It's hard not to breathe a quiet sigh of relief when some of the blades vanish. Great. Now he'd just be tackling a walking tank instead of a walking Cuisinart.
Jason learns two very important things in the next few seconds. One, this guy is fast. Almost blindingly so. And second, to be that fast while wearing that much metal, he's got to be strong.
He weaves back in a dodge. Kenpo's not about blocking, not like some of his other styles. More about evasion, which, if he'd been dealing with those blades still, would've been more important. Now, though, he's just got to deal with the Shredder's bare hands. Unfortunately, he's taken off guard by the raw speed his opponent is showing, his shoulder escapes his grasp but the Shredder's fingers close in on the damned shoulder straps on his jacket. It halts his attempts at a dodge pretty effectively and the best he can do is take the punch. Breath escapes him in a grunt and there's no good way out.
The best he can do now is move in closer, shifting his weight forward and slamming a palm strike towards the Shredder's chin. It's not a good way to go for things, not with their height difference and that mask, but his other options were to shove Shredder back, try to take him to the ground, or move in for a flip. All of which don't feel like good ideas.
