The art of Kenjutsu with Kimblee

[Vexion]

Kumori eagerly yet patiently awaits his sensai.

Why do you want to learn Kenjutsu?

 

[Vexion]

I was raised by the way of the sword sensai. My father and his father before him lived and died for the blade. I not only want to learn the ways of kenjutsu to honor my father in his afterlife but I want to honor myself as well. I am willing to do the same as my father and that is To live and die by the sword.

 

[The_Empire]

Can't say I blame you with your reason of learning kenjutsu.

Now Kenjutsu is all about sword actions. First to learn off in learning kenjutsu is to learn the actions.

• Vertical Slash: Vertical Slash is a slash that goes from up to down or down to up.
• Horizontal Slash: Horizontal Slash is a slash that goes from left to right or right to left
• Diagonal Slash: Diagonal Slash is a slash that does from one shoulder to your hip or from your hip to your shoulder.
• Slab/Thrust: Stab/Thrust is an action that the user does a lung(which is one you thrust forward without moving or moving one leg forward) and thrust the sword forward with blade tipped forward.
  
  Any questions you like to ask?

Sorry for the spam,but this is just a pharse me love ^_^,rep to you fellow Samurai

 

[Vexion]

Are you able to create flourishes or combos by combining these basic techniques? Other than that I understand up to this point sensai.

The way of the samurai is in death. When given both quick decisions always choose death.

Well that is my lil bro(not really lol) Aoi who is a good dude and will most likely train you in the way of the samurai.

Well actually you can combined some of these basic things. How about you try some combos, try at less three different combos.

 

[Vexion]

Kumori enters fighting stance....horizontal, diagonal, stab, thrust....vertical, horizontal, diagonal, stab, thrust.....diagonal, stab, thrust, stab, thrust.... Kumori finishes and bows

 

[The_Empire]

There is one thing I forgot to say, there is two ways of using a sword. There is one hand and two hand. Can you try to give me the advantages and disadvantages of one and two hand?

 

[Vexion]

With one handed swordplay you are alot quicker but not as balanced, also with two handed swordplay your body is more stable with your weapon but your range of attack lessens sensai.

 

[The_Empire]

With one handed swordplay you are alot quicker but not as balanced, also with two handed swordplay your body is more stable with your weapon but your range of attack lessens sensai.

Okay and with kenjutsu you must also know that one hand is faster then two hand. Now try your combos over with more description on which way you are swinging and how many hands.

 

[Vexion]

Yes sensai....takes attack stance. One hand horizontal slash, two hand vertical slash, two hand stab, thrust.....one hand left vertical slash, Two hand upper vertical slash, one hand left horizontal slash, two hand stab, thrust....two hand left vertical slash, two hand right diagonal slash, stab, thrust. Stops and bows.

 

[The_Empire]

Okay the combos are okay but not good. First off you forgot to tell which way of the direction. You vertical, horizontal and diagonal but which way? Could you explain which way?

 

[Vexion]

Yes sensai.takes combat stance... I attack the enemy by swinging my sword horizontally to the left with two hand the following up with a downward vertical slash with one hand then I end with a stab with two hands.... I attack again with an upward left diagonal slash with one hand then I follow up with a horizontal slash to the right with two hands then end my enemies life with a double stab and thrust with two hands. Stops and bows

 

[The_Empire]

Now that is the way it suppose to go. You are actually learning quick. Now give me a six hit combo with the last action in your combo is a stab/thrust.

 

[Vexion]

Yes sensai. Takes combat stance... to start a do a horizontal slash to the left with two hands into an upward diagonal slash to the right with two hands followed by a downward vertical slash with two hands followed by a horizontal slash to the right with one hand followed by another horizontal slash to the left with two hand and I end my foes life with a two handed stab and thrust

 

[Vexion]

Kumori stops and bows humbly

 

[The_Empire]

The problem in your combo is that you were already on the right side and you did a horizontal slash to the right. That is the only problem so any questions you have for me.

 

[Vexion]

Thank you for pointing that out sensai. I have no questions for you sensai.
