Battle Moves

Back kick
Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponents 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 unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponents 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 as dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.

Leap-and-hold
Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponents 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 out for the drop-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before you get squashed.

Drop-and-roll
Countermove against leap-and-hold. You fall to the ground and quickly roll over before your enemy can react.

Partner fighting
Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instictively 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 ofdanger 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 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 rattled to fight back. Most effective agaisnt rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.

Teeth grip
Target your opponent's extremitites-the legs, tail, scruff, or ears-and sink your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold execpt your claws remain free to fight.

Upright lock
Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring full weight down on opponent. If opponent does smae, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires strength and speed.
