Original subtitles

(Iron Girls had their first full sparring.)

(It was their first experience with the actual sparring.)

(They realized the need to improve their sparring skills.)

(The day after the full sparring)

(A model student, Sae Rok came to the boxing gym early.)

- I have a question. - Okay.

When I had supervised sparring,

my opponent made the move in an aggressive way.

But yesterday, both my opponent and I...

My opponent was waiting for me to attack.

Should I attack first then?

When the opponent attacks, you can counterattack.

When the opponent doesn't attack, you can make her attack.

Sae Rok, you just need to learn an applied technique...

- to win. - Will I be able to win?

Today, you'll learn a cross-counter...

- and an attack, okay? - Okay.

(The opponent waited for Sae Rok's attack...)

(and threw a cross-counter.)

(Cross-counter is a hook you throw at the timing...)

(of the opponent's attack.)

(Right hook)

(It's a timing-sensitive technique Sae Rok needs.)

Watch. Jab, jab. Then you throw a right hook.

- Do I do it like this? - Yes.

The opponent's attack will go like this.

When you throw a right hook, this will be the situation.

I thought I had to link the arm.

- So I do this instead. - Cross the arm and punch.

- Yes. Cross the arm and punch. - I see.

Throw a right hook.

- A right hook? - There you go.

Cross the arm.

Punch. It's similar. This is it.

That's why you need a right hook.

You'll now learn an attacking pattern.

You need to put it to use.

(Inducing an attack)

(Backstepping)

Then you do this.

(Move forward to induce an attack.)

(When the opponent attacks, throw a right hook.)

(An attacking pattern of punching after creating an opening)

That's it. That's the timing, okay?

- Push, push. There you go. - Push, push, punch.

(The cross-counter training begins to improve her attacking skills.)

Push. Punch. There you go.

(Sae Rok's training log: I had my first lesson...)

(after the first full sparring and learned the right hook...)

(with the mindset of honing the technique over time.)

(While it's exhausting and hard, it'll be nice to make it my own.)

(I'm practicing this technique endlessly all day long.)

(Endless cross-counters)

(I used all of my energy today as well.)

(One, two, backstep, one, two)

(Uie's training is focused on the one-two.)

(In the full sparring, she mostly threw one-twos.)

(But the accuracy of Uie's punches was lacking.)

(To improve herself, she practices the one-two.)

(Halting)

You need to stay calm.

You're too hasty whenever I see you attack.

"How should I attack?"

"How should I do it? Oh, no." That's how you appear.

- That's why I become a roe deer. - Exactly.

- I'll be calm. - Okay.

(One, two)

(She focuses on her footwork and resumes training.)

Punch, punch. You're much faster.

You're much stronger.

(After fixing the footwork, Uie's one-two becomes fast and precise.)

There you go. Good.

Throw a jab in the end.

After doing this, you switch hands.

In this situation, do a two.

Punch. Then go back.

It'll be difficult to handle.

You'll be a boxer who's difficult to handle.

(Uie's training log: I need to make my killer move.)

(I don't need anything else. Confidence is number 1!)

(You can do it, Uie!)

(She focuses on making her one-two stronger.)

You're beginning to do it well.

(Next day)

Come on up.

You'll just make light touches.

- Practice the timing. - The timing.

(Today, the members will have a live sparring session.)

(Uie versus Sae Rok)

(The tall girls' match of the reach is neck-and-neck.)

(Today, she shows the footwork of a boxer, not a roe deer.)

Uie, do what you've learned.

There you go.

(One, two)

There you go.

(Keep the opponent in place with the front hand...)

(and attacking with the backhand)

You can hit her easily.

There you go. Come on.

(Sae Rok can't go in easily.)

Sae Rok, what should you do when she attacks?

Cross the arm.

(She attempts a cross-counter.)

It was good, but your movement was too big.

- There you go. - Good.

(Sae Rok throws a cross-counter and a left hook.)

Stop. Nice.

- My goodness. - Well done.

- Thanks to practice, - I can't keep going.

- your one-two became natural. - I can't keep going.

My goodness. Sae Rok.

Your punches are very strong.

- But don't lower your guard. - Okay.

Go. Let's begin.

(This time, it's Uie versus In Ah)

Do it lightly. It's light sparring.

There you go.

(Same jab, different reach)

There you go. Good.

There you go. Okay.

(She dodges Uie's attack...)

(by backstepping...)

(and counterattacks right away.)

(The body shot combination)

(Down, up)

There you go.

(As for Uie, )

There you go. That's good.

(she attacks with a long jab.)

Nice timing.

(Jab)

(Jab)

(Uie is a tough opponent.)

She's strong.

That's how you learn.

- Stop. - Stop.

- Okay. Well done. - It was no joke.

Everyone has improved so much.

You guys aren't afraid of the punches.

Not anymore. All of you guys.

Okay. The training ends here.

(Today's training ends.)

- It was fun. - Keep improving your stamina.

(The boxing gym is more crowded than usual.)

(At a corner, Sae Rok is putting on a headgear.)

Tell me if your ears hurt.

(In Ah is warming up.)

(Sae Rok)

My senior boxer.

I'm in trouble.

Please teach me a lesson.

It'll be a good practice for both of you.

Let's go.

This is Round One. Go.

(The direction of her jab is different!)

There you go.

Be a bit more daring.

You need to move forward in a daring way.

- Go. - One-two.

(One gets blocked...)

(and two doesn't reach her.)

Keep going.

One more time.

(Sae Rok's attacks continue to get blocked.)

There you go. Okay. Good job.

There you go. One, two.

- Well done. - There you go.

Do the one-two.

- Do the one-two. - Do the one-two.

- Two. - Do the high-low combination.

- There you go. - Two.

(She succeeds in landing a blow.)

- One-two. - Stop.

(Disappointed)

I was surprised to see that she was left-handed.

She's left-handed.

Okay. Let's begin.

- Good. - Do the high-low combination.

Let's go.

- There you go. - Two.

- Do the one-two. - Two.

- Two. - There you go.

(Following the order, she lands the one-two attack successfully.)

One, two.

- Move your feet. - There you go.

Organize your moves.

(She does a cross-counter successfully.)

- Do a counter - There you go. All right.

(Unlike Round 1, Sae Rok seizes control.)

- Do the footwork. - Throw it forward.

Sae Rok, do the footwork.

What are you doing? Do the footwork.

(While Sae Rok's feet are halted)

- One more time. One, two. - Do the footwork.

There you go. Okay.

(The opponent goes for the opening.)

Pour out your remaining energy.

- To the face. - Two.

- Come on. - One-two to the face.

(Sae Rok pours out her remaining energy.)

There you go.

There you go.

- Do a counter. - Now.

- Okay. - Do a counter now.

- Now! - Two.

- Not much time remains. - There you go.

- A bit more. - There you go.

- Okay. - Stop. Bow.

Well done.

(The sparring was fierce until the end.)

Well done.

(Sae Rok)

We have high expectations.

(Her legs give out.)

- You did very well. - You barely hit her in Round One.

But almost all of your two punches landed in Round Two.

That's right.

- You told me to throw a two. - Yes.

I went, "Is this the right time?" But when I threw a punch,

- it landed. - Right?

Without the coaches,

I don't know when it's the right time to attack.

You need to learn it through practice.

The timing is hard.

Push back your hair.

(In Ah is preparing for sparring.)

- In Ah. - In Ah, good luck.

(In Ah's 2 months of experience...)

(versus the opponent's 7 months of experience)

- Do what you want to do, In Ah. - Get ready.

Let's begin. Go.

(In Ah does the footwork with patience.)

No. Close the distance.

- There you go. - Okay.

(A straight punch)

Keep your guard up.

(She blocks with her left hand to dodge the attack.)

(In Ah attacks without any hesitation.)

- There you go. - Keep your guard up.

(Jab, two)

- There you go. - Keep your guard up.

(The opponent's one-two)

Come on.

There you go.

(The opponent is taken aback by her strong punches.)

Don't take those punches.

Your feet shouldn't stop moving.

Keep going. What are you doing?

(Scary)

Don't halt your feet.

Keep moving.

- There you go. - Stop.

(The opponent gets punched in the jaw.)

(Standing eight count due to a strong blow to the face)

(In Ah is flustered by the situation she hasn't experienced.)

- You can't talk. - Okay.

All right. Resume. Spar.

(Round 1 resumes.)

Do the moves you practiced.

- There you go. - There you go.

Stop.

- There you go. - Stop.

(It's another standing eight count.)

Okay. Let's resume.

Keep your guard up.

(Sparring resumes after checking with the coaches and the boxer.)

- Stop. Okay. - Well done.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.

(Round 1 ends.)

Keep up with the footwork.

When you guys are close together, go for a double hook.

- A double hook. - The last round.

The last round. Box.

(Round 2 begins.)

(Parry)

(After attempting an attack, she pivots to dodge a blow.)

Turn.

- There you go. - Good.

There you go.

- Left hand. - Don't stop.

Left hand.

All right.

(One, two, hook, hook)

There you go.

(One, two, hook, hook)

That's it.

(She throws punches in succession.)

- There you go. -Stop.

(The 3rd standing 8 count)

Okay. Well done.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

(It was the biggest crisis in 7 months of her boxing life.)

- What is it? - I hit her too hard.

- She can go for another round. - I hit you too hard.

- That's how it is. - You did well.

You did well.

Why don't you have another round?

(Why don't you have another round?)

- What? - One more round.

There's an opponent of a different style,

so let's have one more round.

- Okay. - It's an opportunity.

You did incredibly well.

I loved how you defended yourself while attacking.

I thought you'd duck after putting your guard up.

Still, you did well to put your guard up.

Still, I did the dodge and hit.

- Well done. - You did that well.

After landing a punch, you need to pivot.

You did well with other things.

(The opponent's 2 years of experience...)

(versus In Ah's 2 months of experience)

All right. Let's begin.

Do it lightly. Box.

(Round 1 begins.)

Go.

Use a lot of jabs. Do it slowly.

(Will In Ah do well with 2 months of experience?)

(Dodge, hit)

You're good.

(In Ah uses various techniques from the start.)

Do it right away.

- Okay. - Low.

- Low. - There you go.

(Feint, low, high)

There you go. Punch.

Too big.

- Keep moving your feet. - Punch.

There you go.

- Good. - That's how you do it.

(In Ah takes a blow.)

(Simba Seol awakens.)

- There you go. - There you go.

- There you go. - Again.

- Okay. - Okay. Now, together.

- One more time. There you go. - There you go.

Good. Punch again.

- Punch again. - The inside.

(The opponent collapses.)

- All right. - Are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Breathe. Are you okay?

- Breathe. - You're doing well.

- Another jab. - Go in.

(They exchange blows in a scary manner.)

- Don't stop. - Punch again.

Do it again.

- Stop. - Are you okay?

- Stop. - Are you okay? What's wrong?

What's wrong? Is it your contact lens?

(Worried)

Her nose is bleeding, so let's stop here.

Okay.

(Due to the nosebleed, the sparring ends abruptly.)

Are you okay?

(Due to the nosebleed, the sparring ends abruptly.)

- Her nose is bleeding. - Are you really okay?

Please get her some tissue paper.

- Tissues, please. - Press the nose.

(It's the first time a sparring led to bleeding.)

(In Ah's opponent, In Ah)

(Bowing)

- Are you okay? - Both of us sparred passionately.

(Both of us sparred passionately.)

It should've gone until the end. It's too bad.

Seriously.

(I got a nosebleed while sparring.)

(The opponents sparred in a cool way.)

I think I should be good to In Ah.

- The boxing king, Seol In Ah. - Everyone, watch out.

To In Ah... At ease.

You're cute.

I'm going to tell Ju Hyun and Uie...

- that In Ah... - It's a secret.

Already gave someone a nosebleed.

You did well. But I understand that you feel bad.

I feel so bad.

- But we both used what we learned. - Right.

- We did well. - You did very well.

- You too. - Seriously,

she's something else.

(In Ah)

(In Ah continues to train diligently even afterward.)

Until the end.

