To take revenge on his earlier defeat against Michela, Renato chooses to fall back on his own martial arts skills and invites the Italian lady to a rematch sparring-style. Michela is undaunted; she puts on her gi even though her belt colour indicates a lower rank. At the beginning Renato seems to have the upper hand, but Michela is smart enough to divert the battle into a territory she's more familiar with. Taken down by her arrogant rival, she turns the battle into ground fighting. Gloating over his initial show, Renato takes the bait; he seems to have forgotten the lessons from their earlier encounter and also his own stipulation that the loser has to be subject to a humiliating punishment.
