There ya go!Now, we've covered horizontal, vertical, stabs, lunges, two-handed, guarding, and dodging now, right?

Good.yep!
Now, we're drawing close to the end here.
Is there anything you'd like me to go over again with you, before we move on to the final leg? Anything you'd like to try again, or try again to make sure you have it down?

*Like the ending to a video game.*
Are you ready to take on the final leg of your training?

Alright.
The final leg of your training...is a fight with me.
I'll try and give you pointers after every move.
*Takes a stance with my bokken pointing in front of me.*
Now come on!

How did I know this would end up happening?
*Runs towards you with bokken in both hands and lunges towards your stomach with it*

Probably because all of my Kenjutsu threads end this way.
*As you lunge towards me, I use my bokken to push yours to the right of me by sweeping my blade right - this causes your sword to go far out to the right, missing me.
But, as my blade is on yours, I turn my blade sideways and step in, bringing it back in a horizontal slice from right-to-left.*
No comment - first moves are always weird.

*As you push my sword away, I quickly bring it back, put my right hand on the hilt and slide my left hand to the end, point it vertically so your sword hits my sword in between my 2 hands*
*I push you back and regain my stance. Then I put my left hand back on the hilt and do a two handed diagonal slash from your right shoulder to your left hip*

*As you come in with a diagonal slash (having adjusted my own stances when you did), I turn my blade so it points from towards my left shoulder. Having turned the bokken, you edge would connect with my strong, just above the tsuba, as I guard your slash (with both of my hands on the hilt).
From there, with our blades locked, I quickly take my right hand off of the hilt and reach through, grabbing your arm, twisting myself, and throwing you over my shoulder - all in one quick movement.
As you are on the ground, I step back and let you get up.*
Nice move.
Here's my throw I did to you:

*I stand back up and take my stance*
*I slowly walk towards you, keeping my stance. While holding my sword with my right hand I do a horizantal slash from the right side of your stomach to your left. Then I follow up with a vertical slash from your left shoulder down*

*As your cut comes toward the right side of my stomach, I hold my bokken vertically at my right side, so that your blade would clash with my own. As I do this, though, I step in towards you, and crouch as I do - keeping my blade against yours the entire time as the angle steepens. This would happen very quickly, and I would be crouched by your knees with my blade down and your own bokken would go over my head.
Though, as it does, I'm still turning and come up, striking you with the back of the bokken in a rising slash as your blade is between the end of your horizontal strike and the beginning of your vertical one.*
Your move was decent, but easy enough to block.

*After I get struck I take 3 steps back and regain my stance*
*I walk back up to you and wait a moment*
*I crouch down by your knees (just like you did) and stab towards your chest while weilding the sword with my right hand only*

*Using my bokken, I slash right-to-left and sidestep to my right at the same time, sending your bokken out left and far away from me. In the same movement, I bring my bokken straight down, using your blade as a guide, and rest the back of my bokken against your throat.*
Unless you're going to fight like a fencer - quick strikes - the lunge is more suited for a mid-chain or finishing blow rather than a starting move.

O_O I never saw that you posted
*As you rest your sword on my neck, I take 2 steps back and regain my stance*
*I walk back up and do a quick stab towards your right calf then I follow-up with a 2 handed vertical slash going up from where I stabbed you up to your right shoulder*

'Tis fine.
*As your blade comes in at a stab at my right half, I sweep my blade right in a downward ark (think like a "U", only more spread), sending your blade out to my right, your left, past my leg. As you bring your sword upward in your two-handed slash, though, I sidestep to my left, and angle my body so that I'm now perpendicular to you, and as I do so, bring my blade back around so it slashes into your chest, if it doesn't collide with your blade - which would actually cause my strike to hit you in the face.*
Don't just take the hit - even if you can't use your sword to guard, that's what dodging is for.
