I place my left hand on the scabbard with my thumb pressed against the Tsuba. My right hand is on the hilt. I push the tsuba with my left thumb to unsheathed the blade, and then I pull the katana out of the scabbard fully with my right hand and raise it above my right shoulder in a quick motion. The blade is facing forwards, and then I perform a diagonal slash as I swing my arm/blade across my body. Once I am done I pull my katana back to the right side swiftly, simultaneously, I quickly flick the blade to resemble flicking the blood off the sword. I change my hold to a reverse grip and then place it back into the scabbard. I then return to my original form.
