Continuing my Kenjutsu skill with one of the greatest swordsmen

[Bruce Banner]

*Waiting Keotsu Eclipse sempai and to enhaced my Kenjutsu skill*

this is your question sempai :

Alright...I guess I'll treat you like the rest of my students.

You'll learn:

One-handed Techniques:

• Basic Horizontal
• Basic Vertical
• Basic Stab

Two-handed Techniques:

• Basic Horizontal
• Basic Vertical
• Basic Lunge

Movement:

• Side-stepping
• "Arc"-stepping
• Some other movements

Defense

• Parries
• Blocks
• Countering

Anyway, before we begin...

What is the relationship between a swordsman and his sword? And why do you use a sword?

Also, can you tell me the differences (advantages/disadvantages) of one-handed techniques and two-handed techniques?

(" Sorry for jacking your thread, Ruiz.)

here is the last of my post answering your question

Should I make a new thread or should we continue on this thread sempai…?

A sword for aswordman is like his 2nd life, they merge and understand their sword to become one with it like the sword is himself, by that way the sword and the swordman would understand each other in the end when the sword have become one with the swordsman then the swordman would become dynamically tag in when comes in battle.

The advantages of one handed sword is the user have lots of free move with their movement and the attack efficiencies become dynamic

And the disadvantage of one handed sword is so many blind spot to targeted as their un dominant hands would be an easy target

The advantages of two handed sword is they have a quite great defensive of the user and cover the opened target

And the disadvantages is the opposite of one handed sword advantage, their movement space become limited and their movement become slower than the one handed sword

this is your question sempai :





here is the last of my post answering your question

Your answer for the one/two handed was good, but also keep in mind this:

One handed techniques have a faster "chaining speed" meaning that you can use them more quickly than a two-handed technique, while two handed techniques have a faster "striking speed", meaning that they would actually make contact first.

And, of course, two-handed attacks have more strength and directional control, while one-handed attacks have more freedom.

Anyway, before we proceed...You missed one part of my question.

Why do you use a sword?

Understood this sempai and I’ll kept this in my mind.

Why do you use a sword?

xd sorry my fault, why I use a sword…? It’s because a sword a magnificent weapon, none like any other weapon, a sword not just a tool to wield up but it would become a second life for the swordsmen a partner during battle can be use for attack, protect and defensive, because of that principle, I wanted to use a sword

Very well...

First, we'll begin with the One-Handed Horizontal slash.

It attacks on a horizontal plane (x axis [ <--------> ] ), and can be used to stop vertical and diagonal attacks.

Please demonstrate, in detail, how to preform one.

If you need, I'll preform it before hand, and then you can do so, after seeing me (doing so in your own words, without copy/paste, of course).

i'll try it by my self sempai, if my move are wrong please guide me.

*i wield up my long sword with my right hand grab the handle of the sword then coverr my right hand with my left hand then ilift it up to my middle level, then i move my sword to my right side with a horizontal move and stops in my right stomach level then i begin to dash forward and slash in horizontal slash forward*

Pretty good, but you just did a two handed variant. Right now, we're doing one-handed variants. Please demonstrate again, with one hand.

i'm sorry sempai, my fault

*i wield up once more my long sword with my right hand grab the handle of the sword then i lift it up to my middle level, then i move my sword to my right side with a horizontal move and stops in my right stomach level then i begin to dash forward and slash in horizontal slash forward with my long sword within my right hand*

 

[KeotsuEclipse]

i'm sorry sempai, my fault

Don't worry, it's not a big deal.

And better.

Now, we'll move on to a one handed vertical slash.

Vertical slashes travel on a vertical axis ( y-axis ( | [ up and down] ) ), and can be used to stop horizontal strikes and some diagonal ones.

Please demonstrate.

yos sempai, here goes...

* i wield up again my sword with my right hand then i lift it up as a human head level with the edge of the long sword within my middle back, and the handle of the sword right at top of my head, then i look forward and start to dash ahead and perform vertical slashes travel on a vertical axis with slash up and down until the edge of my sword nearly hit the ground*

Very good. Note, though, that what you did is more akin to an overhead swing (about the most powerful attack you can make, when you're using two hands), and that a vertical attack doesn't necessarily mean you have to take the blade behind your head- it could just go up high.

Anyway, next are stabs. Stabs are quick, forward thrusts- they are dangerous because they don't leave you open for long, they can create distance if needed, and they can deal very heavy damage if they hit, since it would most likely pierce a vital organ.

If you would, please demonstrate a stab.

Understood that sempai... *node*

* with my right hand grab the handle of my long sword and lift my sword in the middle body level aiming the stomach, i then make a stances with my right foot behind my left foot then i pull my sword backward then gather some power within my right hand then i perform forward thrust by make a stab move toward human stomach level*

Very good. ^_^

Now, since we covered the difference later, we can just move on to the next attack.

Please demonstrate a two-handed horizontal swing.

yos sempai

*i hold again my long sword handle with my right hands but this time i cover my right hand with my left hand on top of it, so now i hold my long sword with my both hands, make stances then i lift it into the middle level of my body horizontally,then i move my long sword to my right side and stops in the middle level my right stomach, i gain strength then swing my long sword horizontally*

That's good, but your form was a little off. When using a two-handed technique, you don't overlap your hands, per-say, but you place one above the other. That is, similar to this:

||
(||)
(||)
||​

Where (||) represents your fist.

Now, anyway, if you're good to go on, I'd simply like you to demonstrate a two-handed vertical attack, next.

*i grab my my long sword handle then i place my hand above the other, so now i hold my long sword with my both hands, make stances then i lift my long sword as human head level then gain strength within my both hands then perform the vertical movement from up to down, slice the enemy apart*

Very good.

Now, next is something that is actually a bit different.

Can you tell me what the difference between a lunge and stab is?

Also, could you tell me some advantages and disadvantages of a lunge?

Lunge is s a weight training exercise that is used to strengthen the quadriceps muscles, gluteal muscles and the muscles comprising the "hamstrings", the semitendinosus, the semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris.

while a stab is penetration with a sharp or pointed object at close range.

They are completely different Lunge is a structured movement while stab is just a random movement.

The advantage of lunge is to strengthen muscles and make them solid power but the disadvantage is if you perform it wrong then the it'll cost your muscle injured

xd Wrong kind of lunge.

You must be registered for see links

This is an example of a fencing lunge.

A stab is a quick and fatal (if it connects) movement, but lacks raw power and range. A lunge is basically a slower, extended for longer range and more damage.

If you get it, I want you to preform a lunge, but correcting your stance to accommodate two-hands on your blade. Generally, you will use a one-handed lunge, but here, I'd simply like you to do it with two-hands to stick with the training theme.
