Well, you know the drill, tell me everything you know about Kenjutsu

 

[ReXii]

Kenjutsu is the art of the sword, Most commonly used by samurai though various shinobi have show proficiency such as Kirabi Sasuke Orochimaru etc.
Generally these techniques are close range fighting skills that focus on quick reflexes and speed rather then overpowering an opponent you must outmanouver them.
Most Kenjutsu techniques do not require chakra but there are a few supplemental techniques that require the use of chakra such as infusing a blade with elemental properties commonly lightning or wind chakra as shown by sasuke bee and asuma.
The techniques requiring chakra are not always more powerful but they do have a very useful supplemental ability in combat.
Aside from the usual katanas used by the samurai variants of weaponry are huge ranging from chokuto to spears such as a naginata and of course the seven swordsman of the mist and there hugely powerful unique weapons.
Kenjutsu shows huge variety in fighting styles and of course varies even more with different weapons and users.

Thats pretty much what i know about Ken lol

In the bold is what I read, everything else I overlooked xd

Since that is essentially in a sentence what Kenjutsu is, even though many people have their own definition as to what Kenjutsu really is. Although the universal truth is that Kenjutsu is infact the art of the sword. Many people accept one of the two following ideals about Kenjutsu: If you do not respect the sword, you are not worthy to wield one; If you do not fear the sword, you are not fit to wield one.

Now, onwards.

Please, tell me what the difference is between a One-Handed Slash and a Two-Handed Slash.

 

[ReXii]

Well a one handed slash is peformed with one hand held on the blade and can be done in a number of directions and at various angles usually done with a light sword and by people less worried about balance and finesse
On the other hand a two handed slash is done by holding both hands on the sword and is a standard style amongst most samurai as it allows better accuracy and power when swinging the weapon

You overlooked my wall-0-text i took ages writing that Fuuuu! xd

xd

And as for the reply itself, not really. I also had a feeling you would say "..is done with one hand on the sword....is done with two hands on the sword..."

A One-Handed Slash although not as powerful as a Two-Handed Slash has greater maneuverability. It is also easier to chain attacks, or follow up slashes using one hand as opposed to using both.

A Two-Handed Slash as you can imagine is much more powerful and faster, due to the extra force that is carried behind the blade. However, it has less maneuverability than a One-Handed Slash and is harder to follow up.

Any Questions?

 

[ReXii]

Nope no questions in fact i overlooked your entire post except for when you said "any questions"
Lol
Joke joke xd

 

[Mockingbird]

Okies, so go on and perform a one handed horizontal slash :3

 

[ReXii]

Ok sempai!

I grab my sword with my right arm in its sheathe slowly removing it letting the blade sing as it is drawn,
I plant my feet firmly on the ground spread apart lowering my centre of gravity slightly before raising my arm over my shoulder and bringing it down diagonally with a powerful slashing motion, Then using the momentum from my slash i spin with my legs contorting my body around while keeping my arm outstretched slightly to gain enough momentum to perform a horizontal slash with the momentum of my spin swinging the blade with superior speed and power.

Decided to do a one two combo xd

Ok, good good, now onto a One-Handed Vertical Slash

 

[ReXii]

Gripping my sword with my right hand tightly i dash forwards dropping my center of gravity at the last possibile second allowing added momentum to my body as i bring my sword from above my head directly downwards in front of me, As the sword reaches the bottom of its swing i use the full speed of my body kicking my legs out behind me and forward flipping repeatedly peforming the same slash several times covering a greater distance.
(Basically done choji's meat tank with a katana)
Yeah i yoshimitsu like a bawwws

Good ^_^

Now can you tell me what a stab is, and why it is important?

 

[ReXii]

A stab i believe generally refers to a thrusting technique
These are obviously very quick and can cripple an opponent or kill if they are aimed correctly, Also they are quite difficult to defend against when compared to the slashing techniques.

Perfectly explained.

Now please, could you demonstrate on for me? (On the training dummy of course )

 

[ReXii]

I carefully draw my sword from its sheath taking up the correct posture with my legs spread to balance my weight, I then draw the sword back keeping my arm low to the ground instead of raising it, Once i have done so the blade tip is almost next to my hips i thrust forcefully in to the training dummies chest aiming for where the heart is located and forcing the katana directly through the dummy.

Good.

Now, earlier we distinguished the difference between a One-Handed and a Two Handed Slash, so could you perform a Two Handed Horizontal Slash for me?

 

[ReXii]

I quickly grip both hands on my blade pulling it parallel with my hip and swinging it horizontally with a large amount of force cutting a small tree in half

Hm?

Your still using a sword?

*Hands you a bokken*

Ok, now perform a Two-Handed Vertical Slash on the training dummy.

 

[ReXii]

But but.....This is wood lul

I grip my toothpick assuming a chudan stance i lift the sword above my head with both hands firmly gripping the hilt and bring it down with all my force on the training dummy crushing its dummy head and snapping my toothpick (Training sword) xd

 

[Mockingbird]

Lol

So do you know what a lunge is?
