[he still has no intention of hitting atsuro, so akihiko relaxes his stance now. he knows if he keeps swinging, he'll get a hit eventually. especially since he's not throwing punches like he normally would.]

You should always be watching and expecting an incoming attack. Reflexes can get you far, but you've also got to analyze the situation at all times. Think about what you'll do if the enemy does this or that. Anticipating your opponent's next move while being light on your feet is important so you can dodge and counterattack.

[and to emphasize his point he readies his stance again, and gestures for atsuro to try to punch him. akihiko's been boxing for long enough to not worry about getting hit at the moment.]
