Mirch turned his body facing away from Kai, as he needed to strike in this position otherwise failing in stance and position using Tae Kod. Raising his right leg, he bent his leg as it was sent upwards, before striking downwards quickly as his leg motioned downward. Mirch felt his leg go down and brush off the shoulder of Kai, as his then felt a grip on his leg as he was grabbed with both hands. Motioning his hands off to the side, Mirch was tossed away into the wall as he hit with a thud before landing on the ground with a heavier thud. "I need to be sure to strike my opponent, otherwise I'll keep being countered like this." Mirch thought as he began rubbing his head a bit where he struck the wall. Rolling his body forward so his could be on his knee, he knelt down before standing up once more as his knee gave a small cracking sound.

"HA!" Mirch shouted as he attempted his fourth attempt at the Tae Kod as his leg struck the shoulder, however Kai once more threw him into the wall as the cracks began to spread and disperse with each attempt. "You didn't use your leg's full strength, fully twist your hip and body." Kai told him, for Mirch realized the weakness of this attack and he had to lower that percentage of failure, otherwise he wouldn't be able to continue on his other lessons. Getting up to attempt once more, Mirch took his stance as he raised his leg with it hovering above Kai's shoulder. Swinging his hip downward with his leg, he aimed to strike for Kai's neck instead as Kai was brought down with the kick as he felt the blunt force of the strike stronger than before.

"Tee Sork; The Elbow Strikes." The Helper Shinigami said as Kai was lying on the far-back while resting from the concussions from multiple Tae Kods to the head. "Luckily he wasn't being practiced on with these, for these are quite lethal. Elbow Strikes in Muay Thai are are used when the opponent is in close range and can cause severe injuries, mostly targeting the cranium area, neck, jaw, and so forth. These strikes are flexible, moving horizontal and vertical, but method is the key to different impacts."
