Not Surprised. Just Disappointed.

Man, it doesn’t look like anyone’s having a good time here.

Not sure I’m following the flow here.
You’re definitely not alone.
I’ll be revisiting this one. Hopefully soon.
It’s all over the place.

Rei’s Mad-Eye Moody eyeball in panel 1 is scary to me. Killer instinct kicking in? Entering automaton warrior mode?
It’s like she’s seeing, but not seeing, in panel 2.
Remind me (again) not to make Rei mad.
I think the reply bug hit this response, responding to @wessodog.
I agree with you on Rei’s eye expressions. Panel 1 looks like Rei’s waking back up after hitting the wall. Panel 2 looks like she’s just reacting and not really mindfully participating, and the facegrab on Xiu Mei seems to back up that impression.
This looks more like military-style anything-goes-martial-arts (no, not that) than forms-based stylistic martial arts. Maybe that’s why Cheng looks like his dinner is disagreeing with him.
Maybe Rei just recently got some instruction in Krav Maga?
@All-Purpose Guru OIC, I hadn’t thought of the wall, although the previous strip appeared to show both combatants solidly within the bounds of the mat. I assumed Rei was blocking Xiu Me’s foot? Or maybe the blow landed and threw Rei back into the wall. Maybe tomorrow’s installment will clarify things.
