Ok.
Kenjutsu or sword arts are based on the use of swords,be it shinobi or samurai.Kenjutsu can be used with taijutsu,ninjutsu and chakra and/or chakra flow (adding elemental chakra to the sword to make it sharper,longer etc.).It is very useful and is good for both offense and defense in close combat.

Yepp thats fine.
Now this training session will consist of two parts.
In the first part i will show you all of the motions, and in the second, I will conduct a Kenjutsu spar, in which you and I will fight. Once you've shown knowledge of how to wield your blade, this training is over (I'll also guide you through that if theres any trouble)
Understood?

I'll just jump in 
Kenjutsu is the art of Swords used primarily by Samurai or Shinobi. Kenjutsu includes the basic art of using a Katana. Kenjutu includes blocking, side-stepping, dodging, vertical strikes, horizontal strikes, diagonal strikes, stabs, and adding chakra to one's sword. Kenjutsu is usually used in conjuction with taijutsu because both are close quarters combat.

Now, there will be two parts to your training.
Forst, I'll show you guys the motions, then in the end I will conduct a Kenjutsu spar with the both of you.
Silver will fight me, and Azn.. whatever your name is will fight my Earth Clone.
Understood?
No because your signature is ugly!! >_>
Im joking, but no you can't join, 3 people is too much for one session.

Alright..
First lets start with shoulder strikes
*shows you motions*
Now do them 100 times on the dummy.
The reason you must do them so many times, is because of muscle memory. In a fight you want these motions to flow naturally.

Alright!
*Take out a practice sword and holds the hilt with his dominant, right hand. I then begin my motions by lifting the sword upwards on my right side above my shoulder and strike in a diagonal path stopping at waist height. I repeat the motion another 99 times but make sure to have the correct motion for each one and strike with my full strength for every swing, placing priority on correct technique.*

-I draw my sword with my left hand holding the sword not too tight.I begin repeating the motion and raise my hand with the sword above my right shoulder.I thrust the hand downwards in a diagonal motion and stop at waist height.I keep doing the exercise 99 times and concentrate on doing it correctly everytime.-

No and No
A shoulder strike is just when you Strike at the shoulder.
What you guys did was a diagonal slash.
(I know this can be a bit confusing, since I myself don't use all of the movements, and therefore have no idea what they look like.)
But for this training, all you have to do is say this every time...
*Does motion 100 times.*
Since were going to have a spar later, the use of so much detail right now is unnecessary

Anyways..
Now do Hand Switches
*shows you motions*
Its important for a swordsmen to be good with using both hands.
Do them 100 times each hand.
