Be on high alert all the time during a battle, it may save your life and you can surprise your enemy. You Clan cats just leave your opponent on the ground without knowing if they’ll get up and attack you from behind… follow my instructions, young Mothpaw and I’ll teach you how to make sure your opponent stays on the ground so you know they won’t attack you again,” the she-cat used her hind legs and kicked the apprentice off then got back up. “After you’ve been taught how to do the bite and pin, we’ll move onto the bite and kick. That’ll be your prize for learning how to do the bite and pin properly, understand?”

Mothpaw nodded, fire in her eyes. “I will make you proud!” she promised.
