3D2Y (Sword training with KeotsuEclipse)

[Gin-Sama]

Alright.

*Holding my bokken in my right hand, with its tip pointed behind me and touching the ground, I run at you, placing my left hand behind me and on the bokken's hilt.

Once I'm close enough, I use both hands and start bringing the bokken up over my head and down in an extremely powerful overhead two-handed vertical slash (note that I started bringing the blade up over my head before I'm in range, but only slightly, as to allow myself to strike you once I am in range without leaving myself vulnerable).

Following this up, I drop to my knees and curve my arms, and go into a sweep, allowing the powerful momentum of the strike to carry me instead of trying to stop it - because of this, I use the blade to quickly sweep across the ground.

Then, after making a full rotation, I quickly spring up, almost jumping, facing you in that movement, and use the momentum of the slash to propel me upward in a rising cut across your body - this slash is near vertical, and all of this happens in a VERY short time frame.*

when i see your about to use a vertical slash a prepare my self i directly make a side step and hold my bokken two handed level to my eyes the hilt and the blade going down across to my hips to protect my body
when your blade pass by and go down i twist my blade two handed unleashing a horizontal slash aiming across to your chest but you manage to kneel and do sweeping i my self jump back to avoid the rotation at the same time to gain my balance and a good stance.

this is hard sampai i dont know if im doing the right move..

Just a quick question - I've been wondering this since we began... What is 3D2Y?

That was good. The overheard strike is in the class of one of the most powerful strikes you can make.

And the sweep and rising cut are two moves you are unfamiliar with, and I put them in to see how you would react. Honestly, it wasn't bad.

Now, what we'll be doing next is moving on to some more complex moves - I'll be teaching you the Overhead strike, the sweep, the rising slash, and follow-up moves, as well as just how to combo effectively.

Are you ready to begin?

Alright, lets begin with the overhead slash.

Now, an overhead strike with one hand is more powerful than a one handed strike, but less powerful than a two handed one, while two-handed overhead strike is more powerful than a two-handed vertical strike, if that makes since.

I'll be teaching you the two-handed variation.

This is basically an exaggerated vertical slash, in that you reach all the way behind you with your arms, and angle the sword that it's as close to parallel to the ground as you can manage. Then, by taking a step forward, and unfolding your arms to bring the sword up over your head as you slash, and by also leaning forward into the strike, you use many more muscles in your chest to add power to the slash.

For now, I just want you to focus on the slash - we'll deal with the other aspects of it later.

Now, do the slash with what I said above, if you can.

Over head slash
*I take step forward and unfold my arms to bring the sword up over my head as i slash i leaning forward into the strike and use more muscles in my chest to add more power on it*

i do this 100 time to make more perfect

Pretty good.

Now, most of the time, this attack can blow through a guard, but if dodged, it leaves you wide-open in the worst way - you won't have enough time to fix your stance to avoid a hit, unless you're really good. o-o Even I'd have to think of a way out of it.

Basically, only use this if you can guarantee it'll hit.

Now, one defense to the draw back of the overhead strike is the next strike - the sweep. We'll get to how later, but for now, let's get you to use the sweep.

Now the sweep is versatile in that it offers quick, 360* protection, depending on how you use it.

I'm going to teach the basic.

The point here is to raise your sword and angle it slightly behind you, and turn twist your body on the same way (ever played golf? It's sorta similar to how you end up after swinging, only your sword is behind you, and you're turned the other way).

Then, you simply turn the other way and drop to one knee, and allow your rotation to carry you down.

Depending on how you do this, you can either do a full circle sweep, or simply sweep the area directly in front of you without rotating.

A sweep is one of the defense to the draw back of the overhead strike i remember this when you attack me with the overhead strike and then to make to safe you follow up with sweep...
to make a sweep i just raise my sword and angle it slightly behind me and turn twist my body on the same way.( i cant play Golf but i watch it on TV) Just swing like a golf sweeping is versatile in that it offers quick, 360* protection
2 kind of sweep
full circle sweep,
simple sweep (sweep the area directly in front of you without rotation)

Good. Now, the way a sweep works well with an overhead swing is the fact that an overhead swing creates a massive amount of momentum. By not interrupting this momentum, and simply going into the sweep immediately afterward, you create a sweep that is not only much faster, but much more powerful than usual.

Alright sampai can i try to attack you with overhead slash and then sweep.?

 

[KeotsuEclipse]

Alright sampai can i try to attack you with overhead slash and then sweep.?

*Gets my bokken ready*

Yeah, go ahead.

 

[Gin-Sama]

*Gets my bokken ready*

Yeah, go ahead.

* i hold my Bokken two handed and charge towards you when i close enough i start bringing my bokken over my head and then unleashing a two handed Overhead vertical slash.. and then i follow my move with dropping my knees and curve my arms and do a sweeping move's i just raise my sword and angle it slightly behind me and turn twist my body on the same way at full rotation... and then i quickly spring up, facing you in that movement and get my stance*

i don't know if that's a good or a right move so hows that move sampai.

*As you come at me with the overhead slash, I lift my bokken and use a twohanded guard to take your blow. But because the power of you slash my blow through my guard, I also sidestep to my right at the same time, simply using the guard to buy me the time do make the movement without getting hit, instead of actually trying to stop your attack.

Then, as you go in for the sweep, I leap backwards, dodging both the sweep and the rising slash.*

 

[Gin-Sama]

alright sampai what the next of sweeping move?

 

[KeotsuEclipse]

Your sweep was good. xd You chained it well, which was why I had to dodge - that combination of moves (overhead -> sweep) leaves very little move for counterattacks, and even less time for any that would be effective.

Well, after reviewing the thread a bit, it seems I have only one more thing to teach you - one of my favorite moves: the draw slash.

This move requires your sword to be sheathed. What you do is very simple: this is a one-handed horizontal slash, that pulls your blade out of its scabbard and attacks in the same motion, a good starting move.

Though I can't explain exactly why, this one-handed strike is one of the most devastating moves you can land if you manage to connect the strike.

This technique uses incredible drawing speed to increase the velocity of the strike that it makes up for it only being a one-handed slash.

Its one of my preferred moves simply because of how well it works, and that the motion is reusable - meaning you can do the "draw cut" without actually having a sheathed sword.

I can't find a video, but here is variation of it in one of my favorite games.

btw the Video is nice

 

[KeotsuEclipse]

xd I know.

Hm...Now...I can't really think of anything we've missed.

We've covered basic strikes, dodging, guarding, counter, some special moves, and a bit of comboing...

I beleive that is everything. o_o

Is there anything you would like me to help clarify for you?

If not, I do beleive you have just completed your Kenjutsu training. ^_^
