Bettering my sword :D

[Korra.]

*waits for a legend*

 

[Typhon]

*A Wild Legend Appears*

O_O

*Wild Legend uses Training!*

Its super effective!

*Korra Learns Kenjutsu*

If only it twas that easy.

-----------------------------------

Okay, tell me what Kenjutsu is.

 

[Korra.]

Korra becomes an NB Legend :scorps:

Anyway Kenjutsu is the way of the sword. Kenjutsu can be used in combination with taijutsu, ninjutsu, elemental or normal chakra infusions, or rarely genjutsu to produce devastating impact on the opponents. Kenjutsu is commonly used by Samurais as well as the 7 swordsmen of mist, few ninjas from Kumogakure like Darui are also shown to use Kenjutsus.

 

[Typhon]

Okay good.

*tosses you a wooden sword*

Now get in a basic stance.

 

[Korra.]

*Korra takes the wooden sword and gets into a basic stance. She keeps breathing normally as she awaits further instructions.*

 

[Typhon]

Describe it in more detail. How are your feet positioned? How are your hands positioned? Where are you holding the sword in relation to your body? etc.

Kenjutsu and Taijutsu is all about the detail.

 

[Korra.]

*Korra gets into a basic stance. Her left foot is position in front of her while her right foot is position back. She bends her knees slightly and has her sword right next to her right hip. Her left hand is holding the handle while her right hand is holding the base of the wooden sword. Korra gets ready for instruction while also staying on her feet ready to strike.*

[Typhon]

*wakes up from a nap*

Huh? What's going on here? O_O

Oh, right, Kenjutsu training. >.>

Not my preferred stance in terms of holding the sword, but to each their own I suppose.


I get in a stance, very similar to yours in fact, but with my sword held in a different position. Rather than pointing towards the ground, I hold it in front of my body with both hands held around the grip, my left hand below my right. The blade bisects me vertically.

Now, attack me!

 

[Korra.]

*Korra takes a deep breathe and then draws her sword with the point of the sword pointing right at you. She uses her sword to attack you with a two handed diagonal strike hitting you from the top left of your shoulder down to your right hip. Korra then goes to kick you with her right foot into your chest while using her left hand to swing her sword in a horizontal slash hitting across your chest.*
