The guy fights like he is scratching someone. The girl does the same thing as the boy but with her eyes closed. The last action is throwing something. They show one of the teenage girls and the young boy for this action. The teenage girl throws without even trying and the young boy pretends he drops it before throwing. Then the producer tells the second group but this time its four young girls. The girls also have to run, throw and hit like a girl. The girls show the opposite when they do it. They run as fast as they can. They show they can fight like a warrior. When they show how a girl throws they throw like an olympist would.
