The hours flew by at the Bakery, Jiang's time filled with the peaceful work of kneading dough and tending to the countless rolls, bread loaves, and treats going in and out of the oven. By the time his work-day was over, he had turned a hefty profit and sold everything he baked, save for a loaf of bread that he kept for himself. He shut up the bakery a couple hours after noon had passed, and went home to change and clean up.
Once he had changed into his preferred training wear, a black vest with silver buttons and linings, with a beautifully embroidered red dragon adorning the back, and a matching pair of pants, the Tiger headed out to kill another hour or so before heading up to the Temple. He'd probably go and try to talk Mr. Peng into stopping the sale of rice-wine at his restaurant.

Tigress' had spent the remaining morning preparing the arena mat in the palace courtyard for the afternoon's match. After having earned Master Shifu's permission to allow a villager onto the grounds for the event, the others, especially Po, expressed great interest in observing. The decorative pennants of the Jade Palace were placed and all six masters cleaned and prepared the area. Though it was no formal event, a villager on palace grounds was reason to present the standard of honor that the school demanded. As noon neared, the guards at the gate were informed of the expected visitor, and while the other five masters eagerly awaited Jiang's arrival, Tigress focused her chi with kata on the arena mat.
(( Ugh I have to get going >.< can we pick up tomorrow? ))

Jiang slowly made his way up the stairs leading up to the majestic Jade Palace. He had been there once before, when Po was chosen as the dragon warrior. He had to admit, it was the most amazing structure he had ever been inside, even compared to his home sanctuary in the Kim-Sung Valley. Once at the gates, the guards argued for a minute over whether or not he was the visitor, but they finally decided to let him in. Jiang stepped into the courtyard, while a guard raced along to find and inform the masters of Jiang's arrival.

Tigress stood rigid on the center of the mat facing the front gate of the courtyard through which Jiang was led. She looked to be almost framed by the decorative flag-like banners flapping in the breeze, proudly displaying their honor. Behind the mat observed the other four Masters, talking amongst themselves while seeming to curiously size up the visitor. The waiting feline gave a flick of her tail before a half grin settled on her muzzle.
"Greetings, Jiang," she said, pressing her fist into her open palm and bowing. "Welcome to the Jade Palace."

Once at the opposite edge of the mat, Jiang imitated Tigress's bow. After taking barely a moment to glance around, his eyes settled on Tigress. "Thank-you for allowing me here." He replied, a faint smile on his muzzle. One of his ears perked up slightly to hear hushed whispering between two of the guards who had just escorted him in. Apparently, there was a bet of nearly a hundred silver pieces that he'd get his tail-end kicked within ten seconds. That brought a small smirk to his muzzle. He planned to last much, much longer than that. His attention once again completly devoted to Tigress, Jiang waited for instructions, as he always had back in his homelands.

"This will be an unarmed match," Tigress explains, "and will be best two out of three scores. A score will count as a simulated fatal strike or if one of us is knocked off of our paws." She moves to one side of the arena mat, providing space for the other tiger. "Take some time to warm up if you feel you must."
The remaining four Masters are soon joined by a bouncing, giddy Po who noisily makes his way to the closest seat in the observation deck. He is soon joined by the others. Guards from other parts of the palace grounds soon gather at a distance to watch and place bets as well.

Weisheng kneeled next to Angel on the steps of the palace. "What happened to you?"
Jiang nodded and stepped onto the opposite side of the arena mat. Unarmed? That was one of his few weaknesses in combat. Not so much a weakness, really, it was simply that his best fighting was done with a blade or staff. He wiped the smile off his muzzle, instead adopting a calm, focused expression. A simple nod desginated his readyness to begin, as he slowly dropped into a combat stance. He planned to simply be patient and defensive in this fight.

Predator by instinct, warrior by heart, defensive was not always Tigress' way. Almost before her opponent had lowered into his bladed stance she was in motion, launching her attack with speed that defied her stature. In a split second the distance between herself and Jiang was closed and a fist aimed toward the center of his chin was thrown, though neglecting the speed and strength that would be expected of the reputation that the Furious Five's powerhouse carried behind her.

Jiang was momentarily surprised by the speed with which Tigress launched her attack. He avoided her attack by simply side-stepping just before her fist connected with his chin, and countered by sending his own fist flying at her right shoulder.
Weisheng sighed, shook his head, picked up Angel, and walked down into the village. Time to find a healer.

The counterstrike was parried with a forearm hook block to the right, creating whirlwind momentum for her following tactic. Mid-twirl, she dropped down low to the ground and extended her leg, aiming a sweep to Jiang's legs in an attempt to knock him off his paws, though again lacking the speed that would be expected. If she was trying for the first point, she wasn't putting full effort into it. It was almost as though she were either toying with him or gauging his ability with simplistic technique.

Jiang managed to block Tigress's leg sweep by dropping low and locking one of his muscular arms around her leg. He waited for a moment, then released her and rose back to his full height. While she was getting back on her paws, he sent a roundhouse kick flying at her upper back, intent on knocking her flat on her face.
