ooc: liv's pretty big, but she's still a kitten (i'd say 8 pounds?) + she has zero experience xD
Fight Club? Forest eyes sparkling in excitement, the girl dashed to join Severa. Tail high in the air, Liv piped up, "I wanna spar!" Despite the eagerness radiating off her, it was obvious a cat her age needed to join the training group first, so no doubt that's where the young guard would place her. Not that Liv would complain. Much.

Well at least the she-cat had spirit, Severa mused as she watched the kit bound up to her. Bloodclan began to train their kits much earlier than everybody else, but that didn't mean they were unreasonable. Still, if Liv wanted to Spar without any sort of instruction Severa wasn't going to stop her.
Just, gently nudge and hope for the best. "Oh? Wouldn't you rather learn a few moves first so you can try them out during sparing?"

//he’s pretty average size, maybe ten pounds-ish, I’m not sure lol
The tom approached the group, eager to prove himself to his new clanmates. He decided for a moment whether to train or spar. If he trained and displayed less skill than them, they would judge him, but perhaps be more lenient than if he volunteered to spar and was soundly defeated. He was very formidable, by loner standards, but if Bloodclan’s reputation resembled reality, that likely would not put him on their level. On the other hand, if he beat one of them in combat, he might win a bit of respect. The cocky tom came to a decision, before fixing them with a cheerful grin. I’d like to spar, he said simply, in his characteristic smooth, charming tone, giving Severa a warm smile as he regarded her.

Fight club? That certainly sounded interesting, and Ruth was always up for practicing her sparring moves. Since she had some training with Dualeyes, she figured the training session was going to be rather boring and redundant. "I can spar with someone," she offered, glancing at Olivia and Pyr. The former was perhaps a little too small and inexperienced for Ruth, but maybe she could dual with BloodClan's newest member.
( Ruth's maybe a little over average since she has some Maine Coon in her, and also because the other breeds she's mixed with are quite large. She's maybe 12-13 pounds? )

Tipping her head to Severa, she seemed to consider the guard's words briefly. Practice a couple moves first? Oh, right! Then she'd be super-charged and deadly in a spar! A challenging grin spreading over her face, she declared, "Yeah! Then I'll be super scary!" Would she be able to smack a cat down with one blow? Knock their feet out from under them before they knew what was happening? Maybe she could just throw herself right at them and they would be at her mercy! All sorts of impractical ideas flooded her brain, making her more and more anxious to begin, claws kneading the dirt under her.

There were enough for two groups at the very least. Severa dipped her head in greeting to Ruth. The tom was quite a lot older than her, and she had no desire to make herself look like a fool in front of the new addition. At his smile she felt a flush of heat crawl up her neck and she cleared her throat.
“Ruth, why don’t you spar with ah—I didn’t get your name?” she said, realizing she had never been introduced.
She smiled down at the kit, somewhat amused by her attitude. “Olivia, you’ll train with me.”
She lifted her head to look around at everyone. “We’re all still recovering from the dog attack. Know when to tap out, and if you draw blood—call it. Save it for a proper pit fight.”

Mania watched in the distance before padding over to watch. His blood red pelt stood out from everyone else's. "What a interesting prospect." As usual there was a sinister glint in Manias eyes. "Combat is the only entertainment." the scar covered tom focused on the cats.

The tom watched Ruth approach, and met her look with an amiable nod of greeting. She was one of the few cats he’d already met. Pyr listened to Severa’s directions, and gave giving her an apologetic look.Of course, where are my manners? Pyraedus, or Pyr for short, at your service, miss...? he trailed it off into a question. He wanted to get to know his clanmates, but did not want to waste her time with an overly eloquent or formal question. He waited for her to respond before he would turn his attention to his sparring partner.

As suspected, Severa paired Ruth with Pyraedus. She was a little apprehensive of this spar. The tom, though around the same size as her, was about ten moons older. More likely than not, if he had any sort of training, he was probably a more experienced fighter than she was. Ruth had been diligently practicing ever since the raid, so she had some confidence that she could hold her own for some time, long enough to determine whether or not she would lose or if she had a fair chance at winning. Stepping off to the side, a ways away from Severa and Olivia, Ruth stared down her opponent, bobbed tail swishing back and forth with anticipation. She unsheathed her claws, her body bracing itself for the thrill of the fight. “You can have the first move,” she told Pyr, positioned for his attack.

