[There was nothing quite like seeing a shelled warrior move more nimbly than any of Korra's previous sparring partners. The fact that she could only graze the tips of his toes told Korra that she was dealing with someone just as seasoned as she was and if she prided herself on anything, it was her combat ability.
As he spun through the air, Korra continued with her current option and her hand touched the ground causing stone to latch onto her arm like a gauntlet. The rock from her missed sweep came to her as she brought her leg back in and covered her other forearm in the same manner.
Korra had only trained against swordplay, never had she been a cut-throat battle with one. Even though the blade of the katana was just out of reach, she didn't take any chances and Korra thrust her arm defensively out to deter it's path.
Where as most would take the tentative option to retreat farther back, Leonardo would find that Korra was very aggressive in combat and she pressed into his reach. With weapons that were best used from a distance, Korra sought to close the gap as much as possible and turn the tide in her favor by attempting to make it a close quarters combat situation. Using the arm that had blocked his sword, Korra continued forward in order to aim a punch at the elbow holding the offending sword.
The only time she had ever fought someone wielding two weapon in a serious situation had been Amon's Lieutenant and his electrified kali sticks. Having taken him down before by disarming him, Korra saw that was a viable method to apply here.]