(In Ah's training log: Morning: boxing training)

(Afternoon: 5km of running, 10 sets of the 60m uphill interval)

(Meanwhile, Ju Hyun trains to fix her punches.)

Stretch your arm from there when you throw a jab.

Jab.

Jab.

(Ju Hyun's training log: I've practically become a zombie...)

(due to the insane schedule, but I went to box before the play.)

(Let's cheer up and do this! Let's persevere!)

After the play,

I'm running with Bokddeong.

(Ju Hyun's training log:)

(Jump roping and running in my spare time is the way to go!)

(I jump-roped before practice for the play.)

(People looked at me funny.)

You're good.

(They train every day as if it's an actual match.)

(As they throw and take punches, )

(the girls become as hard as iron.)

(How will they do with the next sparring?)

(The hot sun shines down.)

(The haven of water sports...)

(that'll cool down the heat, )

(Gapyeong)

(An outdoor pool where you can play in the water)

Today's weather...

I'm looking forward to the barge.

(What are Iron Girls doing here?)

Are you guys wearing matching clothes?

Please come here.

How did you guys wear matching clothes?

We'll protect you guys today.

We're lifeguards.

(They enter with the lifeguards' protection.)

(The thought of playing in the water)

I'm so happy.

This is incredible.

Will we play in the water today?

What's this?

- This place is so nice. - What's this?

(A big pool)

I love it.

Play some music.

Where's the DJ?

It has been a while since I entered with so much excitement.

I've never been this excited in Season Two.

- I wanted to play in the water. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Why are we here?

- Are we going into the pool? - I'm so excited.

Ju Hyun and I are here as lifeguards.

How did you guys wear matching clothes?

- Aren't we playing today? - Wait. Hold on.

First, our Sae Rok got a haircut.

(Sae Rok with bobbed hair)

- Why did you get a haircut? - The thing is,

I'm going to get my hair cut every time I spar.

(Her hair will get shorter as she spars.)

When you win or lose? Every time?

Every time.

I'm so excited to be at a pool. It feels good to see the water.

- Are we here to play in the water? - Why?

I really don't want to train here.

- I hate it. - It's too hot.

There they are.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - What's all that?

- Hello. - I packed our lunch.

- Hello, Captain. - But it looks quite heavy.

It's light. It's just lunch. Like sandwiches.

The veins on your arms are standing out.

(The veins on his arms show how heavy it is.)

- What? - Pass it on.

I think it has dumbbells in it.

- No. - I bet they are sandbags.

- Sand... My goodness. - What's this?

Gosh, this is too heavy.

(The lunch is thrown to the ground.)

- Have you been doing well? - Yes.

- How are you feeling? - I'm suddenly feeling uneasy.

Why? You don't have to be like that.

You are dressed like you're here to ride a banana boat.

Are there four of you?

- For a banana boat? - Yes.

- We made a reservation. - We're four.

- A banana boat? - A banana boat and...

- Or a peanut boat? Which one? - Yes.

- Both. - Peanut?

If you try both, I'll give you a 50 percent discount.

He's good.

(They feel more energetic thanks to Captain Kim.)

Why did you bring heavy things to a swimming pool?

We want to have fun today.

- I know. - Because we've worked hard.

- It could be like a reward. - "Reward?"

- Something like chocolate. - I did expect that a little.

- I see. - Right.

I know. You can think we are having fun.

We will train while thinking we're having fun.

And you guys...

I got fooled.

Listen. We call it training,

but it's actually a rest.

We will just have fun.

You will have fun in the water.

I won't call it training.

If you call it training, you'll get a penalty. We're having fun.

- It sounds fun. - We will have fun.

(Forcing themselves to be energetic)

Seriously, we will have fun.

You will be a little out of breath, though.

- Since we're having fun anyway. - I look forward to it.

I brought some stuff so you could have fun in the water.

- It must be sandbags. - Let's not do this in the water.

But it's different in the water.

Go ahead and open it.

(What on earth did they find in the bags?)

But it's different in the water. Go ahead and open it.

(What on earth did they find in the bags?)

- I can't believe this. - What are these?

It's chocolate.

This bag has weight plates in it.

(This bag has weight plates in it.)

Do you have a luxury belt? I'll give you one.

- My goodness. - A luxury belt.

- Which brand is it? - What?

- It's the C brand. - This is unbelievable.

I can't believe this.

(The trio of luxury water toys)

- Are they to sink us in the water? - What?

Or are they to put me down?

No, it's not like that.

I suddenly lost my will to live.

Let's do this then.

There are about 3 to 4 games.

If you finish them quickly, I'll let you ride a banana boat.

- Really? - Are you serious?

- Yes. I'll give you a ride. - My gosh.

You'll probably wonder why you are doing this.

You are feeling a lot of pain here and there.

- Right? You have a wrist problem. - Yes. And my knees.

- I got a shot. - Knees.

- Knees and ankles. - Knees.

- Knees and calves. - Ankles. Calves.

- You all have problems. - Yes.

When you play in the water,

you're less affected by gravity.

So they train a lot...

in the water to reduce the risk of joint injuries.

Famous international athletes...

like Ronaldo and Kim Min Jae also train a lot in the water.

(Water resistance reduces the strain on joints...)

(and increases muscle strength, )

(cardiopulmonary function, and resilience.)

(It is widely used in rehabilitation training.)

MMA fighters also train a lot in water.

Here's the first game, which is fun.

(The fun first game)

It will be really fun. You'll be in the water.

- Okay. - Isn't it exciting?

(It's exciting.)

When you play in the water, you jump around a lot.

You will run in place by raising your knees like that.

(The first game, underwater running in place)

While keeping your guard up.

You'll do it for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

There will be a 30-second break.

It will be over after five rounds.

- Okay. Let's hurry. - That will be it.

- Let's go into the water. - Okay.

- Let's just go. - Let's go.

I think it will be cool.

- Think of it as a warm-up. - Okay.

- Are you cold? - Yes.

All right, everyone. Ju Hyun says it's cold.

You won't feel cold after 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Ready.

(Round 1 begins.)

Raise your knees. Faster. Good.

(Jumping)

Your knees should be above the surface of the water.

- The water is too deep. - What?

Your knees should be up like this.

See? Like this.

- Like this. - He's annoying.

It's been 35 seconds. Do this.

- This is so easy. - It's been only 35 seconds?

Jump.

- That's it. Nice, Ju Hyun. - Jump.

(Furious knee kicks)

- This is hard. - You have 15 seconds left.

(Groaning)

Keep your guard up.

What kind of training is this?

(They are groaning here and there.)

(Fighting against water resistance)

Two, one.

(Round 1 is over.)

Okay. Rest.

Captain, it is not easy to raise...

my knees above the water.

It's so easy for me.

That's because you're tall.

- It's the height. - You're tall.

- What? - You're taller than us.

- Taller than you? - Yes.

I didn't think of that. All right.

- It's hot. - I know, right?

- It's hot. - I'm feeling warm.

All right. The 30 seconds are over. Ready.

(Round 2 begins.)

It's important to keep your guard up.

(The guard march suddenly begins.)

(Why can't they do this when it's so easy?)

(He's so annoying.)

(Captain's morale-boosting show)

He's so annoying.

Like this.

Captain, you look like Larva in the water.

(100 percent identical)

- I love it. - He's so good.

- Why is he so excited? - This is hilarious.

Raise your knees higher. Above the surface of the water.

- I just can't do it. - They should come up like this.

- I can't. - This is really hard.

(Jumping excitedly until the very end)

(Round 2 is over.)

(Staggering)

This is my first time seeing Uie struggle in the water.

(She's usually the happiest one in the water.)

Season Two just isn't for me.

You're improving a lot.

Nothing about it suits me.

Do you still think this isn't an exercise?

Ju Hyun, was this not enough for you?

(She has no energy to answer.)

Why not? This is a good exercise for me.

Captain, you're annoying.

I am?

Faster.

Faster.

- Captain. - Faster.

- Faster. - Come on, Captain!

Faster.

Faster.

- Faster. - What?

All right. Faster.

(The annoying captain forces them to go faster.)

(With the punishment, he's become a real drowning Larva.)

(Round 4 begins.)

All right. Raise your knees.

- That's it. - My gosh.

There you go. The water should splash like that.

We are having fun.

We are having fun.

Good, In Ah.

(Round 5 begins.)

- Darn it! - Keep your guard up.

(Let's try our best to have fun.)

(We are having fun.)

There are people who envy us even at this very moment.

(The fun game makes them smile.)

All right.

Good. Imagine that your opponent is right here.

(The first game is over.)

(This is killing me.)

(She has no energy to stand.)

- This is so much fun. - It's fun, isn't it?

It's really fun.

(She wants to go home.)

Weren't we supposed to be on a boat?

All right. It's fun, isn't it?

We're playing in the water.

Everyone, here's the second game.

- Are you giving us a bag as a gift? - I have...

something small in my hand.

It's like a swim ring.

You have a swim ring when you play in the water.

I'll give you one each.

- No way. - A swim ring.

- Take one. Pass it on. - Pass it on.

- This is heavy. - It's a swim ring.

- It's a sponge. - It's heavy even in the water.

- What? - Let me explain.

All right. This is a 2.5kg weight plate.

Boxers train like this a lot.

(Plate training to help with the forearm muscles)

(Effective exercise for strengthening your punches)

With this weight plate, you will run back and forth.

This is 25m.

It's 50m if you go back and forth. Do 10 laps, and it's over.

All right. Let's chant together before we start.

I say, "Fun game," and you say, "It's fun!"

Fun game!

- It's fun. - It's fun.

Your voices are too quiet.

You should ride a banana boat after this.

Fun game!

- It's fun. - It's fun.

Start!

It's all about speed.

It's all about speed.

I can't move forward.

(The second game is harder than they thought.)

Gosh, this is hard.

Good. Go forward like that.

(It's not easy because of the weight of the plate and water resistance.)

(Going one step at a time, with difficulty)

My shoulder blades hurt.

You're working out well.

(Here are the shoulder blades.)

Gosh, my shoulder blades.

This is crazy.

(They are groaning here and there.)

Hang on.

(Even Uie, the Stamina Queen, is struggling too.)

(Groaning)

(Moaning)

(She can't stretch out her arms.)

(Passing the halfway point)

Faster.

This is a really fun game.

It feels like I'm getting wings.

This is really fun.

(They finished one lap.)

(Groaning)

All right.

Which part of your body hurts the most now?

Biceps, triceps, shoulder blades, and lower back.

- Biceps and triceps. - All right.

Biceps, triceps, neck, trapezius, shoulders,

- and head. - Biceps and triceps.

Biceps, triceps, back.

(All their muscles are stimulated.)

Gosh, my back hurts.

- My biceps hurt. - Good.

- My triceps hurt. - You shouldn't...

spread your elbows out to the sides.

My biceps.

My shoulder blades.

My shoulder blades.

(Groaning)

(Groaning)

(Groaning)

My biceps hurt.

My triceps hurt too.

My shoulder blades hurt too.

- My abs hurt. - Your abs hurt?

(Groaning)

- It's the 5th lap. - The 5th lap.

(This is when they are nearing their limit.)

This is really tough.

(Everyone is exhausted, )

(so they're becoming quiet.)

Make it longer.

You are not doing it right.

(Uie suddenly starts laughing?)

What's that? That's not how you do it.

- What's wrong with him? - You can't win like this.

I'm suddenly feeling better.

I think I'm getting runner's high.

(I think I'm getting runner's high.)

Captain, I'm getting runner's high.

What? That's great.

- I'm getting runner's high. - That's a good thing.

- That's great. - What's with her?

- Over here. - She's unbelievable.

She's unbelievable.

I'm suddenly feeling so good.

You're doing a great job.

Uie is scaring me.

(She continues training while laughing.)

This is what you need during a match.

Uie has been consumed by adrenaline.

Uie, you should do ten laps here before going to a match.

In Ah is getting something too.

She's not tired anymore. She's holding it with one hand.

I have only two laps left.

I have only two laps left.

All right.