This had to be the first time she’d ever been regarded so politely in her life. Bloodclan didn’t seem to have a lot of chivalry, as it were. The dilute torbie stared at the tom for a moment before she realized he had asked her a question.
“Severa,” she swallowed slightly. “I’m one of the Guards around here.” She glanced at the newcomer. “You are welcome to join either the training group, or wait to fight the winner of the sparring match.”

He nodded when Severa responded.
Pleased to meet you, Severa, you have a lovely name, he said, before turning his attention to his sparring partner and padding toward her. If she wanted him to make the first move, he saw to real reason not to oblige, so he dropped into a crouch. The tom visibly fixed his amber eyes on Ruth’s left shoulder. After a heartbeat, he darted forward, making as if to shove her shoulder with his paw, but it was a feint. Keeping low to the ground, he twisted, and attempted to shove her upward by the chest with his shoulder. If he succeeded fully, she would be knocked over backwards. It was a bold move, and he was relying on his assumption that she was not heavy enough to take advantage of him being low to the ground and below her. He had considered going easy on her because she looked so young, but he decided that was a bit insulting. He wouldn’t hurt her if she proved a poor fighter, but he wouldn’t shame her by playing with her either. Of course, it was yet to be seen if he had underestimated her. [/colo

She had a lovely name?
That was the first time she’d gotten that compliment. She blinked, her burning gaze following the tom as he squared off with Ruth. She shook herself—she had a training to lead here. She lifted her head, the dilute torbie turning to Olivia and the newcomers.
“Let’s step to the side just slightly here so we don’t crowd them,” she said, striding a few feet from the sparring match. “Now, let’s start with the most important bits. What are your most vulnerable positions when fighting? Anyone know?"

Mania tipped his head watching the group chat, he chuckled. "Your both so polite, it's a miracle." Sarcasm was obvious as he walked up. Mania tipped his head to ruth. "I will just observe for now at least."

Ruth fell for Pyr’s trick, growing a little overconfident when she saw him rush at her. She moved to step aside easily out of his reach, but at the last moment he came up and shoved at her chest, throwing her off balance easily. Feeling herself tip backwards, Ruth fell for a moment or two before realizing she was going to go down. If she landed on her back, her stomach would be exposed and he would have an easy win. So, she twisted her body so she landed on her side and then easily rolled back over and scrambled to her paws. As she did so, she aimed a powerful unsheathed swipe to the tom’s legs to distract him momentarily while she regained herself. She popped back up onto four paws and confident that she had her balance back, leapt for Pyr, aiming to crash her body into his. If this succeeded, he would probably end up stumbling.

He was a bit surprised the feint worked, but he wasn’t about to take his attention off Ruth long enough to congratulate himself, even mentally. He dodged the swipe by dancing away from her, and wondered as she recovered fully if it had been a mistake to do so rather than pressing the attack while she was down. He braced himself for her impact as she rushed at him but the tom still stumbled, knocked significantly off balance by Ruth’s lesser, but still formidable, weight. Rather than correct his balance, the tom aimed a hard, sheathed blow for the side of her head, hoping to disorientate her temporarily so she couldn’t press the attack while he was unbalanced.

ooc: apologies for lateness, got tied up yesterday!
Did her ears deceive her? She'd be training with none other than a guard! Oh, boy, her dad would be awfully proud when he heard! Growing more eager by the second, she shimmied into position, rear wiggling with anticipation. Severa began with some inquiries, wishing to know which positions a cat was most vulnerable in. Hm... Olivia frowned, deep in thought. Thinking wasn't necessarily her strong suit, but the girl made an effort. "I don't like it when Gauge pokes me in the eyeball!" offered the big red tabby, grinning sheepishly. That counted, didn't it? Ah, she thought it did.

That hadn’t been exactly what she meant but she could work with it. She paused, then slowly nodded. “The eyes are a vulnerable point, yes,” she said softly. “If you’re trapped beneath tooth and claws, a good slash toward their eyes is a good way to get them off you.”
She paused a moment. “Let's say you are fighting with someone, what's a position you do not want to be caught in?"
