This place was perfect. It was quiet, it was empty and she could use it whenever. She could go here and punch and kick the anger out. Bruce Lee style. She had a simple black singlet and navy blue shorts on. She tied her hair up in a messy ponytail and walked to the centre of the room. She had learnt some jeet kune do during high school and Bruce Lee was her inspiration.
First she closed her eyes and whispered "Sein wie wasser. Leistungsfähigkeit, Direktheit, Einfachheit." (be like water. Efficiency, directness, simplicity.) She breathed out, opened her eyes and jabbed a leading straight punch into the air before her, swiftly followed by another straight punch and a low kick. All the time she was completely noiseless. That was Lee's principle. Don't let your enemy know what's coming. Occasionally she couldn't help gasping but otherwise she did not let on a single word.
Sweat on her temple made the loose strands of hair damp and curly and still she went on kicking and punching and doing both at the same time. She practiced parrying and punching simultaneously. She did jump kicks, incorporating a bit of tae kwon do and kick boxing. She looked like a ballerina as she did a spinning hook kick, twirling through the air with deadly precision. She stopped after half an hour, panting and a little sweaty. She went over to the side of the room, picked up her drink bottle and took a long drink, then she sat down.
