the motion
It's... awkward. Why is it only 5 frames a second? You're right, it makes it WICKED choppy.
Her first hit is all wrong. There's no anticipation, no follow through. Her arm cocks at a weird angle before the next punch.
The second hit is a little bit better, but she needs to really get her whole body into it. She's entirely too stationary through the brief movements; it makes her look like a mechanical doll.
Also, he doesn't really look like he gets hit either time except for the stars. His fall is entirely too vertical and doesn't actually flow with the punch that she just gave him.
Good secondary action with her hair. Her left arm shouldn't straighten all the way out in her victory pose. It's jerky and distracting.
All in all, this is some good artwork, but I don't think you have any training with animation itself. Again, this animation just lacks life and energy.
If you want to animate anything, I recommend this book. It's absolutely amazing and goes over all the basics of animation that apply equally to 2d and 3d.
