Orangeblossom smiled and nodded in delight, he was happy that she was picking it up so quickly! She was quite the learner! What a great first apprentice. “It looks great! Those are pretty common moves but when you learn more you can certain spins to them that allow you to get the upper paw on your opponent even with something that seems so obvious in theory. One of these things is a fake-out! Like the name implies it’s the act of pretending to aim for one thing but really you are going for another. Though for our next move I’ll be showing you a back kick.” A move that he didn’t really use himself but still handy to have just in case.

The warrior explained first as the move was a bit hard to break down into slow motion bits. “A back kick is when you well, kick out with your back paws. It can help when you have an opponent coming up on you from behind or if the opportunity presents itself. You roll up onto your front paws and shoot your hind legs into your enemy!” Orangeblossom showed off the move as he spoke, rolling up onto his front paws and kicking out with his hind ones before trying to slow down the motion as much as possible for the second show. Then he turned to Berrypaw, waiting for her to attempt the move herself. Perhaps after they go through everything they could have a friendly spar. If only Orangeblossom had another apprentice so the playing field was more level but practice was practice in the end. “You try! After we go through everything what do you think about having a little spar to practice what we learned this lesson?”
