Battle Moves
Back kick- Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.
Belly Rake - A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of an opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into 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 face or body of your opponent.
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 larger opponent. Spring onto opponents back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent'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 counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
Partner fighting- Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a 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 you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.
Scruff shake- Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.
Teeth grip- Target your opponent's extremities-the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in 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 opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.
Avalanche - A quick move requiring skill, and muscle. Throwing your opponent up into the air, jumping up with them and grabbing them. You land, full weight on there neck or head crushing either. Its a move used only as a last decision for its brutality and the fact that it kills.
Chest rip- A move when you are on the opponents back. Rip your claws against their throat, chest or stomach, making the warrior stunned for a moment
Feint- A move where you attack at one side, but quickly change direction and strike on the other side.
