Fighting Moves Back Kick- Explosive surorise move to catch opponet from behind. Judge the opponet's distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws. Belly Rake- A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheated claws across soft flesh of opponet's belly. If your're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control. Front Paw Blow-Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponet's head. Claws sheated. Front Paw Strike- Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponet. Claws unsheathed. Killing Bite- A death blow to the back of th eneck. Quick and silent snd sometimes considered dishonourable. Used only as a last restort. Leap-And-Hold- Ideal for a smal cat facing a large opponet. Spring onto your opponet's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of your opponet's paws and in position to inflict severe 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 you get squashed. Partner Fighting- Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defense postion, each protecting the other's back while fending off an opponet 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 you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponet relaxes his grip, thinking you are deafeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponet and put you in an attacking position. Scruff Shake- Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponet's neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them. Teeth Grip- Target your opponet's extremities---the legs, tail, scruff, or ears---and sink your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight. Upright Lock- Final, crushing move on already weakened opponet. Rear up on back legs and bring full weight down on opponet. If opponet does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulernable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed. |
