Kenjutsu is the practice of combat using a sword, most commonly used my samurai and a selected bunch of ninja. Kenjutsu techniques vary from chakra control, taijutsu and ninjutsu, also genjutsu. An expert in Kenjutsu sees his sword as not a tool but merely and extension of their body.
What I think Kenjutsu is?
Kenjutsu is the art of connecting your soul with your sword. You focus your energy into every strike because the sword becomes an extension of oneself. To me it is more than flashy moves and strikes. It is putting your trust in your sword and allowing it to help you. You both become a team where each relies on the others strength and cover each others weaknesses. To me kenjutsu more than than the name itself....it is a way of life and an extension of my soul.
I spread my legs apart from each other. My left foot forward and my right foot back. I hold the sword with both hands (like a baseball player) and prepare what I consider a stance.
