The connection is brutal. Kylo's arm meets Ronan's block with enough force to make it very clear just how fortunate it is that the heavy blow doesn't crash into Ronan's jaw.
But Ronan isn't the only one impressed. While the wiser move might have been to twist under the whirling strike and deliver a response while Kylo's body carried the momentum through, Ronan's technique has enough of a glancing effect to earn him a solid blow that Kylo has no time to avoid. He hisses the pain out between his teeth and advances again, this time expending himself in the effort to push forward into Ronan's body and drive him back.
