Side kick

The prompt

Wide profile shot of a young Vietnamese taekwondo athlete in a white uniform breaking a thick wooden board held by her instructor in a dark training hall at night, cinematic, locked camera with a speed ramp. 0–2s: she stands side-on to the board, one backlight carving her silhouette out of the haze. 2–4s: her rear leg chambers, knee pulled tight to her chest, foot turned edge-down. 4–6s: the action drops into slow motion as she drives the leg out sideways and her heel splits the board, splinters hanging in the air. 6–8s: back at real speed, the pieces drop and she re-chambers and lands in her stance. Throughout: both full bodies visible, polished floor reflecting the light, deep shadows.
