A trick he's used to seeing in training. He brings his own leg up to shield the kick, grimacing when the knee digs into the muscle and hoping that it doesn't cause a dead leg. He rolls to get out of the man's range, and he feels around blindly for something to hold, something to use, grabs what feels like the handle of a knife and picks it up.

He shouldn't kill. But it would be okay to cut his way through -- he charges.
