[And this was a reminder of Samantha's style and tactics. She had a method of fighting that could be construed as a little insane on a good day. When the leg swept in and her punch went just a little awry, she could see the knee coming up. Instead of dodging, she took it, grunting despite the toughness of the body-armor she wore. Toph would definitely get more resistance than expected. The armor wasn't meant for blunt trauma like this, and so it didn't diffuse it like it did blades, arrows and bullets, but it did help a little.
As she took the blow, she used the convenient closeness to bring her other arm up, going with a right hook and her already active momentum to try and strike her in the gut with the punch.]
