I assume that I'm your partner. Nice to meet you Blade.
I apologies for the late reply, I had some connection problems.

Upon arriving at the training grounds, Sawaii spots her training partner and her sensei. Not losing focus, Sawaii speaks in a calm manner but with an assertive tone.

I'm sorry I'm late but I was helping an old lady to carry her luggage.

Kenjutsu is the use of swords, be it by a shinobi, or by samurai. It can be used in combination with Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Chakra Flow, and Genjutsu. Chakra can be channeled into the blades for more devastating attacks, such as Sasuke when he uses Chidori True Spear. People that practice and are well know for their kenjutsu are Samurai, native to the Land of Iron, as well as the 7 Swordsman of the Mist. Killer Bee is also a very exceptional user of Kenjustu.

I want to learn Kenjustu because I love swords. Sword fighting has always intrigued me, and I would like to have the ability to adequately use my sword in conjunction with an elemental release. I wan to master Kenjustu and live by the Sword.

Kenjutsu is the style of fighting with a sword. It is used by shinobi and samurai and also it could be used in combination with ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. Likewise, chakra can be channeled through the sword. The chakra flow increases the potency of a weapon by flowing chakra through it. A shinobi/samurai can channel his/her chakra into a weapon. They can channel elemental chakra as well as raw chakra. That allows the weapon to become more deadly and powerful. Some people that are known to be great kenjutsu users are: Mifune, Darui and Kisame.

I want to learn Kenjutsu because it is one of my favorite arts. I also love the ideology of a samurai. Even though I don't want to become a samurai, I would love to use a sword in a fight. I would also like to have the ability to use my sword in conjunction with an elemental release.

Sorry for the wait...

Kenjutsu is basically fighting with swords. It can be combined with elemental to make stronger techniques or to simply make sword itself more durably and strong. It can also be combined with pure chakra to give a slightly larger range such as how the Samurai use their swords they can increase the range or even fire off projectile waves of chakra. I want to learn kenjutsu simply because I have a Byakuya bio and soon an Orochimaru bio both have swords so kenjutsu is a must for both also I'm in Kumo so swordplay is a must know.

Sounds good everyone. Now you know, everything you do with close range combat, you need to have a great describing ability. Now describe to me your stance with the sword. Make sure you describe how you're holding your sword, where your body is facing? Where your feet are? What are you looking at? Anything and everything must be said.

-Sasuke nods in acknowledgment of what is expected of him. After nodding, he reaches to his sword that is on his back side in a diagonal fashion, with the handle of the blade on the right side, and he grabs it with his right hand. After pulling it out, Sasuke stands sideways with his arms and face, facing the sensei, with his left foot in front of his right and his knees bent, and his sword held in his right hand over his head with his arm at a 120 degree angle, pointing towards the sensei, ands his left arm (the arm closest to you) is held out straight at you with the dull side resting in the extended left hand.-

listened intently. She also gave the situation a deep thought and strategized her next move in a mere matter of seconds. She gave a slight smirk and took a step back. After that she then took a deep breath and continued. Sawaii unsheathed her sword slowly, observing its movement and noting its fluidity when in motion. She felt a little nervous at first but she took a deep breath and continued. Holding her sword with both her hands in front of her now, Sawaii now had a strong resolve. The sword's tip was pointing at a low angle towards the sky. She was standing sidewards with her arms and face, facing her sensei. Her right foot was in front of her left foot and also her knees were curved. She was ready for whatever came at her for now she believed that there was nothing she couldn't do. As she held it, she gripped the sword tight and took note of its weight and how the handle felt. She had become one with the sword.

*Hearing the instruction Byakuya thinks of a proper stance to take upon making his decision he unsheathes his sword and holds it out with his right hand gripping slightly below the guard with his arm pointing downwards slightly below waist-level, while holding the sword at an angle tilted forward, his feet are spread apart shoulders-width as he stands sideways with his body facing the left and his head facing forward all while his left hand is still on his sheath in case he needs to use both hands for a strike or defend.*

some unique styles o.o

Alright, describe to me your slash. Which way you do it, how you do it, how you end, your feet and everything. Do 3 slashes and give me one more for good measure.

(creates 3 clones that run at each of you.)

As Sawaii saw sensei's clone approaching she quickly focused on how she held her sword, observing its body movement. She also made sure that she was holding the sword strongly and securely. The sword's tip was pointing at a low angle towards the sky. After that she quickly started running towards sensei's clone. As Sawaii and sensei's clone both entered in short range, she immediately put her dominant right hand so that the fist was parallel to her left hip. After that she made a horizontal move, whilst lightly cutting the clone through its stomach. As she finished her first move, she then proceeded with the movement of her hand so that she has her right hand and her body closing at an angle of nearly 110°. At that point she made a swift diagonal slash that connected the clone's left shoulder. As her hand finished being aligned to her left hip, once again she made a vertical move from bottom to up, with the blade of the sword facing up. She made a small slash, but this particular time, it connected the clone's neck. At that moment she had her dominant right hand up in the air with her clenched hand parallel to the top of her own head. For her final move she put a lot of exertion and great force into making her final vertical cut. This time she hit sensei's clone in a linear path thus causing the clone to disperse.
