[ He can tell she's watching, studying, the weight of her gaze slightly different. She doesn't seem the type to miss much so he's sure she knows he puts more weight on his good leg, his cane serving as a third point to counter balance.
When she gets up, she imitates how he's standing, clearly finding that doesn't work out. Apart from their clear difference in height, she doesn't have a broken and badly healed leg to contend with. So she adjusts, moving her feet a bit closer and straightening her shoulders with determination. He'll ask to check her balance in a bit, though it looks like it wouldn't be easy to knock her off her center.
Finally, she takes her swing, making the bag sway with a good amount of force. She understands the follow through, which is one of the more important parts.
And maybe she's getting a little joy out of this. If that hint of a smile isn't a trick of the light. ]
Again. Get the contact directly on your knuckles. [ He shows her, this time just placing his fist against the bag, right at the angle she would need. ]
The jut of the bone smarts more. [ And protects the middle, more breakable, parts of the fingers. ]
Hit the same place and then we'll go over hitting higher or lower. [ From her height, it would be easiest for her to wind someone, but most of her hits would fall to the midsection. Useful, but not always the fastest way to get someone to back off. ] Nobody likes to get punched in the face or throat.
