounces on the balls of her feet, wearing shorts and a training top that shows off her defined abdominal muscles and well-toned shoulders and arms. Her short hair is swept back with sweat and she launches into another series of blows. Straight punch into swiveling on one leg, bringing her heel around to slam into the punching bag, followed by a short jab with the same foot, spinning her back around with an elbow blow, followed by a series of punches. Fastened to her forearms are metal rods that end in grips she's holding and following the regular series of punches and kicks a faint glow spreads over the rod on her right arm and her fist snaps forward in a perfectly straight line that rocks the punching bag a good four or five inches back before swinging back into a kick with the ball of her foot, leveraging it into pushing herself up a good four feet into the air.
Hanging in the air for the blink of an eye the metal brace glows again and her arm comes down at a 45 degree angle on top of the punching bag and there's a loud pang as the chain fastening the bag to the ceiling snaps and the heavy bag is driven to the ground, a noticeable dent where Nika's fist drove into it. She lands in front of it in a slight hunch, back rising and falling as she pants, holding her fist in her left hand as she catches her breath.
