Sunflowerpaw listened to Mountaintalon intently, her amber eyes fixed on the larger tom before her. Doing as her mentor instructed her, the apprentice planted her paws evenly against the ground and lifted a golden forepaw. “Like this?”

Mountaintalon squinted, then reached out to adjust her slightly. "A little further up, like this. There."

He cleared his throat. "A front paw strike is the simplest attack you can learn, and often very predictable, but it has its uses - to distract and disorient, or to blind and break jaws. It depends on how you use it."

Without warning, he swung a forepaw at her head - stopping short just before he would strike her. "Like this. I want you to try it on me."

Ears twitching, Sunflowerpaw lashed out at Mountaintalon with a large, golden paw. Her claws were sheathed, obviously, but if the blow landed, it would send the tom stumbling backward a bit.

Mountaintalon let the blow land, turning his head with it. His braced paws prevented him from moving very far, and he shook out his pelt. "Decent form. Add a little more power, and practice the motion until you feel comfortable with it."

With that said and done, he changed subjects. "As I said earlier if you have been paying attention thus far, your size will affect which tactics you lead with in battle, but now I'd like to demonstrate what I mean. I want you to attack me as if I were an enemy warrior, not a Clanmate, and I will fight back."
