cut loose like an animal
As his first time as a teacher, Rivaxorus felt strong. As he observed her, he tried to remain civil. However when she went to copy him he couldn't help but to stifle out a chuckle. Fault on his part - he should have said out loud what he was doing. He calmed his breathing and shook his head a little. "You've got the visible part down I guess - I forgot how unvisualized defenses can be." Rivaxorus would observe her stance, her knees were a little off - but that was alright. "You want to make sure you're sturdy and robust, distribute your weight evenly on all four legs when you slightly crouch. Also if you are not the first one attacking I forgot - tuck your head." He would start to assume his own stance as he explained. It might have been a bit boring but he wanted her to understand.
"You pull back your lips, to ready your teeth. Ears pinned that way they cannot grab hold of them, your eyes narrowed and locked on your opponent. You will need to watch their every move. Never ever take your eyes off." His chin tucked slightly into him. "Tuck your shoulders inward, and roll up your scruff like your trying to receed into your body. It will protect you from being thrown around like a pup with a thick layer of fur - and like if you were irritate raise your hackles. Toes spread into the ground, tail should be level with your spine. In some attacks you will need to redo your defenses to fit the situation. Tightening your abdomen muscles tends to help as well." Rivaxorus hoped he didn't sound like a parrot or anything of the sort. Relaxing himself again he looked at Zephyra, hoping that her second try would be more successful. |
