Leaftremble was happy to see that the appentice could remove the splinter herself."Alright, let's get back to training. We're going to use the front-paw blow in this next move, but it might be a bit more complicated. I don't expect you to get it down on the first try. It's much easier to do in an actual battle situation, so we can do mock-battles, if you guys want to. It's really a combination of two different moves. It's an offensive move that you would use to get your opponent to run away. Remember, you never fight to kill, you fight to defend. Unless it's a badger of dog or something like that." Leaftremble was careful to not say fox, knowing that might not be good for Rainpaw. "So, watch me carefully. I'm going to pretend this rock is my opponent." She assumed her battle stance, then waggled her haunches, eyes fixed on the rock. She sprung up, claws un-sheathed. She gripped the rock, then began to strike the rock with a sheathed paw. "Remember, that you're opponent will react to this, so they will likely try to shake you off. When they do, you need to make a decision. Do you jump off so you can use other moves, do you continue to strike them in the head or shoulders, or do you try to flip them over? There are many different options that this move opens up. When you do strike them, they will usually be a bit stunned or dazed. You have to sneak up on an opponent if you want to carry out this move. It's great for helping a clan-mate who is overwhelmed with attackers. So, what we are going to do is work on offense and defense. We'll pair up, and you will all take turns being the attacker and the attacked. It isn't about who wins or loses, it's about refining your technique and practicing what you will do when you have to make split-second decisions."
