Back Kick
Explosive surprise mover to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from tu carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.
Belly Rake
A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponen's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts tu back in control.
Front Paw Blow
Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.
Front Paw Strike
Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body o face of your opponent. Claws unsheathed.
Killing Bite
A death blow to the back of the neck. quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.
Leap-and-Hold
Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now tu are beyond the range of your opponent's paws and in position to inflict sever body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before tu get squashed.
Partner Fighting
Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a pared defensive position, each protecting the other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.
Play Dead
Effective in a tight situation, such as when tu are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip, thinking tu are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off and unwary opponent and put tu in an attacking position.
Scruff Shake
Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent's neck; then shake violently until he o she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun o kill them.
Teeth grip
Target your opponent's extremities--the legs, tail scruff, o ears--and sink in your teeth and hold. This mover is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.
Upright Lock
Final, crushing mover on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring full weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This mover makes tu vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed.
