(Peachy, can we just say Winterpelt and Snailpaw are training...? 'Cause whenever i'm on, you're off, and vice versa. At this rate, Snailpaw will never be trained. ;o; )

Antlerclaw led his apprentice towards the rocky location of training stones. Once they entered, he seated himself down facing Arrowpaw and flicked his ear.
"Go over what we've already covered. You may perform them on me if you'd like so I can monitor your progress."

Beetleclaw began to relax, feeling the irritation die away. Now he could relax.
"Thanks." Hearing commotion, he glared outside the elders' den and dipped his head as Windtail went over to investigate. The black tom then yawned and curled up in his nest, falling asleep.

Arrowpaw nodded at what Antlerclaw said, then back up a little. She got into a battle stance, She narrowed her eyes, which were locked on Antlerclaws left paw. She acted like she was going for the left paw, and lunged, but at the last second, turned, hoping to land on Antlerclaw's right side, so she could bowl him over.

Antlerclaw made to defend his left, but stared as she went to his right, knocking him off his feet. However, he took advantage of this by slipping a sheathed paw beneath her belly and gripping into her fur. But he quickly released and stood again.
"Excellent tactic. Don't forget to time it perfectly. If you take too long, your opponent may catch on to your technique. Also, look out for what i did. Try and turn yourself away to keep your belly safe, or it'll get clawed." He sat and let his ruffled fur lay flat. "Now try and perform the duck and twist. Then we will apply it in battle."

Arrowpaw nodded, then crouched. She waited for Antlerclaw to try and strike, so that way she could perform the move. She had her eyes locked on him, and her ears were lay flat, just in case he nicked them.

[Nebelung]

Antlerclaw narrowed his gaze and performed a simple front paw blow, aimed for her ear. Even if he did strike it, it would only be a light graze by a sheathed paw. He didn't believe in using claws in training unless completely necessary.

Arrowpaw quickly ducked, rolling onto her back. She jumped back up, using the force from her jump to do a powerful swipe with her paw, which was sheathed.

[Nebelung]

Some air was knocked from him as he tried to duck away from her blow himself. But being much taller than her, it wasn't too easy and he was forced to deflate his lungs, which he now worked to fill with air again.
"Good job!" He shook his head before looking down in thought, trying to think of what else to train her. The only thing that came to mind was quite difficult, and even he still struggled with it. But she may be ready. He'd have to quiz her. "Stand between me and that large stone there. Now imagine i have you cornered against a wall. What move would you perform to get the upperhand of the battle?"

Arrowpaw
She thought about the moves she had learned, and remembered one of the senior warriors talking about it. " you would do the... Jump and pin, right?" She looked at her mentor, still a bit unsure. She had heard of cats getting really hurt from doing the move, but she also heard that if you did it correctly, that it'd be worth it.

"Excellent. Then you are aware of what you will be needing to do? I would rather you practiced with a tree first. So your paws can get a feel of this awkward move. Then we'll work you up to a stone, then vertical surface. Of course, not all in one day. After this, we'll practice a few self-defense moves. Now, come this way." He led his apprentice towards a tree near the training stones, making sure it was straight enough, but not too straight to practice on. He moved away and got himself into position, before attempting to perform it himself. He turned, his back turned to it, then crouched down and leaped backwards, his claws hooking within the tree's bark just a moment, allowing himself enough time to position his pounce just right, and he sprung, landing beside Arrowpaw. He turned towards her, his fur ruffled once more. "And look out so you don't pull your claws or sprain your ankles. Position them like this, "which he demonstrated with his hindleg, "and try to remember this, even during the heat of battle. Sore ankles pose as a very easy target for your opponent."
