Waterstreak watched his apprentice practice, meanwhile he began thinking over new moves to teach Moonpaw. "Alright Moonpaw!" He called. "Since you seem to be rather quick on your paws, we will work on some quick stunning attacks." He explained.

(I DUNNO BUT I LOVE IT!!! :rainbowllama:)

Waterstreak offered his apprentice a kind smile, hoping not to overwhelm her with a whole lot of information on her first day, but she needed as much information as he could push in before her breaking point. "Okay, so I've noticed that you are light and quick on your paws, and we're going to work that to your advantage. Let's start with some basic swipes. See this bush?" He said flicking his tail towards a bush that jutted out into the clearing. "Trying running by at swiping low at it." He instructed stepping back to watch.

(ME TOO!!:rainbowllama:She climbed to her paws, stepping back slightly. She lowered her body closer to the ground and ran at the bush, attempting a blow to it's branch.

Waterstreak watched his apprentice practice. "Alright Moonpaw, very good." He praised. "Now I'm going to teach you a rather common move, but it's rather effective. Watch." Waterstreak stepped forwards and began to explain as he demonstrated. "So imagine an enemy right here." He said as an image of Acornprick sprang into mind. "Stay back a little ways so you can get a good running start. Then charge at them. At the last moment propel yourself forwards on the ground, this will knock their feet out from under them." Waterstreak launched at the image of Acornprick. When he was just a few tail lengths away, he sprang forwards sliding across the ground. He stood back up once he stopped and shook the dust out of his pelt. "You try, and don't worry if you get it wrong on the first try."

"Very good!" He praised. "Now try it a few more times just to get familiar with it and then come try it on me." He told her sitting down to watch her.

"Alright Moonpaw, that should be good. Now come try it on me. Don't feel bad if you don't knock me over at first, it takes a great deal of strength, something that will develop with practice and dedication."

Waterstreak stood at the ready, his paws spread evenly below him and his tail out behind him. As Moonpaw rushed at him he braced for the impact. Moonpaw slamed into his front paws making him fall forwards while his back paws stayed planted on the ground. He caught himself though, before he toppled onto the apprentice. He stepped back and regained his balance. "Very good! Now, how do you think you would go about blocking a move like this?"

"Yes, jumping would work." He said his tail tip flicking over head. "Here, why don't you try and block me?" He said already getting into a stance ready to launch. He pushed off and raced towards the apprentice praying to Starclan she would act soon enough.

She took a deep breath and didn't wait for him to get close before leaping aside. She knew he could easily turn and speed at her, and she was ready.

@Rabbitpaw
Waterstreak padded back into the training cave, ready for another day's work. He padded in and stood to the side of the cave waiting for Moonpaw to join him.

"Today," He began, "We are going to work on your balance and your strikes. Tomorrow we'll work more on defense." He said kindly, taking a seat and wrapping his gray striped tail around him.
