As soon as her opponent confirmed that she wanted to spar - quite enthusiastically she had to say - Tamsyn easily fell into a defensive stance with her paws spread evenly apart, her head falling evenly with her spine, and claws digging into the dirt for extra traction. It was a stance that came to her with practiced ease now, but she still remembered how awkward and difficult it had been when she had first begun learning. She wasn't sure if the other wolf would want to make the first move yet or not, but she knew better than to be unprepared for it if she did. She half expected the woman to do some sort of similar stance to herself since pretty much every wolf she had fought had done that, but this time it was something unique. She dropped down with her front paws spread and head close to the ground and it made Tamsyn lift a curious brow at her.
Before she could ask about it, her unnamed opponent took off like a rocket toward her and it made Tam immediately snap back into fighting mode, the interesting start to it all forgotten. She waited for the slightly smaller woman to get close and even let her chest hit square into hers, but she held firm against the impact aside from a quiet grunt as a bit of air was forced from her lungs and the one step she was forced to take backwards. If anything there might be a bit of bruising left on her chest, but with her stance as firm and locked in as it had been it would have been very difficult for a woman of her size to knock her off her feet - which was the only reason Tamsyn hadn't tried to dodge her. This way she had her within close quarters to launch her own attack.
Tamsyn was quick in reaching for the charcoal gray scruff next to her face, wanting to get a firm hold of the loose skin there. She felt the woman try to pull her paw out from under her so to avoid it she would also shift her weight onto her hind legs so she could lift her forelegs and try to wrap them around the younger woman's neck just as an added level of hold on her. Either way, she would attempt to pull the woman off of her feet, trying to push her onto her right side to keep the gray and red marked woman from knocking into her on the way down.