(Good news amidst the pain)

I'm almost there.

I'm finishing the eighth lap.

Do it right. One, two.

I can do this.

The last one!

- The last lap? - The last.

- Is this your last lap, Ju Hyun? - The last one!

Ju Hyun is doing well. That's impressive.

She's a go-getter.

(She has improved her strength a lot in two months.)

- Okay. - Okay. The last.

One, two.

(She's definitely good at long-term things.)

Uie!

(Cardiovascular Endurance Queen, Uie)

(Uie is finished.)

The first place.

The second place, Ju Hyun.

Sae Rok, are you done?

- You can do this. - The third place.

Last.

- The last lap. - Hang in there, In Ah.

- You can do this, In Ah! - Go, In Ah!

(Passing the last halfway point)

The last lap. Hurry.

Come here, Wet Simba.

You got this.

(Welcome)

My love.

Come here.

(In Ah is finished.)

(As if throwing a Frisbee, )

(she throws the 2.5kg weight plate nonchalantly.)

(We did a good job.)

Good work.

Even though you are playing tough games,

your faces are brightening up.

I suddenly started feeling great.

- She's strange. - The thing is...

Positive energy is contagious.

She's spreading positive energy.

I thought I was being strange.

- She's no joke. - You know, Mayweather...

- and Pacquiao fought in 12 rounds. - Yes.

Uie should have 12 rounds.

- Right. - Uie will win...

- only after 12 rounds. - Right. Two rounds aren't enough.

Right. It's too short.

- You're amazing. - Anyway,

the second game is over.

- Yes! - The second game.

What's the next game?

All right. The third...

Good. Guys,

she calls it a game.

I'll give her a bonus ofseven points.

- Yes! - The third game.

You know the combination.

From routine one...

- To routine 8. - to routine 8.

You will simplify them.

You will be doing the routines from 1 to 6.

- In the water? - In the water.

(The routine training in the water)

- Jab, jab. - Jab.

One, two.

- Jab, jab. - Jab.

One, two. Harder.

(They are trying the routines in the water for the first time.)

Forward.

(Punching is difficult due to the water resistance.)

Harder.

One, two.

- This is really hard. - Jab.

- Jab, jab. - Jab, jab.

- One, two. - One, two.

- Jab, jab. - Jab, jab.

- One, two. - One, two.

Okay. Round Two.

This is Round Two.

Round Two. Get ready.

Round Two has begun. Ready, start.

(Jab, jab, one, two, with dumbbells)

(It feels heavier due to the water resistance and dumbbells.)

- Jab, jab, one, two. - Jab, jab, one, two.

Start.

(The sound of a dolphin bursting out in pain)

Good.

(Routine 2: One, two, hook, two)

(Routine 3: One, two, hook, hook)

- Jab, jab. - Jab, jab.

(A splash created by a full-power punch)

Ready.

Okay.

You should create a splash.

Create a splash

(Giggling)

(What was that?)

- Create a splash - Create a splash

(The song rubs off on her.)

- This is fun. - Is it fun?

Create a splash

(Create a splash)

(To the beat of the song)

(Routine 4: One, two, uppercut, hook)

(Routine 5: One, two, uppercut, uppercut, hook, hook)

(Routine 6: One, two, hook, two, dodge, hit)

(Dumbbells create even stronger splashes.)

You guys are doing well.

The last one.

Make it faster. So I can't see your hands. Ready.

Go.

(For the last lap, they put their 100 percent in.)

Okay. Put them down.

All right. The third game is over.

Oh, dear.

All right. We have the last game left now.

You just did shadowboxing in the water.

Now,

you'll go completely into the water.

While holding your breath,

you'll practice shadowboxing.

For about five seconds, you should try...

to stretch your fist with all your might in the water.

You'll come up to the surface to catch your breath for a while.

Then you dive back down and practice your punches.

There will be only 1 round, which is 3 minutes long.

- I'll give you swimming goggles. - Okay.

(Putting on the swimming goggles)

To help you stay in the water,

I'll give you a diving belt.

Pass it on.

(Ready to dive with goggles and diving belts)

All right, everyone.

- I'll show you what to do. - Okay.

(Captain Dong Hyun, a former marine, gives a demonstration.)

I don't come out until someone touches me.

I lose track of time.

- You should touch me. - Yes.

Tell me if you're bored.

- Okay. - Then I'll come up.

(He's talking too much.)

Come on.

- I'm doing this for you. - Okay.

- I get it. - I'll do it.

(I'm a Marine, who is good at diving.)

(How good is Captain Kim at diving then?)

What?

We didn't call you.

(Only 3 seconds?)

We didn't call you.

- Go back down. - You didn't?

You know what?

I knock my opponent down in three seconds.

I can finish things only with eight punches.

While you shadowbox, if your opponent is down,

- you can come up. - Okay.

- Like I did. - Let's go.

If you finish this, the training is over.

- Okay. - Okay?

Ready.

Start.

(The 3-minute underwater shadowboxing starts.)

(Underwater shadowboxing where they fight against buoyancy)

(While imagining a real match, )

(they throw punches carefully.)

Okay.

(After taking a breath, they go back in.)

(Everyone comes up for a breath.)

She's holding for a long time.

(In Ah doesn't come out of the water.)

She's holding her breath for a long time.

(Relaxed)

Gosh, In Ah.

(In Ah)

What's with In Ah?

Hey, In Ah.

- You're the best. - Why?

- It's been almost one minute. - Really?

Start again.

It's been one minute.

(1 minute has passed.)

Go. One, two.

(Underwater mitt work)

(Her punches are strong even in the water.)

(Out of breath)

KO. Go back in.

It's been two minutes.

(It's been 2 minutes.)

Last one minute.

(Groaning)

(It's getting harder to hold their breath.)

Why are three minutes so long?

All right. By practicing holding your breath,

you are improving your cardiorespiratory endurance.

Focus.

Hold your breath.

(It is hard even for Cardiovascular Endurance Queen.)

(The 3 minutes are over.)

Okay. Last 30 seconds.

(Last 30 seconds?)

(The 3 minutes are already over.)

Keep going. It's almost over.

(Ju Hyun, let's spar.)

(They are sparring without knowing that it's over.)

You're sparring in the water.

(Uie and In Ah begin sparring as well.)

(He's just watching them.)

(The four of them continue sparring, unaware of the situation.)

Come on. You're almost there.

(It's been 4 minutes since they went underwater.)

Last few seconds.

Last few seconds.

Wait. Is it not over yet?

No, last few seconds.

This is it. Last few seconds.

This is the last part. Just a few seconds.

Last few seconds.

(Dong Hyun keeps mumbling about the time to drag it out.)

Are you pranking us?

What are you talking about? You're almost there.

- It hasn't been 3 minutes yet? - Come on. You've got 5 seconds.

Come on. It's 5, 4...

(Busted, he hastily begins the countdown.)

Come on. 3, 4, 5.

(Dong Hyun is stalling again.)

Two, one.

(The underwater shadowboxing is over after about 5 minutes.)

Nice. Good job.

You did great.

You were actually in there for two extra minutes.

No wonder it was exhausting.

You all worked so hard today.

Feel free to play in the water. Do you want to?

- No. - You're hungry, aren't you?

(Forget about playing in the water. We're exhausted.)

- We're done. - Good job today.

(This is what you get for extending our time underwater!)

You should ride the banana boat.

We'll let you ride on it.

We don't want to.

Now it’s time to get serious with training.

(What is next on their training schedule?)

(The first competition is 30 days away.)

(Once again)

I can't believe we're back here again.

This place feels like home now...

because we come here so often.

Should we start wrapping our hands? Let's do it.

Okay.

(Exhaling)

(As always, Uie is nervous.)

Uie and I were talking earlier,

and we briefly mentioned the competition.

From that moment, her hands started to shake and she began sweating.

And then she took cheongsimhwan.

Why would you take...

I've been so nervous that I reached a whole new level of tension.

- Really? - I'm actually calmer now.

I have this strange feeling that I'm going to tear up that day.

- Right. - I would feel strange.

You might not understand, but for me,

I feel my fingertips tingle, and that feeling spreads to my toes.

- Because you're nervous. - Yes.

Goodness. You're worse than I am.

- Seriously. - If you're nervous...

I wish I could feel nervous.

Being nervous is so fun.

You're welcome to take Uie's.

Being nervous is what releases dopamine and adrenaline.

That leads you to forget about the pain,

and you get to be fully in that moment.

I think she is addicted to dopamine.

(Gwang Bok doesn’t let nervousness get to her.)

How are we so different?

(The two men appear, ready to heighten their nervousness.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(The team greets them loudly.)

- Hello. - You're in good spirits today.

The team has good vibes.

- Hello. - Hello.

The competition is right around the corner.

Today is finally our second full sparring.

- Yes. - Gosh.

(Their second full sparring)

(The memories of their first full sparring)

(The memories of getting hit)

(The memories of the pain)

(And today)

(It's time to get back in the ring.)

(Let's see how much the Iron Girls have grown.)

Experiences like this one are very necessary.

- Okay. - Right.

Martial art should be the thing martial artists do the most.

Other trainings are important, of course.

- In Ah and I... - Yes?

Sparred separately.

But In Ah got her opponent to get a nosebleed.

(She drew blood from her opponent's nose twice.)

(Simba Seol is showing her claws.)

That rumor spread nationwide, so even I...

- Even I watched that video. - Gosh.

- You did? - I was shocked.

I was amazed while watching the video, and I screamed out loud.

She's really amazing.

She really is amazing.

- She is so fascinating. - In my first sparring,

you all saw that I got hit a lot.

I was knocked out too.

So for two weeks, I trained hard with determination.

I never wanted to experience that again.

Having learned such a huge lesson,

I practiced even harder.

I'm thankful that we're on the same team.

I made a promise to myself a few days ago...

to get on In Ah's good side.

That explains why Sae Rok was treating In Ah so well.

- Sae Rok! - She was like, "In Ah."

"In Ah, come here. Are you all right?"

So I knew something was going on.

I know you probably wouldn't be as nervous as the first sparring,

- but you still must be nervous. - Yes.

Treat today’s practice as if it were a real match.

- Let's take this seriously. - Okay.

You'll be joined by athletes today.

The most experienced one has been boxing for 11 months.

The least experienced one has been boxing for two months.

- That's similar to us. - "Two months?"

You've been up against people...

- with such long careers. - That's right.

So now you're not sure about someone with 11 months.

- "That shouldn't be bad." - Wait.

Wait. I mean, two months...

But by now, you should all know that what matters most...

is how well you trained.

To prepare for their competitions,

- they've sparred 2 to 3 times. - So they've been sparring.

- That's a lot. - Guys, do you remember?

Whether or not they'll make good opponents...

is something we should consider...

- Yes! - after meeting them.

- Yes. - Okay.

(The athletes approach the Iron Girls.)

- Here they come. - Here they come.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(The four mysterious athletes)

(What kind of opponents are they?)

- Hello. Please come here. - Hello.

They look like they're going to be so good.

- They look so strong. - They look like they'll be good.

The last one looks really strong.

The last one looks really strong.

First, please introduce yourself.

I've been boxing for two months,

and I'm an office worker. I am Lim Eun Ji.

(The first fighter)

(Lim Eun Ji, with 2 months of boxing experience)

It doesn't feel like she boxed for two months.

I have a good eye, and the way I see it,

she doesn't give two-months vibes.

(She exudes the vibe of a fighter from her build.)

Have you ever played any other sport?

I used to be a taekwondo athlete.

(She almost had us fooled.)

Her footwork must be insane.

I've been an athlete for about 20 years.

(On top of that, she's been an athlete for about 20 years.)

(Silenced)

I won the World Taekwondo Junior Championships in high school.

Did you say "World?"

"World?"

"World."

She had prepared for the Olympics. Tell us more.

I was a youth national team member.

As a senior athlete,

I came in fourth place at the national team qualifiers.

(She has an impressive career.)

That's insane.

She has competed on the world stage.

Right. The world stage.

Can you show us your boxing position and kick?

