Rising block

The prompt

Over-the-shoulder shot from behind a young male sparring partner throwing a downward hammer-fist strike, a woman in her sixties with short grey hair and a black belt meets it with a single rising block in a quiet dojo at dusk, cinematic, slow motion. 0–2s: she faces the camera in a front stance past his shoulder, calm. 2–4s: his fist swings down toward her head; her right forearm sweeps up across her face. 4–6s: her forearm stops just above her forehead, angled, and his strike glances off it as her left fist snaps back to her hip. 6–8s: she holds the block, eyes steady on his. Throughout: her full body visible, his shoulder and arm framing the left edge, low warm sun through paper screens, dust in the light.
