What monopolised his attention was the evident fact that Kennedy was in a bad way, and that a little strenuous infighting might end the affair in the desired manner. It was at this point that Kennedy had reason to congratulate himself on donning gymnasium shoes. They gave him that extra touch of lightness which enabled him to dodge blows which he was too weak to parry.
Though he used a horse for transportation, he might well carry a rifle and the most modern Terran sidearms. The Apaches' bows were little use for infighting, but they had their knives.

It was the best move he could have made, from Rick's point of view. The boy knew he could not compete with either man in strength. He had to depend on speed, and the infighting tricks he had learned from Scotty. He used one now. At the last moment he side-stepped and his hand flashed down. It was a judo chop, the hand held stiff, the blow delivered with the side opposite the thumb.

No matter she would go. She felt a sense of righteous pride infighting her way to the church through the first storm of the winter. In spite of the snow the church was crowded.