Can we see how you gain the upper hand? Just a sneak peek.

- Did you prepare something? - No, can you...

- Me? - Can you hold this here?

The mitt.

Wait.

You don't make mistakes, right?

I've seen people miss and kick the hand instead, many times.

No, I'm just going to do a roundhouse kick.

(All eyes are on Eun Ji to see if she makes a mistake.)

I'll just do a quick one.

(The kick sent the glove flying out of the ring in an instant.)

(Their jaws drop.)

(The other fighters are shocked too.)

(But Eun Ji, herself, remains unfazed.)

I had such a strong grip on it.

- The impact was... - We could tell it was heavy.

(He didn't even open his hand.)

But boxing and taekwondo...

because one is about the arms, the other is about the legs.

- You're still doing footwork. - Don't lie!

- You're still doing footwork. - Don't lie!

- You still do footwork. - Right. You do footwork.

The footwork may be similar,

but they're completely different sports.

We were told that footwork is everything.

- In boxing, footwork is everything. - He said footwork is everything.

"In boxing, footwork is everything. Punches come from footwork."

"Punches come from footwork."

Also, I noticed your form.

Are you left-handed?

I'm ambidextrous,

but I fought from a left stance in taekwondo.

- Are you left-handed in boxing too? - Yes.

She is a southpaw. We're doomed.

- That's going to be tricky. - They don't have that experience.

- This will be our first. - That's going to be tricky.

I am curious.

- I'm really curious too. - I'm looking forward to seeing it.

- I look forward to it. - Can the next fighter...

introduce herself, please?

Hello, I've been boxing for eight months now.

My name is Seol In Hee.

(The second fighter)

(Seol In Hee, with 8 months of boxing experience)

I began boxing with the goal of losing weight.

I've lost about 10kg.

- That's amazing. - "10kg?"

- You lost 10kg? - That's so impressive.

I didn't think I'd be able to lose this much.

But I can feel my stamina improving a lot,

and it's starting to be fun for me.

If you're having fun, you must be good.

Which part of it is fun for you?

- Well... - Hitting your opponent?

That too.

- Gosh. - Gosh.

I don't know that feeling.

Doesn't she sound like a master?

The vibe she's giving off.

She's kind of like us.

(Meanwhile, next to the confident athele...)

(these two boxers await their turn.)

The two of you seem to be so nervous.

Your faces are so red.

(They can't hide their nervousness.)

Your faces are so red.

The thing is,

you can't let things like that fool you.

- Right. - In the match,

(My bad)

That's right.

I see a lot of athletes in the waiting room.

They seem so nervous there,

but then, in the ring, they turn into different people.

- That's right. - That's true.

On the other hand, someone who is confident can perform poorly.

For now, they say they're nervous.

Let's hear who these two people are.

Who will be the one who has 11 months of experience?

Hello, I have been boxing for 11 months,

and my name is Kim Yu Bin.

I'm an office worker, and I'm training in boxing.

Gosh, 11 months?

(The third fighter)

(11 months of boxing experience, Kim Yu Bin)

I heard that...

you guys have 2 to 11 months of experience.

Then you must be the most experienced.

Do you also have experience in competitions?

Yes. This March,

I attended the community sports competition,

but I wasn't able to win.

Unfortunately, I lost on points.

I lost on points,

so I do want my hand to be raised one day.

That's cool.

- You're my style. - How cool.

Were you nervous then?

I was so nervous.

Were you more nervous then or now?

I think I'm more nervous now.

- How cute. - You're cute.

You already want to fight, don't you?

I'd rather just get it over with quickly.

You'd rather?

How did you first get into boxing?

I was just watching videos about boxing and the matches,

- and they looked so cool. - Yes.

I was wanting to start exercising, so I just decided to go with boxing.

Do you know that even when you were smiling,

your eyes changed when you talked about boxing?

Me?

You're a bit scary.

She has the eyes of a fighter.

- I can feel it. - She's a bit hunched,

and she talks like this.

- She's ready to throw a punch. - I mean,

why is your left foot out?

Let me tell you in advance.

You need to watch out.

Hello, I am a university student.

I have been boxing for eight months, and I am Lim Sun Woo.

(The fourth fighter)

(8 months of boxing experience, Lim Sun Woo)

I attended the community sports competition twice.

(Two times in 8 months?)

My record is two fights, one win and one loss.

- Two fights, 1 win and 1 loss? - Yes.

That's cool.

She's good.

It's so cool that she can even say that.

I used to do...

another sport.

What was it?

When I was in my third year of middle school,

in order to relieve stress from studying,

I went to a jiu-jitsu gym.

What? When you were in your third year of middle school?

(Excuse me. You went where?)

I'm currently a blue belt.

That's so good.

You're so good.

You did it for more than a year.

You're so good.

(It's very difficult to advance in jiu-jitsu.)

You did jiu-jitsu, and then?

While doing jiu-jitsu, I did MMA too.

(You also did mixed martial arts?)

I also attended the community sports competition for MMA once.

- In MMA? - Yes.

- Did you win? - Yes, well...

I did win on points,

but I was really bad then.

But luckily, I was able to win.

(She was a fighter who experienced a win on points.)

No wonder your lower abdomen looks strong.

- Yes, she has a great body. - It seems different.

(Her build and aura were impressive from the beginning.)

- She's a true martial artist. - Exactly.

Don't be tricked by the eight months of boxing experience.

- Her eight years in boxing... - She's an elite.

When she said she was nervous, she was just pretending to.

She melted my heart, but...

- She won't be easy. - They are all so strong.

And now, they sent over...

- the match list. - The most important part.

- The match list. - The match list.

- Why are you holding it? - I will announce it.

The weight class and age were taken into account...

when setting the match list.

It was done fairly.

For the first match,

Keum Sae Rok,

please step forward.

(Sae Rok in the Blue Corner)

Your opponent is...

(Red Corner)

Lim Eun Ji.

(Eun Ji in the Red Corner)

(Astounded)

No way.

(The former member of the youth taekwondo national team)

Stand facing each other for the face-off.

Stand close.

- It's a southpaw again. Gosh. - A southpaw.

- Goodness. - She's a southpaw.

Goodness. What do I do?

- I'm already baffled. - She's already baffled.

Sae Rok.

- Don't chicken out. - It's all about energy.

Sae Rok, your eyes!

(She turns her Spirited Sae Rok mode on.)

They have similar height.

- You're right. - She's tall.

- Please face forward. - Yes, sir.

(Keum Sae Rok versus Lim Eun Ji, Round 1)

(Age: 32, 34)

(Height: 169cm, 171cm)

(Experience: 2 months, 2 months)

Uie and Seol In Hee.

(Uie versus Seol In Hee, Round 2)

(Age: 37, 27, Height: 172cm, 160cm, Experience: 2 months, 2 months)

Seol In Ah and Lim Sun Woo.

(Seol In Ah versus Lim Sun Woo, Round 3)

(Age: 29, 22, Height: 167cm, 164cm, Experience: 2 months, 8 months)

Park Ju Hyun against Kim Yu Bin.

(Park Ju Hyun versus Kim Yu Bin, Round 4)

(Age: 30, 25, Height: 166cm, 157cm, Experience: 2 months, 11 months)

Today's sparring won't have an outcome.

And it will have the same rules as last time.

However, I heard that there is a slight difference, like time.

Today's sparring...

will consist of 2 rounds of 2 minutes.

- It's two minutes today? - Yes.

If you go to the competition,

you have to fight seriously as soon as it begins.

Two minutes of sparring is like...

a minute and 30 seconds in the competition.

That's why in order to train the strength for that time,

it is even often trained up to three minutes.

And the rest time will be 40 seconds.

- Okay. - Okay.

Great, then...

- please prepare for the match. - Yes.

(The Iron Girls' second sparring)

The first match.

Lim Eun Ji and Keum Sae Rok.

Please step forward.

(The first fighter is Sae Rok.)

It could be tight.

It's okay.

How is this?

It's good.

(She nervously puts on the gloves.)

Let's go.

(Feeling the tension)

I can do it.

(I can do it!)

Let's try the footwork today.

(Since it is her second time doing the full sparring, )

(Sae Rok is determined on another level.)

Sae Rok, seriously,

- you have no reason to be nervous. - Yes.

- Just stay calm. - Okay.

- Alright? - Yes.

Turn, backstep, backstep, two, backstep, two.

If you keep that going,

you have much better footwork.

Just remember that.

(She has only 2 months of experience in boxing, )

(but she conquered the world with her taekwondo skills.)

(And she is a southpaw, which is more challenging.)

Her footwork is amazing. Her taekwondo footwork.

Taekwondo athletes are so swift.

They can spin so quickly.

I saw her for a second, and she is amazing.

(A tough opponent, )

(but she cannot step back.)

Please come here. Enter.

(It is time to start the match.)

Please play fair.

It's 2 rounds of 2-minute sparring.

Please play fair,

and no attacking the back of the head.

And of course, you can't kick.

Even if you're confused, you can't kick.

Back to your corners.

(Back to their own corners)

Back to your corners.

(Back to their own corners)

Deep breath.

Take it easy, okay?

Think of it as a lesson.

Let's go, Sae Rok.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

(Sae Rok is ready to fight.)

Don't get nervous, starting now.

Okay.

Box!

(Round 1 begins.)

Box!

(Sae Rok tries to attack first.)

(Stepping back)

That's it.

Let's go.

Push forward. It's too far.

Step forward.

(Sae Rok's parry)

(Parry, two, stepping back again)

(Her opponent counterattacks immediately.)

Gosh, look at her footwork. It's crazy.

Her footwork is great, so she can shuffle well.

(You can quickly tell that her feet are quick.)

She's using taekwondo skills in boxing.

She's using taekwondo footwork.

- Her footwork is amazing. - Throw it.

She's so good at shuffling. She's too far.

(With the ex-taekwondoist's footwork, )

(Sae Rok is having a hard time from the beginning.)

(The opponent attacks quickly.)

(She got hit with a straight punch.)

(She attacks and quickly adjusts the distance.)

(Due to the opponent's swift transitions, )

(she can only keep the opponent in check.)

Go up.

Step forward.

It should be this side.

Throw it.

(She needs to attack now.)

Watch the feet.

- That's it. - Push forward.

(1 valid strike)

(2 valid strikes)

- It's okay. - You have to go in.

You can do it.

Just don't lose the tension.

(But...)

(The opponent quickly steps back...)

(and attacks right away.)

(The punch comes in with a long reach.)

- Throw it. - That was close.

Use your waist. Go lower.

- You can do it. - Good.

- That's it. - Good.

Use your fist.

(She gets hit with a straight punch.)

(She was able to make a valid strike with a jab.)

- That's it. - Go on.

You can go forward.

(The two fighters look for the right timing.)

- You can do it. - Go for it.

(Feint)

- With the hand. - That's it.

(After keeping in check, )

(another valid strike)

(Spending more time on checking the opponent)

That's right.

(A heavy straight)

Again.

- That's right. - You have to fight back right away.

Watch the opponent coming.

(Waiting for a chance to attack again)

That's it. Good.

The opponent is good at dodging. She's too far.

That's far enough for a kick.

They're boxing, but that's far enough for a kick.

Do your footwork. Have the composure.

- Yes. Nice jab. - Yes.

(Sae Rok jabs first.)

(Valid strike 1, 2, 3)

(The opponent's series of counterattacks)

Fight on!

(After attacking, she keeps on check again.)

Ten seconds.

Turn around.

Stop. Again.

Turn around.

(Sae Rok lost her balance.)

Okay. Box!

Go, Sae Rok.

Watch her fists.

(Keep faking without giving up to the end)

- Stop. - It's okay.

(Sighing)

(Sighing with regret)

- It's okay. - You can do it.

Sae Rok, it's okay. It's only Round One.

- She's good at backing up. - The opponent has good footwork.

She's very good at backing up.

She won't give me a chance to throw a punch.

The opponent keeps staying still and punches quickly.

So while jabbing,

try sliding and hitting, okay?

It's okay. You're doing great. Take a deep breath.

