A wild Keotsu appears

[Passion]

Since you're better than me in Kenjutsu/Taijutsu, I'll let you choose the terrain, range and rules (however I insist that this is unofficial). State the biography you're using in your post.

Terrain: Gladiator pit, the Colosseum? Mid-range radius of the pit.

Range: Between Short and Mid-range (on the verge of Mid).

Rules: No chakra?

I'll be using Keotsu, using my Mythos sword, though it's not in any state that makes it different from a regular sword, other than the whole indestructible thing.

If you'd rather chakra be allowed, go for it.

I'm fine with no chakra and Colosseum it is then.

for this fight and I have my swordstick on my other hand.

Sherlock (walking towards you): ''Keotsu, we meet at last. I've heard a lot good about you and I am hoping that we can give these people *nods towards the audience* a show that they've been looking for.''

"Indeed....Sherlock Holmes...Wow. Not everyday a man gets to meet one of his childhood heroes.

Anyway, as you wished for this duel, I'll extend the offer of the first movement...to you."

*I fix my gloves with this last statement, and rest my left hand on Mythos's hilt, preparing for our spar.*

Sherlock (has reached close/short range): ''Good manners too.''

*I bend my knees while grabbing the cane with both of my hands, unsheathing the sword that was hidden inside of it so that I am holding the sword with my right hand and the scabbard with my left one*

''I believe that counts as the first move, my good friend. If not...''

*Sherlock kicks dust of the Colosseum towards you and watches your reaction*

"As you so wish."

*I unsheathe Mythos from it's scabbard, holding the longsword with both hands; when you kick the dust at me, I allow the dust cloud to pass by me by simply assuming a stance with Mythos pointing directly infront of me, held at waste level; if you rush at me while I'm inside the cloud, you'll end up impaling yourself.

Granted, though, given the qualities of...dirt....even having kicked the ground hard, it's not absurd to think that the dust cloud is so big that I can't see through it.*

"En garde."

*Keotsu runs towards his opponent, and simply swipes his blade from his left to right in a horizontal strike with his right hand, aiming at a height equal to the sternum of his opponent, simply testing the waters.*

Given that you run towards me our distance would be close now.

*As you run through the dust, I've prepared my sword hand to meet your slash with another one (right hand, left to right) that'll deflect yours. As your sword is pushed back I take two steps towards you and place my leg on your stomach and push you back a few steps with a ''this is sparta'' kick*

''I believe that leaves me with the lead of one point.''

''I believe that leaves me with the lead of one point.''

*As you step towards me, swinging your blade in the opposite direction of mine, and in the same manner, with a single strike, it's likely that your blade will also be repelled out wide, as mine would be; however, when you step in, I watch - as your foot comes up, I allow you to "kick" me; however, in the motion of you raising your foot, I extend my left hand, which was free, and grab ahold of your ankle; as you push me, the force of me moving backwards, pulling on your leg, off-sets your balance, making you fall forward; smashing the pommel of my sword into the side of your knee while I have a hold of your leg, I leap backwards afterwards.*

"Don't get ahead of yourself; the tide of a battle can shift as much as the fickle ocean."
