No gloves is a risk, and he knows that Tseng knows this and is likely to exploit the choice at some point down the line, but at the moment he lets the anxiety of what that might be get shoved out of the forefront of his mind so he can focus completely.
Rude watches the instruction and only needs to see it once to have the drill down, but watches the second repetition example to humor Tseng.
The first go-round Rude hits his mark perfectly, taking his time to ensure his form is right and his body is comfortable with it before he picks up the speed. He's working the way he normally would at whatever altitude Midgar and Edge were at, not accounting for the lack of oxygen supply here simply as an experiment. He wants to see the effect it has on him if he doesn't do anything to try to mitigate it. This is the control.
As he repeats the movements over and over again, his body falls into a rhythm and it feels like a dance. Rude loses himself in that 5-move combo and doesn't notice when he starts to get light headed again. The final uppercut of the set lands, but catches Tseng in the jaw before he realizes what he's done.
