One Bokken will suffice o_o

Anyways, begin by telling me everything you know about Kenjutsu in your own words.

Kenjutsu is a style of swordplay primarily used by shinobi or samurai. Kenjutsu involves the usage of swords in an assortment of different ways. It is focused around the usage of short-range tactics by quickly coming up close to the target and then engaging into hand-to-hand combat. Kenjutsu in the Narutoverse has been seen using chakra to enhance the weaponry used in Kenjutu as well as releasing the chakra infused into a sword in the form of an energy wave, primarily from Cloud shinobi (Cloud Style) and Samurai (Chakra Saber).

Ohh xd

That was a long time ago xd

Ok, well now I have a different way of teaching Kenjutsu. It's kind of like Keotsu's style, since I admire his way of teaching and decided to try it out for myself.

Good reply.

"Everyone has their own definition of what Kenjutsu actually is, but a universal truth remains: if you don't respect the sword, you're not fit to use one. Kenjutsu is so much more than just the "proper way to cut someone." Kenjutsu is the art of the sword. "-The words of the great man himself.

Now before we begin, although for this training we will be using a bokken, tell me, what type of sword do you prefer to use? Like a Katana, Longsword, Nodochi, etc?

I like to use a tanto. :3

Interesting :3
No one's ever said Tanto before.

Well thats good, different blades have different impacts on the way you will fight in the future, although this training is pretty universal. One more question before we begin; Can you describe to me the difference between a one handed strike, and a two handed strike might be?

One-handed strikes are meant to strike quickly and leave an open hand. They are useful for when you want to strike quickly at an enemy. A two-handed strike is meant to attack with a high amount of power and to break someone's guard. It is also meant to deal powerful strikes yet give up speed. When striking with a two-handed stance, the user usually gives the target time to strike a blow when readying their strike. A tanto utilizes mostly one-handed strikes due to the short-hilt and don't have a collar. Using a tanto requires quick strikes and striking at weak points. The tanto usually allows the user to be brought in close because of the length of the blade and allows for a free hand to be used while fighting in that close of quarters. Allowing someone like me, to use their Gentle Fist on their target or strike to leave fatal wounds on the enemy.

An great response, with only a few flaws.

Firstly, with one-handed strikes you have move freedom, and maneuverability as opposed to when you use both hands. You can also chain attacks one after the other far easier and faster than with the use of both hands.

Two handed strikes provide much more powerful blows. They give you much higher striking speed, due to the extra force behind the blade, but you have less moving freedom.

Any Questions?

No questions! O_O

Lol, ok.

Although we've done this before, I apologize, but you're going to have to do it again >_<

Would you please demonstrate for me a One-Handed Horizontal strike?
*Throws you a bokken*

It's fine.

I take the bokken in my right hand and hold it with only one hand. I take it and I quickly run up the dummy and pull back my right hand while running to build tension in my arm. As I near the dummy, I release the gathered tension and swing with a hard strike to the left side of the dummy, my right, and cause a small abrasion to the dummy.

Good, and now A One-Handed Vertical Strike

 

[Kurisutina]

Alright.

I take the bokken in my right hand and grasp it behind me as I charge at the dummy. Once reaching 3/4ths of the way there, I quickly raise my bokken above my head and strike downwards on the dummy while also bringing my right leg forward naturally and simultaneously coming down on my right foot as the bokken splits the wood fibers inside of the dummy. As I make impact with the top of the dummy with the bokken, I immediately bounce off to reduce the time interval of force and cause even greater damage to the dummy then if I let the bokken "stick" to the dummy.

Excellent, apologies for the delay o_o

Now, would you mind telling me what a stab is and what the importance of it is?

A stab is when you directly strike the target with the tip of your blade. It's usually a quick strike that is meant to kill but it doesn't have a lot of power in it due to not having a position of torque like other strikes. It also usually leaves the stabber open to an attack due to the stab being easily countered by a move back, to the side, or deflecting the blade. It is important because it is a strike that is meant to kill and end a battle.

Good, and to kill most of the times, but as im sure you already know, it can also be used to fatally damage someone.

Now, please demonstrate a stab on one of the dummies, and also specify where you stab at it

Reee I feel like I am in the back of a intercity alley with a knife : D

I take the bokken in my right and left hands and pull it into the back of my normal stance. I then run at the target and as I run and get closer, I spot a particular location just below where the heart would be on a normal person. I then lower the bokken a bit. Once I near the dummy, I time a thrust with my two hands so that I can gain the force of my running and then force of my thrust in the stab as well. As I stab the target, I stab at an angle upwards on the target and strike in a location that would pierce two of the chambers of the opponent's heart, causing them to die fairly quickly.

Good now always be sure to remember that Stabs do not carry much force behind them, essentially making hem weaker, but they can still easily be used to kill a person, as you just demonstrated.

Now, since earlier we distinguished the difference between a One-Handed Slash and a Two-Handed Slash, I'd like you to perform a Two-Handed Horizontal slash for me in detail.
