Sparkfrost’s expression didn’t change, his goofy enthusiasm never fading. Where most cats would’ve dropped into an ambush crouch, the WindClan warrior actually stood on his hind paws in preparation for the apprentice’s attack. It was a very traditional assault, and not a bad one by any means, but fairly easy to deflect. Sparkfrost spun on his hind paws, twisting a semicircle around Deadpaw, and standing directly behind her shoulders, his back to hers. He knew that momentum would do the rest, and the apprentice would end up face first in the grass. The movement was certainly odd, yet surprisingly graceful. Behind her shoulders, he was completely out of reach. The movement looked almost like...dancing.
“How are ShadowClan, ThunderClan, and RiverClan warriors different from us?” He prompted aloud, leaping to the side, “For one, They’re far lazier. They don’t have to work nearly as hard to catch their prey as we do, but swimming, climbing, and stalking all require muscular strength. Their warriors are big and bulky—our hunting style makes us lean and agile, lighter weight cats.” He explained.
“Now you may be wondering where I’m going with this...sadly, you rarely have a good chance of outmuscling a big, bulky RiverClan warrior who spends all his time swimming and eating fatty fish. If you’ve ever fought a cat from one of the other clans, you know that they attack very much so like Deadpaw just did—hard and powerful, with lots of momentum.” He smirked knowingly, “They keyword is momentum. You must use their inertia against them. If you’re agile, which all WindClan warriors are, you can simply dance around their attacks, stay in their blind spots, and momentum will put them in the dirt before you ever unsheath your claws.”

[for anyone wondering, Spark’s fighting style is inspired by Japanese aikido, which allows a 90lb girl to flip a 150lb dude lol]
