Fighting Techniques
One of the most important skills a mentor must teach an apprentice is how to fight. Warriors are often called upon to defend the borders or protect the Clan from attack, whether by enemy Clans or predators like badgers and foxes. Even medicine cats must learn enough fighting technique to be useful in battle.
Back Kick- Explosive surprise move to catch the opponent from behind. Jude opponent’s distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking you weight on your front paws.
Belly Rake- A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponent’s belly. If you’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 opponent’s head. Claws sheathed.
Front Paw Strike- Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the body or 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 your opponent’s back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of your 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 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 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 you opponent relaxes his grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in an attacking position.
Scruff Shake- Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent’s neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattles 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 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 an already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring down full weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it requires great strength and speed.
