Patiently Kanja waited as Sparrow hesitantly padded towards her. She kept her expression neutral, but her gaze remained sharp and watchful as she waited to see what Sparrow would do. Sparrow started to speak; walking Kanja through her thought process as she decided an attack. Never once did Kanja offer so much as a nod; she didn't want to guide her pupil's decisions. What she wanted was an honest run down of what Sparrow considered a viable attack.
Kanja spoke only after Sparrow had finished speaking. "You're right, in most cases its unwise to attack a larger opponent head on." She'd turned her head to look at Sparrow as the woman had taken up positioning on her left side, but remained standing in exactly the same spot. "You want your approach to be smooth, fluid and fast. The element of surprise can give you a brief - and if you use it correctly, powerful - advantage. Maybe act as if you're going to charge head on, then change positioning at the last second. Fake left, then dart right. Something like that. Having so many steps in your approach - sidestep, shift weight, swing hips away, replant paws - eats away at what little time you have to get an attack in before your opponent retaliates."
"The belly's a good target to go for. So are the paws and lower legs. Hitting up high on the knee or thigh probably won't do much against a big opponent, but hitting the hock or foot might cause your opponent to lose their balance." Alright, her turn.
Kanja jumped and spun her hind end to her right, in one fluid motion changing their positioning so that the center of her chest was lined up with the meaty exterior of Sparrow's left shoulder. "It's in my best interest to use my bulk to my advantage so I would slam my chest into your shoulder while using my left forepaw to drag your left foreleg towards me, hopefully taking you to the ground and pinning you." She quirked a brow thoughtfully, eyeing Sparrow all the while as she considered what else she could do. "I'd also try to gain control of your head to keep you from biting me again." Kanja tilted her head to the side thoughtfully as she eyed the curve of Sparrow's neck. "I would try to get you right behind the ear and along the curve of your jaw."
They could keep doing the back and forth thing, but she needed to make this challenging, right?"Now, say there wasn't enough time to get away from me. That it seemed likely that you were about to end up on the ground if you didn't do something smart and fast. What would you do?"
