best to fight an animal that drops red reductions without hitting red itself. Namely Foxes give Yield Ground, and Bats can give Flex (which admittedly is terrible but >nothing) and Artful Evasion
Once you get at least one of those you probably want to fight enough other creatures (badgers, deer, boar, cave slimes) to get Artful and maybe Zigzag Ruse.
Note that Combat Instructions which other players can use to “teach” moves are not so direct: you put them into your study window and then when you kill an animal that can drop the move in question, you have an increased chance of receiving that specific move.
It may actually be easier to kill animals for red reduction moves using Archery, you still get moves that way and don’t ever have to get hit. Deer and Boars don’t have very much armor.