(Planning to attack with dodge and hit in Round 2)

Punch a lot.

Your left hand is too low.

Keep your chin down.

Don't jab. Go two-one-two.

- Don't use one-two anymore. - Okay.

She's so fast.

(Catching her breath calmly)

(Round 2 begins.)

- Go for two. - Two!

Don't give up.

One-two. You got it.

(The opponent makes a sudden series of attacks.)

(Valid strike 1)

(The opponent makes a sudden series of attacks.)

(Valid strike 2)

(Sae Rok tries to attack despite getting hit.)

Use your fists.

Turn around.

(Valid strike)

(They throw punches at the same time.)

(But due to the opponent's long reach, )

(Sae Rok's punch didn't reach.)

Look how she backs out.

She's reading the footwork.

Sae Rok, you can do the same.

- Don't worry. - Okay.

(Sae Rok makes a feint to make the opponent attack.)

(The opponent fell for Sae Rok's feint.)

You should've thrown a hook.

(However, she missed her chance while hesitating.)

You have to fight back.

Wait for her to come in.

(When Sae Rok throws a two...)

Oh, her foot...

(She tries to kick by instinct.)

Don't raise your foot.

(Reorganizing her footwork)

- Go. - You can do it.

When she goes back, you can go back too.

Go back. Cut her out.

(Valid strike 1)

(Valid strike 2)

(Valid strike 3)

(Valid strike 4)

(Valid strike 5)

(5 constant valid strikes)

(After attacking, she backs out.)

- Gosh. She's fast. - Don't stop your footwork.

- Keep your guard up. - You can do it.

(Looking for the timing)

Your opponent is just as tired.

Keep punching.

- Keep punching. - Keep trying one-two.

Throw your one-two. Why aren't you doing it?

- Give it a try. - Punch.

Keep your guard up.

Try. That's right.

(The slugfest begins.)

Punch.

Try. That's right.

Punch. Yes.

Keep your guard up.

It's better to get in there. Yes, that's better.

Yes, it's better to get in there.

Get in there. That's it.

- Get in there. That's better. - Okay.

Get in there. Yes. That's better.

(Sae Rok continues pushing the opponent.)

- Yes. Don't back out. - Get in there.

That's it.

(Her punch accuracy is dropping.)

Try. It's okay.

- Get in there. - You can do it.

- Yes! Get in there. - Yes.

(A perfectly landed valid strike)

- Yes! Get in there. - Yes.

Keep your guard up.

(Cross-counter)

(Valid strike, Valid strike)

- Ten seconds. - Go in.

- Good. - Yes.

(A brutal physical fight continues.)

(She keeps an eye on the opponent...)

(and continues to throw a punch without giving up.)

(Round 2 ends.)

- Okay. - Sae Rok, you were energetic.

Good job.

Good job, Keum Sae Rok.

You tried until the end. Good job.

Sae Rok, you were so dogged.

She was a tough opponent.

- She was so picky. - That was really hard.

- She was very hard. - She was a picky opponent.

She was pickier than those who learned boxing for fun...

- for 3 or 4 years. - He's right.

Just for being good at backing up...

A boxer like her is hard to defeat.

Sae Rok, you had a very good experience today.

That's true.

Let's bring in the coaches and the boxers.

That was a great game. Let's give it up for them.

- Gosh. - That was amazing.

(Shaking her head)

She's very good at backing up.

She showed fancy footwork.

- When I attacked, it didn't work. - Right.

So it was really frustrating and upsetting.

I'm not sure if boxing and taekwondo have the same kind of footwork.

You were like a professional boxer.

- Your footwork was... - Totally.

- Gosh. - It was crazy.

I was deceived by your two months of experience.

(The scary taekwondo footwork is rare in boxing.)

This is why footwork is important in boxing.

- Okay? - Yes.

It was victory to her feet.

And she put on a series of blows that I'd always wanted to do.

It was the best.

Let's hear from Lim Eun Ji. How was it?

Even though she doesn't have much experience,

she was very enthusiastic.

And above all, her stamina is very good.

Me?

(Giggling)

Her stamina was so good that I couldn't concentrate at the end.

As it went...

- Your stamina is very good. - Yes.

Sae Rok had good stamina near the end.

- Right. - Yes.

I did my best to do the footwork...

compared to before.

- I often waited and hit... - Yes.

Until now.

I wanted to be aggressive...

and fight with enthusiasm until the end today.

Is that why you went for it near the end?

- I see. - Good job.

Even if I get hit,

just keep my guard up...

and hit the opponent for at least once.

(Sae Rok's second full sparring results:)

(Due to lack of stamina, her footwork was rather timid.)

(Her footwork became enthusiastic and aggressive.)

(Strengths: Instinctive sense of distance for a chance to attack)

(Points to improve: Her front foot lost balance...)

(which resulted in a big punch.)

- Because it's sparring, - Yes.

There's no win or loss.

You're both winners.

Let's give it up for them.

Thank you.

You had good experience.

(Good job.)

Good job. Now, let's get ready for the second game.

Seol In Hee and Uie, please come forward.

(The most nervous moment)

- You know you can do it. - Yes.

- Are you nervous? - No, I'm okay.

No need to be nervous.

As always, once it's over, it's no big deal.

Imagine you're sparring against us.

Okay.

(Uie's opponent...)

(has 8 months of boxing experience.)

(The person with solid basic skills)

Don't let your legs move or you can't make a continuous blow.

Turn your waist.

(It's time for the two fighters to enter the ring.)

Think of it as if you're going to throw 100 punches.

- Just do it. - Okay.

Enter. Come forward.

Uie, you can do it.

It's Seol In Hee versus Uie.

Play fair.

As you saw, it's 2 rounds of 2 minutes.

- Corner. - Good luck.

Think about your goal.

(Uie prepares for the game more calmly than usual.)

Go, Kim Yu Jin.

(Uie's ready to play.)

Okay?

Okay.

Box.

(Round 1 begins.)

(The two fight from the start.)

Punch.

(Valid strike, Valid strike)

(They exchange valid strikes.)

(Valid strike)

(Uie attacks one more time.)

(The two fighters attack with enthusiasm.)

That's right.

(Valid strike on each other again)

(The opponent's strong straight)

Don't get too close. Fight using only jabs.

(Uie calculates the distance and waits for a chance to jab.)

(They punch at the same time.)

(Valid strike)

(Uie succeeds in making a valid strike thanks to the gap in reach.)

When you jab, her punch breaks.

Focus on jabs. Yes. Just focus on your jabs.

- Dodge, dodge, punch. - Yes.

(Followed by one-two)

(One, two, one, two)

Yes. You got it.

- Focus. - She has good stamina.

Punch.

(Endless jab using her endless stamina)

- Punch. - You got it.

(Jab again)

- Good job. - Punch.

She has good stamina.

Jab is all she needs.

(She attempts one jab after another.)

The opponent is flustered.

The opponent is getting tired.

- She has good stamina. - Push her.

Push her.

- Focus. - You have the power.

(Uie focuses and waits for a chance to attack.)

Keep going.

(Valid strike)

(Valid strike 1, 2)

Don't let the opponent rest. She wants to rest.

- Yes. - Don't let her rest.

She's resting. If you let her rest, she'll come at you.

That's right.

(Uie's one-two, the opponent's body shot)

You have to go in. You can do it.

That's it.

(She throws a jab where it is open.)

(Taking a deep breath)

Yes. Try again.

Yes. Again.

One more time.

(Valid strike 1)

(She's hit by the opponent's strike big time.)

(Valid strike 1, Valid strike 2)

(But Uie continues to jab.)

(Valid strike 3)

(The opponent dashes fiercely.)

(Counterattacking with endless one-two)

Turn around. Yes.

Get in there right away.

(The exhausted opponent keeps a distance.)

She's just as exhausted.

Keep going. That's right.

Again.

- Push harder. - Try it again.

(Uie continues to punch without a break.)

(Round 1 ends.)

(Finishing up with a buzzer beater)

Good job.

- Right on the bell. - Good job.

I think the opponent got hit by her jab like 30 times.

Wasn't that like 40 times?

She was good.

Your shoulders are too tight.

Just relax and jab.

You're facing all the attacks...

because you're so stiff.

Okay.

Just make a feint and go for one-two.

If you make four punches, you're guaranteed to hit her.

One, two, three, and four. Okay?

Yes.

Don't be nervous. That's not what you usually do.

If you see your chance, get close immediately.

And don't just wait.

Don't back out.

You have to push her.

We only have two things to do. Parrying and the body shot.

- Yes. - Okay?

- Kim Yu Jin, you're doing great. - Do you have stamina left?

Make sure to use it all.

- Use up your stamina. - Use it all up.

You're doing great.

(Round 2 begins.)

Last two minutes.

Something big is coming. That's right.

Cross.

(Valid strike 1, 2)

(Due to the gap in reach, only Uie's strike was valid.)

(Valid strike 4, 5)

- Yes. Just one-two. - Yes.

(Uie's continuous jab)

- Yes. - Yes. Again.

Yes.

(The opponent's strong straight)

(Fighting back with a continuous jab)

(Uie slowly takes over the flow by cornering the opponent.)

If she touches your lead hand, go for two, one, two.

Punch.

(The opponent tries the body blow.)

She's going for the body because she can't reach the face.

Make a deep punch.

(Uie avoids the attack with quick footwork.)

Make a deep punch.

(The opponent continues to look for a chance to attack.)

(Valid strike)

(A huge gap in reach)

- Do what you practiced. - Okay.

(The opponent's body shot)

(A heavy hook)

(Counterattacking with a jab)

- Gosh. Her jab is crazy... - Yes!

Yes.

(Uie's endless one-two begins again.)

(Accurate one-two)

(The opponent's unyielding straight)

Try it again.

(Followed by the body shot)

(The opponent keeps a distance again.)

Uie, your opponent is resting.

She's coming in.

- Cross. Yes. - Yes.

(Succeeding in attacking before the opponent)

(Punching at the same time)

(Going for the body)

(Fighting back with a jab)

Again.

Try it one more time.

(Both fighters don't give up until the end.)

Quickly. Yes. Again.

Punch again. Again.

- Stop. - Okay.

(Round 2 ends.)

Good job.

Go to your...

You can go now. You can greet her now.

Uie, that was great.

Good job. That was good.

- Good job. That was amazing. - You made like 40 valid jabs.

That was a fun game.

You grew so much.

(Uie's strength was evident in this game.)

You're warmed up now that Round Two is over.

See? When you punch 2 or 3 times, you get to hit her.

Now that Round Two is over, you're warmed up.

What do I do?

I should play one round before the competition.

Good job.

(Something only Stamina Queen can say)

- That was impressive. - Really?

That was impressive.

You didn't dodge.

Gosh. How do you do that?

Her reach is so long.

That's like getting hit even before approaching her.

(Bouncing off like this)

So if we meet a boxer like her...

- and decide to get close to her, - We have to do this.

We must keep getting closer endlessly.

If we get closer and back out,

- it's our loss. - True.

We must not back out.

- We need more stamina. - First of all,

that was a truly wonderful game.

She was the one I wanted to avoid the most.

Just as I expected, the gap in reach was huge.

I was planning to go for the body...

She came up with a good strategy.

- But Uie's stamina was too good. - Exactly.

She was probably unaware of it.

- She kept punching nonstop. - Right.

I was expecting her to get tired in Round Two.

She can do ten rounds no problem.

Twelve rounds.

Uie, how was it?

To be honest, for my first sparring,

I told the coach that I'd use up all my stamina.

I had to keep taking steps and move back and forth.

But I couldn't do that at all in my first sparring.

Today, I wanted to punch as much as I could.

When it was over, I tasted blood in my throat.

I was very thankful today.

I could tell that you gave your all.

(In the last sparring, she couldn't use up...)

(all her stamina due to simple attacks.)

(In her sparring today, she punched endlessly.)

(Uie made countless valid strikes.)

At this rate, your opponents will become similar.

Eventually, you'll be able to predict the jab.

Then you'll have to back out and get closer again.

Right now, you keep getting closer.

