[Jonathan is not a small man, so his tendency for avoiding a blow is to back away rather than to try and sway to the side- he'll certainly do his best to read the direction and do the latter as needed however. He certainly doesn't want to be playing the defensive for the match however- that's not why they're here, and there's hardly any fun in a bout that poses no challenge.
Jonathan's hits are pulled- he aims for areas that are assuredly non vital, either through protection or otherwise. The blows move down, and come often from the front, a direct shot forward- and when he himself takes a blow it is as if he felt nothing at all.
Certainly he is- feeling it, rather- but Jonathan is one who has taken a knife by the blade using a hand, taken a saw to the arm, and done so without flinching.
The only tells that will be given for a blow, will be the bruises that come at the end.]
