Einarr vs Tinaro

The festival spars were the most anticipated part of the day, and soon commenced upon his arrival. His sparring partner was earlier announced as Einarr, a name definitely unfamiliar. This wolf was more likely to be of another pack, and the thought of that made him nervously gulp. What if other packs trained more often than Abaven? If that was the case, his own inexperienced fighting skills would be no match against a more formidable and trained wolf. He grew more certain of that negative thought especially after getting a long examine of his opponent. The cream and russet male's scent was not of Abaven, yes, but he stood at a towering height. Tinaro felt puny and weak against such an opponent, almost intimidated by the size. What was he thinking when he decided to participate in the festival spars? Well, there was no turning back now. No way was he going to chicken out before the actual fight started. Facing the other youth head on with no more than a distance of 2 metres (7 feet) between them, he hesitantly set up his defences. When he occasionally forgot all about the other boy, he surprisingly felt quite confident preparing his battle stance. His head lowered to align with his straightened spine and tail while his chin tucked and shoulders rolled forward. He adjusted the positioning of his limbs so that they were evenly spread apart and slightly bent while his toes splayed and claws dug tightly into the ground for grip. His eyes narrowed as his ears flattened against his skull and lips curled. It didn't matter that his opponent was larger, right? There had to be advantages with a small size.

He began the fight with an attempt to close the distance between them in as few strides as possible, approaching his opponent head on. In the hopes to confuse his opponent, his whole body pivoted to his right (Tinaro's right) just before exposing his chest in an attempt to drive the upper right half of Tinaro's chest into Einarr's lower left shoulder. It was unlikely the larger male would lose his balance from such a slam, but Tinaro was only hoping to cause bruising. Without hesitation, he lowered himself in a swift ducking movement so his jaws could easily reach the area he wished to bite. His jaws lunged forward, attempting to clamp down upon his opponent's upper left foreleg, right where the limb connected to the shoulder. Whilst doing so, he would pull the foreleg to Einarr's left in a quick and fierce yank in an attempt to pull or strain the muscle and limit his opponent's usage of it. However, taking his opponent's weight and size into consideration, it would not be so much of a successful move.
