[A hard swing. To block might not be as effective to dodge but the distance between them is a little too close for that, so Rude opts to grapple instead. Just as Mondo's fist is about to hit, Rude quickly steps to the side and pulls the kids wrist downwards and away from his body. Mondo still manages to clip him a little in the arm, but that doesn't stop Rude from dishing out a punch of his own. While the punch carries force, it's definitely controlled and aimed somewhere where he isn't injured; Rude aims for his face.]
