Could you make the following fictional story more exciting by adding some martial arts maneuvers  to it: They both dropped into fighting stances and began circling each other, sizing each other up. NAME_1 was the first to make a move, lunging forward with a sharp kick that NAME_2 easily dodged. NAME_2 countered with a roundhouse kick that NAME_1 barely managed to block.

The two women seemed evenly matched, and the fight quickly turned intense. They exchanged blows and grapples, each determined to come out on top. NAME_1 was impressed by NAME_2's speed and agility, while NAME_2 admired NAME_1's strength and technique.

As the fight raged on, the two women began to tire. They both knew that this was a fight to the finish, and neither was willing to back down. Finally, after what seemed like hours, NAME_1 managed to land a powerful punch that sent NAME_2 crashing to the ground.
 The response should be in all capital letters.
