The position felt awkward and unstable, but he knew that was in part, because he wasn't used to it. He was used to laying low to the ground and stalking forward. Something that was useful in hunting, and tracking, but not so much in a fight.
Rodyn could use his brute strength if he needed too, but that felt a bit like cheating. Not to mention, there was no way it would work everytime. Someday someone would topple him if he wasn't careful if he only relied on one thing. It was why he did many things in hunting, if he used the same mindset at least.
He saw her coming and though he wanted to hold firm, when she hit him, his body swayed and bowed, but he used all his years of hunting to correct his legs and used the same momentum to move to the side and then back.
So he wobbled, and almost toppled, but managed to save himself from falling on his butt at least, but it was by no means perfect or concise. Mostly he imagined was probably luck and muscle memory.
