You've learnt to keep an eye on where you place your feet and become good at managing your centre of gravity, and as a result you're harder to knock down than most warriors. You gain a +2 bonus to Athletics checks to stay standing (in response to a Knockdown attack, for example) and +2 AM to Dodge or Escape defences against Trips and Sweeps, or to attacks opposed by Defensive Trips.