So you get hit from time to time.

- Right. - I did.

If you practice going in and out,

you'll be able to use your rear hand more.

You were able to take the lead...

- in this sparring. - Okay.

All Uie did was jab and one-two.

Yet, the opponent was helpless.

(Uie's second full sparring results:)

(Strengths: Threw one-twos that were 100 percent accurate.)

(Improved in continuous attacks)

You have a good body condition,

yet you kept getting closer.

- You were kind of hasty. - Okay.

When you punched 2 or 3 times, it all worked.

- Really? - Yes. One-two.

And the best part was the jab.

Every time you jabbed, you hit her.

That's what you need to work on.

Get ready for the third match.

Seol In Ah versus Lim Sun Woo.

This is the main event.

This is the main event.

- The big match. - The main event.

(Captain Kim can't stay still.)

It's going to be bloody.

It's going to be bloody.

Gosh.

(The boxer of the soon-to-be bloody game)

- The look in her eyes... - She has a great form.

- And she's very good. - What?

Her form does not look like an amateur's.

- Really? - She's good.

(The opponent with a unique posture)

(Stamina and agility from MMA and jiu-jitsu)

(The fighter with a fierce look)

They look like they'll both be brutal.

Play as hard as you can.

- Don't go easy on her. - Okay.

Jiu-jitsu is...

- Yes. - one-on-one.

Jiu-jitsu and MMA fighters are strong.

And that makes their punches strong.

- Gosh. - It's going to be a long match.

Maybe I should've gone first.

I'm like a dessert after the main dish.

- Right. The main event... - After the main course,

- the dessert. - The dessert after the main course.

- This is the main course. - I'll be sweet.

That sounds good.

- Done. - Your nose?

It's fine.

(Glancing)

(The opponent is warming up on the ring.)

She's good.

She's good. She's very good.

In Ah, try everything you want.

- Okay. - Go, Seol In Ah.

You're our pride.

(Entering the ring with the girls' support)

Don't worry.

Take a deep breath.

(Bracing herself by taking a deep breath)

Be aware of getting beaten. It's okay.

Some days, you hit. And some days, you get hit.

- Just play at ease. - The third...

The third sparring will begin.

Fighters, come forward.

(Blue Corner: Seol In Ah)

In Ah's eyes turned deadly serious.

(Red Corner: Lim Sun Woo)

Lim Sun Woo and Seol In Ah.

- Play fair. - Thank you.

Please don't get too excited or enraged.

- But give it your all. - Understood.

The opponent's eyes are just as serious.

She must be nervous.

The fighters in this round are about the same height.

(Their serious eyes intensify the atmosphere.)

Touch gloves.

Corner.

Okay?

Okay?

Box!

(Round 1 begins.)

- Look at her eyes. - Good luck, In Ah.

Her eyes are dead serious.

She's good.

(The two size each other up with feisty footwork.)

Good luck. Nice footwork.

- Punch. Good. - Okay.

- Okay. - Yes, good.

- That's it. - In Ah's strong.

(In Ah's right hook and the opponent's one-two)

In Ah has gotten really strong. That's it.

- Go. - Keep your pace.

- Go for it. - That's it.

(Low)

(In Ah's aggressive attacks)

(The opponent dodges with a weave.)

That was great, In Ah.

- Okay, turn. - Nice one.

Nice turn.

That's it. Good.

(The two trade fierce blows.)

In Ah's punches are really strong.

(Looking for an opening while moving with footwork)

Punch. Just like that.

(After a few exchanges)

Try...

(The opponent dodges and punches.)

Turn.

Yes.

(The opponent's swift duck and hook)

(Another cross-counter)

- Yes. Nice one. - Yes.

(In Ah's punch came a step faster.)

Good. That was a good feint.

(His jaw dropped at the beautiful sight.)

Her punch is so strong.

- Good job. - Amazing.

The opponent tried to approach with style,

but was stunned by In Ah's punch.

From what I see, the opponent can't do anything.

She's totally taken aback.

(In Ah is waiting for the opponent to attack.)

Attack when the opponent throws a jab. Right way.

- That's it. Yes. - All the way through.

(Jab)

(Body hook)

I told you to fight back.

(While taking a hit, In Ah counters with a right hook.)

(In Ah drives the opponent to the corner with her footwork.)

(The opponent maintains her footwork.)

(She's regaining her rhythm.)

The opponent is waiting.

Right now. Yes, that's it.

- Nice one. - Well done.

(One, two)

(One, counter, right hook)

(Left hook)

(Ducking)

(The opponent throws punches with various techniques, then retreats.)

Easy.

Just like that. Great job.

Well done.

(However)

(Like a predator stalking its prey, )

(Simba Seol waits and throws a full-power punch.)

(Putting her guard up right away)

In Ah's too strong.

(When she takes a hit, )

(In Ah fires back even harder.)

(Taking one hit)

(Counterattack 1)

(Counterattack 2)

(Counterattack 3)

(Counterattack 4)

(Counterattack 5)

(Counterattack 6)

(Countering many times over)

(The savage beast in the ring)

(A jaw-dropping scene)

I need popcorn.

In Ah is unbelievable.

In Ah is... Gosh.

Keep watching her.

Easy. That's it.

Yes. Move.

Hit her the moment you get close.

Get close. Punch. Yes.

- Punch. Again. That's it. - Nice.

That's it.

(In Ah throws punches with all she's got in the last 10 seconds.)

- Go in. Yes. - In Ah.

Stop!

(Round 1 ends.)

(In Ah was so immersed that she missed the bell.)

Hurry. Get ready.

Breathe.

Well done. Now breathe.

(While In Ah is catching her breath)

Deep breaths. Take a deep breath.

You're doing well.

Throw a right hand while keeping your guard up.

One more time. Inhale deeply.

(Meanwhile, one man is still in a daze.)

- We should breathe as well. - That was crazy.

- Breathe. - That just now was insane.

In Ah...

(Speechless)

Gosh.

If I worked for the UFC,

I'd scout her as a fighter.

Her eyes and style are...

She's really good.

(The other team watched closely as well.)

You're not using any feints, are you?

I might get hit.

Throw in some feints.

The opponent is hitting you low and high.

- I saw it. - Right?

- When she jabs at your abdomen… - She ducked and weaved.

When she jabs at your abdomen, counterattack.

She's going to throw a jab at your abdomen.

- And use some feints. - Okay.

(Round 2 strategy: Use feints and counter when jabbed)

(Round 2 begins.)

Hang in there. Get through Round Two.

(The opponent attacks right away.)

(In Ah counterattacks.)

In Ah's punches are way too strong.

- Yes. - Break!

(Their bodies entangled, the fighters end up in a clinch.)

(Clinch: When locked together, )

(the fighters must break apart on the referee's command)

Break!

That's the kind of fighting we want to see. Nice.

Punch. Yes, that footwork was great.

(The one looking for a chance to attack)

(The one waiting for a chance to counterattack)

Punch.

- That's it. - Yes. Punch.

Easy. Keep watching.

- Punch. That's it. - Okay.

(After overpowering her opponent with a one-two combo, )

(In Ah steps back.)

(In Ah uses her footsteps to move in and out.)

Your in-and-out is on point.

(However, the opponent isn't an easy one.)

- Punch. - Punch. Yes.

- That's it. Well done. Cover up. - Yes.

(Valid strike)

(Valid strike 2)

(Valid strike 3)

(The punches land hard until the final one.)

Again.

(The opponent doesn't give in and throws a high-low combination.)

Hold on!

(The opponent landed valid strikes with incredible concentration.)

(A closely matched fight between the two)

- Good job. - Hang in there.

- Punch. - Yes. Well done.

(Valid strikes landed almost simultaneously.)

Great job. Keep punching.

(Another clinch situation)

- Break! - Again.

I'm going on.

(Captain Kim steps inside just in case.)

Go for it. Hit low.

Hang in there, In Ah!

- Try it again! Come on! - Hang in there!

(The two have met...)

(their match.)

(After a relentless flurry of exchanges, )

(the fighters' footwork gradually slow down.)

(Exhausted, both fighters' guards are down.)

Endure it, In Ah.

Create an opening.

Okay. Here she comes. Keep your eyes on her.

Yes. One more time.

- Keep going. - That's it.

- Punch. Yes, right away. - Nice.

- Endure it! - Throw a hook!

(In Ah's hook lands perfectly.)

Keep watching her, Sun Woo.

(One, two)

(As their arms tangle and her guard drops, )

(the opponent lands a clean left hook.)

(The strong punch...)

(makes In Ah freeze for a moment.)

(She's unable to move and is defenseless.)

(Meanwhile, the opponent keeps pressing the attack.)

(In Ah is left stunned.)

(At that moment)

- In Ah, ten more seconds. - Let's go.

- Hurry up. - Ten seconds.

- Your hands. - Ten seconds.

(An intense hook)

(As soon as she heard "10 seconds,")

(Simba Seol snapped awake.)

(Throwing a flurry of punches after cornering the opponent)

Keep going.

(Round 2 ends.)

Okay, stop.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(The two put on a passionate fight.)

- Well done. - Thank you.

(Boxer In Ah displayed incredible power.)

(The ring is still buzzing with energy.)

(This man was very impressed.)

- Goodness. - Goodness.

- Really. - My gosh.

(Meanwhile, In Ah...)

(catches her breath after giving it her all.)

Well done.

The fight just now deserved UFC bonus money.

(Said by former UFC fighter Kim Dong Hyun)

(The other star of this epic fight)

- Was it tough? - She's strong.

- Good job. - Her punches are strong.

- Did it hurt? - Her straight punches did.

This fight should have happened in the UFC.

You almost knocked me out.

- Unbelievable. - That was...

Gosh, but...

Even before asking how it went,

I must say it was amazing and truly an honor to witness...

a match full of class and powerful punches in our sparring...

and amateur community sports competition.

Also, having watched this match for free...

makes me a winner.

Please give these two fighters a round of applause.

(Another big round of applause to the two fighters)

Really, that was...

The opponent is a very talented fighter.

She's incredible.

So Lim Sun Woo.

You're an expert.

How was it?

First off...

- I was taken aback. - I see.

Her straight punch was so strong...

- it made me dizzy. - Yes, we could tell.

- Her punches pack a lot of power. - I see.

- I always watch my opponent's eyes. - Of course.

Usually, when I throw a punch,

- they blink or retreat. - Right.

But In Ah's eyes would suddenly sharpen,

- Right? I know. - and she'd strike back.

- She was no joke. - I see.

That's it.

(Even against the opponent's heavy punches, )

(In Ah's eyes remained unshaken.)

(She's no joke.)

I'm very competitive myself,

but she's on another level.

- She's extremely competitive. - Right?

She's known as the lion around here.

What the rest of us talked about was...

how Sun Woo must have come well-prepared.

Her footwork and stance...

- are on an expert level. - She's the best.

She must have come intending to showcase all her techniques.

When she took a hit, she tried to hide it,

but we could tell that Sun Woo was shaken.

She needed to attack,

but she hesitated, worried she might get hit again.

Exactly.

(From her eyes...)

(to her footwork...)

Again.

(and technique, )

(Sun Woo came fully armed.)

(But In Ah's full-power punch...)

(made Sun Woo pause for a moment.)

The way In Ah throws her punches is really shrewd.

Her right hand is sharp.

Really.

With a payback-twice mindset, In Ah skipped the footwork.

Once she stepped in, she never backed away.

- It was, "Come at me." - That's true.

Gosh. Seriously.

It was my first time in the ring for a sparring session.

I needed to break the fighters apart in the clinch.

But I got scared I might get hit.

I believe today was a valuable experience.

In real community sports competitions,

- clinches are very common. - Is that so?

Well done.

(In Ah's second full sparring results:)

(Strengths: Knockout-level punching power)

(Intimidating eyes that dominate the opponent)

(Finding her rhythm by moving in and out at will)

(Throwing far more punches than before)

(Points to improve:)

(Guard and stamina decline sharply in the second half)

(Must train proper energy management and conditioning)

You two were amazing.

