Grizzlybug flicked his tail, “yes, but I asked because I care about your opinion when it comes to your training. We’ve done a lot today and you’ve made real progress. Go ahead back to camp and rest, you’ve earned it!” The fluffy tom offered a big smile and turned toward the entrance himself, not feeling the need to escort the 19 moon old cat to camp. Then again, he himself felt like a rest rather than a walk or more hunting, so he waited at the entrance to the training island for Eveningpaw so they could head back together.

Grizz trotted to camp with Eveningpaw, still having enough energy to set a brisk pace. When they reached the entrance, he praised her again, “good job today!” Then trotted off with a wave of his tail to say goodbye, twitching his nose in search of some fresh trout.

Great. The two would have to pretty much start from scratch. "Alright, show me your best battle stance. Then, we'll work on techniques from there." The tom sat down, looking at her expectantly.

He sighed softly, hoping she didn't hear. Padding over, he decided to show her a good battle stance. "Your battle stance is similar to a hunting crouch, use your crouch as a base and then build on it. Watch me and then try on your own." Crouching down, he kept his weight balanced but, had it shifted on his hind legs. Owlflight's tail hovered just above the ground, similar to a hunting stance. His ears were flat on his neck, so say if a cat tried to bit them, it would be harder than biting his ears if they were perked. Moving more weight onto his hind legs, he leaped forward, twisting as if there were a cat below him to land on. Stretching out his claws in the air, he clawed the invisible cat before landing smoothly on the sand.

Standing up, he padded back over to Greenpaw. "I don't expect you to be able to do that right now. So just try your best and, just do the crouch."
@greenpaw

(Omg I'm such an idiot lmao)

Inspecting her crouch, he nodded. "Much better. Just remember to keep a bit of weight on your hind legs. It will aid you in case you need to leap up suddenly or take off. But, don't put too much there because if your apponent were to jump on your back, you would most likely be lopsided."

Facing Greenpaw now, he crouched. "Try to attack me, keep your claw's sheathed."

@Greenleap

He watched as she got ready to leap. It was easy to tell, she was leaning back a bit on her hind legs. As soon as she leaped, he jumped to the side, dodging the predictable attack. Skidding softly in the sand, he kept partly crouched, ready to jump out of the way while he was talking. "That was very predictable, try something I won't predict." Circling, Owlflight watching Greenpaw's each move, hoping that she would surprise him.
