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 all weight on your front paws.
Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.
Belly Rake: A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control.
Duck & Twist: Simple defensive move. Duck and then twist around, rolling over onto your back, and then spring to your paws.
Front Paw Blow: Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head, claws sheathed.
Forepaw Slash: Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.
Half-Turn Belly Rake: Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.
Jump & Pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on your opponent.
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 & Hold: Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the 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 & roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
Partner Fighting: Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each 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 their grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.
Scruff Shake: Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck, then shake violently until they are too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.
Tail Yank: Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force that your opponent is thrown off balance.
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 & hold except your claws remain free to fight.
Upright Lock: Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip them under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.