I'm sad to end this interview.

- It was such an impressive match. - Thank you.

I want to watch it again in a heartbeat.

- We need to fight as well. - Sir, there are...

- more matches left. - Oh, right. My apologies.

- Sorry. - Coach.

- We still have more? - Ju Hyun needs to fight.

Wasn't this the main event?

- There's dessert. - Is there?

- You can't skip dessert. - Right, I absolutely can't.

- It's not over yet. - No.

- We have one more match to go. - What?

There's one match left.

- Get ready for the last match. - Here's the dessert.

The dessert.

Park Ju Hyun and Kim Yu Bin.

- Gosh. - Park Ju, I got my energy from you.

- Show her what you've got. - One at a time.

Go all out.

How do I do that?

Remember what you've learned?

Stay wide awake and put those techniques to use. Got it?

Dodge, punch, hook,

- Turn. - Correct.

The opponent might attack at random.

Keep that in mind. What should you do?

- Two. - Yes, hit and retreat.

- Then, punch, punch. Yes. - One, two.

Throw lots of cross-counters.

Watch her torso.

Stay calm.

- Good? - Yes.

Watch her torso.

(Yu Bin's eyes have changed.)

(She starts warming up.)

That's it. Nice.

When the opponent throws a jab, counter with a hook.

Yes. Moving from low to high works well.

When the opponent jabs, counter cross right away.

Exactly, but move your front foot back as you do it.

Punch. That's it.

Throw a series of punches. Once she's caught, go all in.

- Understood. - Good.

All right, here's the last sparring session.

I'm excited to see how it'll turn out.

Fighters, to the center.

Do your best.

The arena is on fire right now.

Keep that energy going and give it your all. Okay?

- Focus on techniques. Corner. - Okay.

- Good luck, Park Ju Hyun. - Good luck, Park Ju Hyun.

- You can do it, Ju Hyun. - Park Ju.

Okay?

Box!

- Go for it! - Good luck!

Okay.

- Nice. - That was insane.

(The opponent strikes with unstoppable force.)

- She's good. - Well done.

(Valid strike 1, Valid strike 2)

(Valid strike 3, Valid strike 4)

(Valid strike 5)

(A barrage of punches)

- Use your stamina. - Hit more.

- Turn. - Turn.

- Turn. That's it. - Good job.

- Turn. That's it. - Good job.

(She pivots using her footwork.)

Turn. That's it.

Yes. Focus when you launch the first attack.

(The opponent charges in once again.)

Just like that.

(The opponent's movement was big.)

(Ju Hyun sees an opening...)

(and lands a precise jab.)

- That's it. - That was nice.

- Yes, again! - Ju Hyun!

- Yes, again! - Good job, Park Ju Hyun!

Nice one.

She attacked well. Nice, Ju Hyun.

- Yes. - Yes.

(She waits for the timing, then jabs.)

(Even when the opponent attacks)

I knew you'd do great.

Ju Hyun, have faith in your stamina.

It's natural to take a hit.

Turn. Just like that.

(Valid strike)

(Refusing to retreat, she fires a straight.)

(After blocking, )

(she immediately lands a jab.)

(The calmer the mad boxer, the scarier she is.)

You're good at jabbing and then retreating.

(The match continues.)

- Two. Try a two. - Yes.

(She jabs...)

(and then falls back.)

(Ju Hyun is displaying remarkable focus.)

The opponent is getting tired. Go for it.

- Go for it when she's tired. Yes. - That's it.

(A straight through the opponent's guard)

(Dodging)

Nice. Again.

Here she comes. Dodge.

- Yes. - Nice one.

Hit again.

- Dodge and punch. That's it. - Nice.

(Gwang Bok cuts through sharply.)

Great. Well done. Again.

Gosh. Here we go again.

(Captain Kim is impressed again.)

- Here she comes. Punch. That's it. - Yes.

Good.

- Punch. Just like that. - You have to go in.

- Turn. Go in again. - That's it.

- Good. - Go for it.

- Hang in there. - Yes.

(Ju Hyun's counter leaves her opponent dazed.)

Yes. Good job.

Nice, Park Ju Hyun!

- Just like that. - Hang in there.

(Ju Hyun's powerful straight punch)

You can see the stamina gap.

- Good. - You're doing good.

Gosh. Nice.

- That's it. - Good one, Park Ju Hyun.

- Nice. Use some feints. - She's getting tired.

- Nice. - Yes.

(After landing an accurate jab, )

(she dodges.)

- Yes. - Keep going.

Well done.

That's it. Nice.

Ten more seconds.

Ju Hyun, keep watching her.

Punch.

In and out.

- Focus. Hook. - Hit her. That's it.

Stop. Well done.

- You're good. - Great job.

(Ju Hyun walks in with an intense look.)

- Hang in there. - Well done.

Endure it, Ju Hyun. Okay?

- You're amazing, Park Ju Hyun. - That was crazy.

You did well. All your jabs are landing, right?

You feel it too, don't you?

Your opponent's movements are way too big.

- You have... - Are mine wide too?

No, they're not, which is why it's even better.

Got it? When she moves in, jab and punch. Sounds good?

(Stay calm and deliver precise jabs and punches.)

- Stay calm. It's okay. - Stay calm, okay?

- Your right swings are too big. - Your hooks...

- are way too big. - It's too big.

Your hooks are perfectly timed whenever the opponent jabs.

But your movement is too big, and it misses her.

Make the hooks shorter.

- Ju Hyun, you're doing great. - Well done.

- This is the main event. - Yes, this is the main event.

- This is the main event. - Ju Hyun, punch.

All right, Ju Hyun. The main event.

- Go. - Go for it.

- Keep moving. - Dodge.

(The opponent takes the first move and attacks.)

Focus.

(As planned, the opponent moves in aggressively.)

(Against the opponent digging low)

Nice.

- Hang in there. - That's it.

- Yes, just like that. Nice. - Endure it.

Good.

- Good. - Nice.

- Well done. - Yes.

Your strikes are too big. Keep them tight.

- Endure it. - Nice. Watch her closely.

(Exchanging heavy punches)

- Keep watching her. Good. - Nice, Ju Hyun.

An immediate straight.

What do you do when she attacks? Punch.

- Endure it. - Punch.

You've got to punch when that happens.

(The opponent's hook)

(A strong right hook, )

(followed by a left hook)

(Ju Hyun counters with a hook.)

- That's it. - Yes, keep going.

(Park Ju Hyun, the Iron Girls' tough fighter)

(The opponent is as tough as her.)

(An intense war of nerves between two tough fighters)

Nice one.

Yes.

- Turn. - Don't do that.

- Well done. - Watch your abdomen.

It's okay. Try again.

That's it. Well done.

Another jab.

(Straight)

(She dodges right away.)

That was great just now. Again.

You're doing really well.

Watch her closely as you jab. She's coming. Jab.

Attack her. Again.

Here she comes. That's it.

(Landing 2 jabs without hesitation)

Turn. Exactly. Good job.

- Move in. Try it. - She's got amazing spirit.

- She's calm and fighting well. - Well done.

- She watches, then strikes. - Punch, pivot.

Keep going.

(Ju Hyun never takes her eyes off her opponent.)

- Move in again. That's it. - Attack.

She's worn out.

- Move in. - Attack her.

- You can do it, Ju Hyun. - Try again.

- That's it. - Yes.

More. This is your chance.

- Try again. - She's tired.

- Do your thing, Ju Hyun. - Push her into a corner.

Okay. Again. Corner her.

(Ju Hyun seems tired as well.)

(She must maintain her focus.)

(Here goes Park Gwang Bok.)

(Jab)

(Dodge)

(Another jab)

(Dodging again)

Well done. That's it.

(Ju Hyun's jabs are perfectly accurate.)

Try again.

(She even lands a low attack.)

- One last time. The last one. - Well done, Park Ju Hyun.

(One last time?)

The last one.

Good. Well done.

(Round 2 ends with Ju Hyun's jab.)

You did an amazing job.

(The ring is buzzing even hotter.)

Well done.

- Great work. - Gosh.

- Good job. - Park Ju.

- She was amazing. - You were awesome.

- Why are you so good? - That was the main event.

We had a double main event today.

(The most excited member)

(The last match was like a surprise gift.)

A round of applause, please.

- You fought really well. - She was really good.

(Yu Bin gave it her all.)

(Her legs give out the moment the match ends.)

Give her some water.

(She fought until the end, even when exhausted.)

Right now...

Well...

Yu Bin looks completely worn out.

But still,

compared to how long she has trained...

- Are you okay? - Yes.

How was the sparring session?

She did way better than I expected.

- She's also got good stamina. - Right.

Her spirit is impressive.

"Her spirit?"

She threw many punches.

She landed many punches.

It wasn't easy to close the distance.

It was tough.

But still, Yu Bin attacked...

with a fierce spirit from the very beginning.

As I have a small figure,

I tried to move in low...

- and throw in some hooks. - I see.

I took multiple hits when approaching low.

That really surprised me.

I thought getting hit would throw her off,

but it didn't.

She may not be as skilled, but she's got the spirit.

Her spirit is at a pro-level.

(During the supervised sparring, )

(Ju Hyun couldn't keep her eyes on the opponent's punches.)

(The mad boxer was afraid of punches.)

Keep watching.

- That's it. - You're doing great.

(Now, even when punches come right at her face, )

(she maintains a poker face.)

(Even after a series of punches, )

(unfazed, she doesn't blink...)

(and dominates her opponent.)

She said I threw many punches,

but I felt like she landed more than I did.

She kept coming at me and had serious guts.

In terms of the number of punches, Yu Bin threw more.

Ju Hyun kept her calm throughout the rounds.

- Yes. - Exactly.

She kept her composure, watched until the end,

countered whenever attacked,

- and threw jabs. - That was unbelievable.

- You were really good at it. - Yes.

I felt a thrill for a moment.

I dodged her punch...

when it was this close.

- Did you see it? - Yes.

At that moment, I was impressed with myself.

- "Gosh. I didn't get hit." - The star of the match.

I experienced that feeling just one time.

That's right.

(Ju Hyun quickly evaded the punch coming straight for her face.)

(Impressed)

(Actually, even after the one time Ju Hyun remembers, )

(she dodged several more punches like in a movie.)

Gosh, that felt good.

- It... - That felt amazing.

You should always remember that feeling.

- Remember it. - It felt great.

Boxers can actually hear...

their opponent's punches coming,

which feels like slow motion and gives them a thrill.

I felt the thrill at that moment.

Yes, well done.

- You stayed calm. - I agree.

(Ju Hyun's second full sparring results:)

(Strengths: Has grown into a composed boxer...)

(who watches and dodges her opponent's punches)

(Strikes with jabs, retreats, and even lands effective hits)

(Points to improve:)

(Must work on combinations beyond jabs)

(Must practice various attack routes through repeated routine training)

(Footwork when retreating from attacks is still awkward.)

(Must practice retreating quickly and smoothly)

First off, I must apologize.

I made a slip of the tongue,

calling it a dessert round after the main event.

- Apologize. - Yes, I apologize.

- Really. - It was the main dish.

It was a double main event.

Thank you to the two boxers for giving us...

such an amazing match for free.

- Well done, Park Ju. - Seriously.

- Yes, for real. - Good job.

You were really cool.

Great work.

- Thank you. Great work today. - Get some rest.

(All 8 boxers were stars in today's ring.)

- Great work. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- You were amazing. - Really?

It's time to replay the matches.

(After the second full sparring, )

(the Iron Girls have gathered.)

What's that?

Lemon juice.

Lemon juice is trending right now.

You can drink lemon juice on an empty stomach these days.

- It won't hurt your stomach. - It's good.

- Would you like one? - It's refreshing.

(Everyone shares the delicious and healthy drink.)

- Oh, my. - It's good, right?

- That just now was cute. - "Oh, my."

(What's next on the schedule?)

- It's finally time for a review. - Yes.

(Sparring strategic analysis)

(Closely reviewing the match footage...)

(to objectively assess one's own play...)

(and refine strategies)

You've had your second full sparring session.

