[Kenjutsu] Vision Teaches Loki & Venom
- Thread starter Venom
- Start date
Doing the same action as before, same possition - same timing, I yet again slash across the dummy from right to left. This time however, as soon as the slash is dealt, i shift the "edge" of the bakken to the opposite side, being the right one, since i had previously slashed left; doing so i continue by hovering it from my left side onto the above of my head, having my right elbow space before my face, briefly blocking my view [ Which in actual combat, would be considered an opening for the opponent ] and then bring it down my twisting my wrist forward and moving my arms down, in order to deal the up coming slash from above. Despite the description, it took no longer than 2 seconds to do the vertical slash, after dealing the horizontal one.

With my right hand already on the bokken, i place my other hand on it. With two of my hand griping it firmly, i swing the bokken downwards, hitting the dummy from its head. With the bokken's tip facing downwards, i then bring it up back, and change my stance. Now, both hands on the bokken, and my left hand across my chest. My right hand arced back a bit more, i bring forth the bokken, with both hands still on hilt, slashing the dummy from its left hand side, going to its right.

After doing the slashes. I bring my right hand under my left arm, and my left arm a bit back. Ready to stab the dummy in its stomach region. With both hand still firmly gripping the bokken, i thrust it forward quickly, ramming the point, the top of the bokken directly into the stomach of the dummy. After, my hand practically drop down with the bokken's point now facing the ground, near the dummy's feet. Within a second of its decent, i bring it up quickly, hitting the dummy's nuts with a strong and powerful upwards slash, twisting my wrist, doing it upside down. When the bokken faces the sky, i release my left hand from it, while i spin the bokken back down, facing down, near my waist. gently sliding down in its holder on the left side of my waist.
After hearing orders, i shift my body in a manner that i'm body-wise facing my former right side and hold the bakken with my left hand while pressing my right palm against the flat surface of the bakken as a way to boost the speed and maintain a better balance - then stabbing the dummy where the left rib cage should be. I then retract the bakken and grab it firmly with both hands my right hand being above my left hand while moving my upper body backwards slightly as well as my hands, gaining more space to shift the bakken so that the "blade" is facing upwards, at this point i twist both wrists upwards and zoom my hands upwards, dealing what would be to a human a slash from his waist to his left shoulder. [ This one was a bit messy i know, couldn't think of a better way atm ]
Alright, both of you, face each other. First I want Venom to perform a one handed vertical slash on Loki starting from top to bottom. Loki I want you to block that vertical slash and force him to step backwards. Commence!

I begin to slowly walk forward to loki. Before reaching him, i unsheathe my bokken with my right hand, and gently place it over my right shoulder, still holding on to it of course. As i reach close enough for a strike, i extend my hand outwards to loki, open palm, for a handshake. I keenly watch loki's eyes. As soon as it goes away from my upper body, looking down to my hand, i straighten my right elbow, bringing down the bokken at a fast pace, hitting loki directly on top of his head.
Uppon seeing Venom extend his hand for what seems like a hand shake, i just nod as a way to show acknowledgment instead of going for the hand shake, yet still showing respect for him as as my opponent. Then holding my bakken within my left hand since the start, i notice Venom quickly begins his action and brings down his bakken for a slash at me; I in a quick, yet swift manner, i expose the middle body of by bakken foward with the edge pointing towards my right, my left wrist slightly bent towards venom to have yet more strength behind my bakken to successfully stop his own. Once done so, using shear force alone, i snap his bakken away to his right side with my bakken wich was clashing against his, leaving him open; I release the bakken from my left palm briefly and catch it with my right hand followed by a quick and silent horizontal slash directly at his neck, despite not having actual sharpness, hitting the neck with a wooden sword should be enough to make him lose balance and make him dizzy.

I just wanted you to block and move him backwards to get his off balance a bit... why are we striking people :|
Venom do the same, block Loki's vertical slash and push him backwards to keep him off balance!
I stop after i here Vision tell me to not strike, instead, once he goes and picks up his wood [ iykwim ] i hover my bakken with my right hand above my head, and bring it down with massive speed and strength behind it; Hoping to slash him from his left shoulder down to his waist.

Yes mam U_U
*go for my bokken*
With my left hand on my bokken i watch loki carefully. Suddenly i see him bring forth his wood and begins to bring it forth with brute force. With my left hand i quickly take my bokken out of its holder, taking a lower stance for balance purposes as the blade of the bokken hits loki's bokken. I then lift myself up, with all the strength in my thighs, pushing loki's bokken upwards more, and off my bokken. As it goes up, i throw the bokken into my right hand. As i bring my right hand outwards, towards the left and catch my very own bokken, i hit the base of the bokken with a strong one handed horizontal slash, knocking the bokken out of his hand. As soon as this is done, my left hand quickly grips the hilt of the bokken. With both hands now on it, i quickly thrust it forward towards loki's stomach, pushing him back.

I didn't tell you to stab him.... ~__~ kids these days...
Now we are going to practice parrying.
The object is, when you are attacked, you want to block but not completely, but just enough so it doesn't hit you while the momentum of the attacker keeps going and causes the off balance. You are blocking but giving way of his force and guiding it to your likeing, making that person off balance, leaving an opening for a leathal strike.
Now Loki I want you to perform a stab straight at Venom. Venom take that strike and parry it off to either side, strike the opening area that you have just created. A friendly tab should do.
I'll poke you with my stick of great stabbing!
Taking a stance, i retract my right elbow backwards, holding my bakken with my left arm and pressing my right palm against the flat surface of the bakken to use it as momentum and improved speed; Hence my right elbow bent backwards, i then thrust it foward in a firm way yet swiftly performed, aimed at Venom's stomach.

As the bokken went in the direction of my stomach, i leaned a bit forward, making the blow to my stomach lessen in damage. Then, i quickly take my right hand, with the bokken in it and hit the body of the bokken with enough force to move it to the left of me, making loki's body slightly tilt to the right. As this happens, i turn the bokken around, holding it in a reverse grip. My right arm cross over my chest. The hilt of the bokken is place to the right left hand side of my head, near my ear. I quickly thrust it forward, into the left hand side of loki, under the arm region.
