Ever since Felix and Korra first started sparring together, he told her never to go easy on him, and she doesn't. He appreciates that. He wants her to use her bending, because in a real fight, his enemies won't hesitate to do the same. And since she can bend every element, he can train against every element, which is a hell of a plus.
Particularly since he's not a bender at all.
But he has a sword, and that's plenty for him. Since he never had to spend time learning to control any sort of bending powers, he was free to devote all his time to his swordplay, and it shows.
Those aren't the only reasons he likes sparring with Korra, of course. In some ways, they're kindred spirits - both competitive, both better with actions than words, both always ready to defend the innocent. But there's one other reason, one he doesn't like to admit aloud, and that's that she's ridiculously attractive.
...enough of that, he thinks, not wanting to get distracted. He finishes up his stretches and steps into a ready stance, sword poised and waiting. He gives her a smirk.