You may not fully remember your match.

- True. - So far.

Not being able to remember it is amusing.

That's natural, but you must review it.

- Only then will you get better. - Understood.

It's hard to watch your own match.

I know that very well.

I find it difficult to watch my own matches too.

It's like rubbing salt into the wound.

- So true. - I understand that feeling.

But wouldn't rubbing salt into the wound...

make it worse and harder to recover?

Rubbing salt into the wound is...

What I mean is that it hurts like rubbing salt into the wound.

- Right. - Watching your match.

How about disinfectant instead of salt?

Spraying disinfectant on a wound hurts at the moment,

but it helps it heal faster.

(I'm the original Mentality Kim.)

It's going to be...

- an important session. - Let's do this.

- Yes. - Yes.

Let's watch Keum Sae Rok's match first.

- Sae Rok is about to fight. - She's getting ready.

Back then, I never expected her to be that good.

- True. - Look at her retreat.

- I got hit right away. - Almost immediately.

(Sae Rok attacked with a one-two combo.)

Okay. Sae Rok got hit, right?

After her one-two.

(Sae Rok was immediately countered.)

Was her movement too big?

Correct. That was the reason.

She put too much weight on her front foot,

causing her punch to be too big.

That's why she couldn't block the counter.

(A big movement)

(Sae Rok loses her balance and is pushed backward.)

(How are Sae Rok's other straight punches?)

Look. Her back foot comes off the ground...

as she punches.

(Her weight is on her front foot.)

(She loses her balance again.)

Sae Rok should watch for these things,

realize when she was nervous,

and work on improving them. Got it?

In terms of quality, Sae Rok's punches were much better.

Your footwork was weak, but your punches were excellent.

You've got good form. Your guard is up too.

You found that rhythm in order to land a good punch.

You have your guard up. Nice.

Good feints.

(The real jab)

- Rocky Keum. - But I couldn't reach her.

I threw a feint, but it didn't reach her.

(I'm also frustrated.)

(What's wrong with me?)

(After feinting, she went for a one-two combo.)

She was too far away.

They seem too far apart.

Left-handers naturally keep their distance.

The distance is even wider because she used to do taekwondo.

She dodges really swiftly.

I can relate since I'm left-handed,

especially with footwork.

There's always some distance,

but it's greater between a left-hander and a right-hander.

It's hard to reach the opponent.

You just have to barge in and fight.

Against an opponent like her, you just have to move in...

and block her from punching and dodging.

(Southpaw: a left-handed fighter, Orthodox: a right-handed fighter)

You fought against a difficult opponent.

And yet, you did well, staying calm and watching her until the end.

Instinctively, Sae Rok adjusted...

to the distance in Round Two.

- Did I? - Let's watch.

(She kept moving around and tried to launch attacks.)

Well done. That was a good strike.

(Feint 1, 2, 3)

Did you see that?

That was praiseworthy.

- Indeed. - Do you know why?

You stayed focused, looking for an opening to strike.

The distance was too wide,

so you used feints to create a chance to hit.

Those moves were great.

To add to the coach's compliments,

the opponent was trying to counterattack,

but because Sae Rok kept striking, the opponent couldn't move in.

- That's why a flurry is important. - I see.

(After getting used to the distance, Sae Rok...)

(chased after her, launching a fierce attack.)

Those moves were good.

The repeated strikes flustered the opponent.

The flurry made her panic. That's what you should aim for.

Look at how she continues to strike.

- The opponent... - She's taken aback.

- panics. - She does.

Exactly. You get it, right?

Then I should...

practice the footwork and backsteps that...

the opponent is good at.

That'd be great.

With that, you'll be a tough opponent.

Let's take in everything that will make us stronger.

- Exactly. - Okay.

- Yes, sir. Thank you. - Good.

Well done.

- Well done. - Okay.

Let's check out the next one.

Uie.

- Uie. - Her stamina is insane.

You did what you wanted from the start.

(Jab, one, two)

One, two.

Can you feel that your one-two improved a lot?

- Seriously. - The one-two.

- I don't know. - Don't you know?

- Watch. - From the start...

(Uie)

(During the first full sparring that took place last time, )

(her punches either missed the target...)

(or were too weak.)

(How was she today?)

(She threw the one-two at the right timing.)

(Valid strike 1)

That was so fast.

The opponent kept taking jabs. Can you see that?

The red headgear kept going up.

Yes. She kept taking jabs.

(Uie has grown into someone with the strong one-two.)

- She's strong. - As you can see,

you kept following your opponent.

You kept following her.

- There's no need to do that. - I should make her come to me.

(Uie)

(She followed her opponent around in order to attack.)

Uie, you got close to the opponent.

I don't want you to think,

- "Should I not do that?" - Okay.

It's good to get close to the opponent,

but you need to move back quickly after landing a blow.

- I want you to do that. - It'll be cool.

- So I shouldn't keep my distance. - That's right.

This boxer's punches were too big.

You'll know from the video.

Her movements were too big.

But had they been a bit smaller,

- you could've gotten hit. - I could've gotten hit.

In that case,

you need to defend yourselves...

- while maintaining your style. - Okay.

- That's why I'm telling you this. - Okay.

(Uie continued to follow her around in Round 2.)

See? You took a blow just now. That was what I meant.

That could happen.

You could've won by sticking to Routine One.

One, two, backstep, one, two.

That's right.

Uie, you were a difficult opponent for this boxer.

- That's right. - Of course. She's very tall.

Yes. You were a very difficult opponent.

(The opponent threw punches that were high and big.)

(The more Uie moved back, the more the punches fell short.)

There you go.

(The opponent was flustered by the punches that fell short.)

She was flustered again.

You don't need to move closer in such situations.

- I see. Seriously, I should wait. - Yes.

Move back and forth.

- I don't need to waste energy. - That's right.

That's what I'm talking about.

You need to create a distance that'll bring the opponent's attack.

But that doesn't mean...

you should be close enough to take the opponent's punch.

- Okay. - Move back and forth,

so that you can dodge the opponent's punches.

Then it'll be very difficult for the opponent.

The only attacks of yours that landed were jabs and one-twos.

- That's right. - Yes.

- But... - Still, she couldn't come closer.

- That's right. - Okay. I'll practice harder.

- "Rule the world through jabs." - That's right.

- You remember that, right? - Yes. Rule the world through jabs.

Uie will be that person.

Yes. You see why jabs are important, right?

- Yes. - Your jabs landed today.

- I'll show you. - Okay.

- Okay. - She doesn't disappoint.

Let's move on to the next strategic analysis.

I'm sure it's your first time seeing it.

Didn't I ask for popcorn?

(In Ah)

She was cool from that moment.

- She's practically flying. - In Ah took a body blow.

I don't feel anything from a blow to the stomach.

She's unfazed. Punch.

You did an amazing job just now.

You seized the timing.

You read the timing instinctively.

When the opponent attacked, In Ah took it.

That fight continued on.

And both fighters had their own rhythms.

- That's right. - Yes.

- You can see that, right? - Yes.

- Right now. - The opponent is so fast.

The opponent moved in, but... Then In Ah moved in.

How did In Ah move in?

- She used footwork. - Yes.

That deserves a compliment.

Whether or not you attacked,

you kept the opponent at a certain distance.

Also, I stopped the video to praise something In Ah did.

Punch, turn, punch.

(Pivot, one, two)

Did you see that? She threw a punch right after turning around.

It might look like nothing,

but this is what we've talked about nonstop.

It's fun.

It was your match. You did it.

While you did much better than I expected...

(Was there a problem?)

Toward the end,

you lost momentum.

You'll be able to see that.

She stopped here.

- Strangely, she stood motionless. - Watch.

- Her stamina ran out. - I took a heavy blow.

That's right. I wondered why In Ah did that.

(Her guard was completely down.)

If you hadn't allowed the last blow, it would've been perfect.

A lion falls asleep at times.

- In Ah always do that. - Yes.

She did that last time. Even during the first sparring,

she suddenly went...

She has those moments.

(During the first full sparring, In Ah suddenly stopped.)

(She was knocked down in the end.)

It could be a sudden drop in stamina...

or spirits.

- I don't think it was my stamina. - That's right.

- I think I lost my spirits. - It's like falling asleep.

- When I take too many punches... - It happens so suddenly.

Toward the end, I took about four punches.

- Then I heard a ring. - She became furious.

I heard the alarm and raised my guard again.

(Alarm)

(Simba Seol was awakened in the last 10 seconds.)

(She wakes up and pours out the attacks.)

It was a painful experience.

- "Had I done this," - I was lacking.

- "I could've hit her." - That's right.

- You need that regret. - I totally have it.

If you have such regrets, it means that you've improved.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Next is... - Gosh.

- We have... - Another main event remains.

- the main dessert. - The double main event.

She did really well.

The main dessert, Ju Hyun.

Let's watch Ju Hyun's match.

(Ju Hyun's strategic analysis starts.)

It was so much fun.

The opponent was very aggressive.

She moved in aggressively.

I was flustered at first.

I bet you were flustered. She moved in right away.

If you watch the video,

Ju Hyun dodges the attacks languidly.

Since she was too close, I had to turn.

You turned and retreated instinctively.

Look at that. She moved back.

Did you see that just now?

It's a technique you see from a skilled boxer.

They can punch and step back.

- She did that. - Is there a boxer in my family?

What was that?

When the opponent approached her with rock,

she responded with jazz.

I'm a woman of jazz.

She did it languidly.

(The opponent's style was rock.)

(Ju Hyun's style was jazz.)

(The musician in the boxing scene., )

(the jazz boxer, Park Ju Hyun)

This is what you need to notice from Ju Hyun's match.

- She didn't punch hard. - That's right.

- That's right. - Really?

- Punch, hit, punch. - She kept going...

(Punch, backstep)

She punched and stepped back.

She kept doing that.

Her movements were kept small, right?

Since her movements were small, she received a chance.

But the opponent's movements were big.

"I'll beat her!" That was why her movements were big.

Ju Hyun expected it.

Her movements were big.

- You noticed that quickly... - That's right.

And adjusted your movements. That's why I'm praising you.

The opponent received big damage. Do you know why?

- She took the hits while moving in. - The timing. That's right.

- Timing is very important. - That's right.

(A precise jab)

(Staggering)

(Thanks to the perfect timing, )

(she gave her opponent a big damage without using much strength.)

In terms of a punch, 70 percent is up to the strength,

and 30 percent is up to the timing.

Together, they make 100 percent.

- Well done. - I really felt it today.

If my movements are big, my punches won't reach the target.

Each opponent...

had prepared for the competition.

They did incredibly well.

You guys went against the opponents who had boxed for 1 to 3 years...

by putting on the gloves...

and punching them in the face in the ring.

- It's incredibly hard to do. - That's right.

In any case, you guys did well.

- The next training... - Okay.

Will involve a special place and a special person.

Will it be training?

It'll be a play.

- It'll be a fun play. - Forget about a play!

But you'll run out of breath.

In any case, you guys did well today.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(What's the play that'll make them run out of breath?)

- We've improved so much. - Thank you.

Thank you for your hard work.

(What's the place that makes Iron Girls exclaim?)

(Iron Girls in Phuket)

(We're here to play.)

(Will we finally get a vacation?)

(Let's move!)

(Let's set off to enjoy the vacation.)

(Run over here fast!)

(They become flustered.)

(I'm the head coach of the Pirate Camp.)

("Pirate Camp?")

(Pirates who are crazy about exercising)

(Mixed strength training)

(What's this?)

(Training of the legendary level of difficulty)

(Because of the scary head coach, )

(Iron Girls get knocked out.)

(In the Pirate Camp, will they be able to return home?)

(The first competition is just 10 days away.)

(Full sparring sessions...)

(with foreign athletes)

(It's their final practice run before the first match.)

(Ireland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Thailand)

(They will be facing athletes from 4 different countries...)

(as representatives of Korea.)

(Even after blow...)

(upon blow, )

(the mysterious foreign athletes...)

(respond with wild intensity.)

Box!

(Which country will come out on top?)
