Hello dear heart.
If I might be so bold as to provide some creative criticism and critique to this piece, I would suggest looking towards more dynamic posing. The figures, while caught at mid-extension and moderately posed (no hyperextensions, no extremes of positioning, etc.) are technically quite correct. However, the moderate posing loses some of the energy and dynamism that the fight clearly looks like it should have. I would suggest instead to use poses where the combatants are instead at the end-points of their motion. For example, instead of catching a punch mid-swing, catch it when the person throwing it is at full extension. This gives the appearance of great energy being used in the pose, and makes a block look more like it took the brunt of something fairly extreme.
While the style might not fit your work, the tips on figure dynamism provided in the now near-ancient book "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way" (likely still in print or findable in a library) provides an excellent view as to this. As well, while I cannot personally verify this, the How To Draw Manga series likely also has some such guide as well.
Your work is in and of itself QUITE good, and I appreciate you being willing to share it. Please do not take my critique in any ill manner, as it is in no way meant as such.
Yours,
Mika Kyubi
