       --------------------------------------------------
       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 opponent from behind. Judge
       opponent's distance from you carefully; then lash out with your
       back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.
       Belly rake
       A fight-stopper. Slive 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 (see Warrior Code). Used only
       as a last resort.
       Leap-and-hold
       Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto
       opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are
       beyong 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. It was deployed to
       great effect against BloodClan's deputy, Bone. 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 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 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 already weakened opponent. Rear up on
       back legs and bring full weight down on opponent. If opponent
       does same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you
       vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and
       speed.

       --------------------------------------------------
       Leap-and-cover
       Ideal for making your opponent feel much pain, leap onto your
       opponent's back and put your paws over their eyes. For the
       moment the opponent is blinded, sink your claws into the soft
       skin around their eyes. If your opponent doesn't run away, take
       advantage of their temporary blindness and perform leap-and-hold
       move.
       Double death bite
       Seems dishonorable and is only used against very evil cats. A
       partner and you take on one cat. Once you've got a hold of your
       opponent, your partner helps hold down enemy cat, and you both
       bite hard down on enemy cat's throat. Two pairs of jaws will cut
       off airway and cat will choke to death. Like I said, it's
       considered dishonorable and would only be used against evil cats
       like Tigerstar, Darkstripe or any cats of BloodClan.
       Dizzy dance
       Only can be preformed by a extremely small and quick cat against
       a larger and at least somewhat slower cat. The cat charges head
       on then swiftly leaped sideways, ducking under the cat then as
       soon as the cat preforming this attack is out from under the
       other cat it spins and leaps over it. Then once More spins but
       rams the side then jumps over/goes under the cat and rams the
       other side then land one final blow by leaping onto the cat's
       back and grabbing the scruff with teeth and using your free paws
       to batter the cat's head. This attack should in the end result
       in a dizzy or confused enemy.
       Back rake
       A bit like Belly rake, if your a SkyClan cat this move works
       best. If your fighting a cat from the front, jump over the cats
       head and score your claws down their back.
       (Un)balancing act
       If a cat is going to bring down all its weight on you while
       rearing on its back legs, role towards your opponents hind legs
       to unbalance him.
       Dizzy tackle
       A great move for swift young warriors facing older, larger
       warriors. You run in circles around them at top speed until
       their to dizzy or tired (if the were chasing you) to keep up.
       Then you tackle them. While they are down, attack. Caution,
       standing directly over them makes you vulnerable to the Belly
       Rake. This is a One-on-one move and is not recommended in a
       place with many foes.
       Making sure
       You never know if a opponent is actually dead. When an opponent
       goes limp, they become vunerable, so make sure they are really
       dead. Bite and slash. Claws unsheathed. When you think they have
       gone to StarClan, pray and leave.
       Tail trip
       The opponent moves to you and at the right moment, trip them
       with your tail. [/font][/center]
