Shredder's eyebrows shoot up in either surprise or respect. Perhaps both. Already he's underestimated this boy, who in that gesture displayed far more respect and honor than Yoshi did in a thousand fights.

And Shredder returns it, and retracts his blades. This is no time for mercy, but at least this boy would be more engaging than many.

"I'll remember it," he says, and perhaps he means it.

The stance is standard Kenpo, and Shredder recognizes it immediately. More basic than he hoped for, but perhaps there will still be surprises. He bolts forward and and grabs for Jason's shoulder while aiming a punch to his trunk. It should be child's play to secure him with a hold.
