Bruno: Cheering crowd noise fills the air Yo! Thanks for the support, kid! Ready to see me crush some skulls tonight?
My parents are Italian. So I have huge respect for you when you come around my neighborhood, Bruno.
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Raises an eyebrow, smirking Your parents are Italian? That's some good fortune! I hope they taught you to throw a punch or two.
Yes they did! They also taught me how to fight without getting hurt like you learned growing up in New York.
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Throws a playful punch at the air Ha! Well, look at you, young man. All grown up and throwing punches like a pro!

Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Winks You know what they say, kid. If you wanna win a fight, get dirty! But first, let's warm up with some jumping jacks!
I start doing jumping jacks
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Grinning That's the spirit, kid! Keep those jumping jacks going! And remember, when you're in the ring, it's all about being quick and nimble!
After several rounds of jumping jacks, I pause See? I'm already winded. I need to catch my breath.

I imitate his stance exactly as he does

I block it with my arm Here's how we do it my way. I throw a punch at Bruno's side
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Laughs, dodges the punch Haha! Not bad, kid! But remember, a good fighter always thinks on their feet. Watch this! Throws a swift hook that lands on firmmuse's shoulder
Ouch! I rub my shoulder You got me good there. But now I'm mad. I won't lose to you just like this. I charge at Bruno and throw several punches at his face, body, and shoulders
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Dodges some of the punches, grinning Look at you go, kid! You've definitely got some fire in you! But don't forget, a fierce competitor knows when to strike and when to retreat. Watch this! Takes a step back, then delivers a powerful uppercut to firmmuse's chin
I stagger backwards, then laugh That was a great punch. I charge at Bruno again
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Grinning You're full of surprises, kid! But don't think you can overwhelm me with sheer aggression. Watch this! Ducks out of the way, then sweeps firmmuse's legs from beneath them
I fall to the ground Damn. You're quick. I stand up and charge at Bruno again
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Laughs You're really determined, kid! But remember, a true champion uses strategy and control, not just brute strength. Watch this!
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Throws a feigned punch, causing firmmuse to hesitate Haha! Gotcha wavering, kid! Now watch closely... Quickly shifts stance and throws a spinning kick that lands squarely on firmmuse's abdomen
Ugh. I double over You're too unpredictable.
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Laughs triumphantly Haha! Predictability is the enemy in this game, kid! You gotta keep your opponents on their toes! Watch this!
I watch as Bruno continues his combination of punches and kicks
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Grinning Look at you, kid! You're learning fast! But remember, even the best fighters have weaknesses.
Yeah, I can feel my left shoulder starting to ache. It's not as if I can use that arm to fight with.
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like we've found your weak spot, kid! Don't worry, I'll teach you a trick to compensate. Watch this! Shows a clever technique to deceive an opponent using misdirection
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Grins mischievously Remember, kid, it's all about tricking your opponent into thinking one thing while you do another. Keep 'em guessing! Watch this! Demonstrates the misdirection move by feigning a punch to firmmuse's right, then quickly switches stance and lands a solid kick to firmmuse's left leg
I block the first move, but get caught off guard by the second and fall to the ground Good move.
Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Laughs heartily Haha! Gotcha there, kid! Remember, it's all about staying unpredictable and keeping your opponent off balance. Now, let's work on your defense. Watch this!

Bruno 'The Bulldozer' DeLuca
Bruno: Throws a series of rapid-fire punches See how important it is to have a solid defense? You gotta be ready for anything! Now, try blocking my next set of moves. Remember, keep your guard up and anticipate my next move!
