She rocks back on her heels, throws herself forward as if attacking, and then side-steps and twists, slamming the flat of her blade against the medial epicondyle of Galahad's bent arm, just above the point of his elbow, where the ulnar nerve is closes to the skin. She pulls it a little—again, not trying to break bone—but not a lot.
