Love the replies but do yall know the difference between skill and just trained to use the sword lol? Skilled takes time and trained is just like this right here what we are doing. Skill you will physically have to get up close and personal with the opponent. Now Kenjutsu is all about sword actions. First to learn off in learning kenjutsu is to learn the actions.

  • Vertical Slash: Vertical Slash is a slash that goes from up to down or down to up.
  • Horizontal Slash: Horizontal Slash is a slash that goes from left to right or right to left
  • Diagonal Slash: Diagonal Slash is a slash that does from one shoulder to your hip or from your hip to your shoulder.
  • Slab/Thrust: Stab/Thrust is an action that the user does a lung(which is one you thrust forward without moving or moving one leg forward) and thrust the sword forward with blade tipped forward.
Any questions you like to ask? Also perform them ~_~

no question, proceed please

vertical slash: as i stand in front of the dummy with my sword, I quickly put my sword over its right shoulder and slashes the sword downwards towards its right hip. making a vertical wound in its body

Horizontal slash: after the previous actions, I continue slashing the dummy from its right hip to its left hip. making a horizontal wound in its body.

Diagonal slash: after the previous slashes I slash with my sword from the left hip of the dummy back to its right shoulder.

Stab/Thrust: after making the 3 previous wound in the poor dummy, I take my sword backwards then I quickly step forward while stabbing the dummy with the sword in it's "heart"

Vertical Slash

-I take my sword in right hand and tightly grip it with the left hand too.I then raise my sword above my head and strike down.After doing so,I hold my sword against the ground and strike it straight up.
"Vertical Slash,okay."

Horizontal Slash

-I once hold my sword,and position it horizontally.I then hold it to my utmost right hand side and swing it to the left in one swift movement.I then position the sword to my left side,and I swing it to my right while it's horizontal.

Diagonal Slash

-I start by positioning my sword from my right shoulder height and the slash it down to the height of my hip in one swift diagonal slash.I then start from my hip's position on my left and strike my sword up to my shoulder's height also in a diagonal slash.

Stap/Thrust.

-I position my sword pointing forward.I then perform a quick thrust by pushing my sword forward in a quick movement.I then postion it forward once again,but this time,I put my right foot forward and thrust my sword forward.

No questions ^_^

*goes into close range with a training dummy*
He grabs the katana that he's chosen before with his right hand, because that's his dominant hand. He holds it very firmly and hardly concentrated by taking a deep breath. For the first move, he raises his katana high into the air. And then, he rapidly, as fast as he can starts veering his hand down but also very carefully because he has to cut through the dummy doll. Thus, he makes a few centimeters of the katana go into the dummy and make a vertical cut on it, which goes esactly through the navel. For the next move, he put his right hand in a position like he's going to slap someone, aka he strectes his hand out onto the right. While still holding the katana very firmly, he makes a swift move on a dummy and makes a horizontal cut that goes straight through his chest. Then he raises his right hand into the air but this time not paralel with his body, yet in a slope of approximetly 45°. He repeats the moves from the first two Kenjutsu techniques and slashes through the dummy's body, connecting its right shoulder and left hip. For the last move, he moves his right hand which still holds the sword towards the back, making his fist paralel to his hip. He steps with one leg towards the dummy which helps him to speed up his move and then thrusts with his sword straight into the place where a dummy's heart would be. He then puts his katana away.

I have no questins. ^^

When using a one-handed attack, you are faster with performing your attacks and and you're able to attack from odd angles because it's easier wield the sword, but the cut is not as powerful. When using a two-handed attack you have more control over the swing or attack angle of the blade, but you need a bit more time to attack with grabbing the sowrd with two hands but the attack and cut is more powerful and deep. Also, I would use the one-handed attack when having to swiftly avoid my opponent's attacks. when I have an opening and need as strong attack as I can and I have enough time, I would use the two-handed attack.

the one-handed slashes are faster but aren't deeper than the two-handed.
the opposite in thrusts, the two-handed are deeper but aren't faster than the one-handed

Comes neart training dummy.

First I take sword with my right hand and put it just beneth my left hip with my eyes closet focusing on hitting that dummy after doing so I open my eye with making a huge diagonal slicing move when my hand with sword in it is now in the air just above my right shoulder. Again now I put my right hand just beneth my left hip with it in 45degrees angle.Now I make a huge breath focusing on doing the next move and after doing so I make a horisontal slicing move slicing dummy right on it's middle part.Now putting a sword above my right sholder with my right hand holding a sword I make a slicing move right trough dummy's left part of body. For the last move i take sword with my right hand with my legs put togheter and put my albow behind my back in 45 degrees position.Now I make huge step forward with my left leg and at the same time I put force into my by extending my hand towards to dummy stubbing it.


When using sword with bouht of your hands the power you put into it is stronger but disability about this is that your mobility is limited when it comes to moves.When it comes to using sword with one hand you are more agil as well as faster and you are able to attack from more angles and many diffrent positions.

Well,a two handed thrust would be more powerful then a one handed thrust as more power is put into it.
A one handed thrust would be faster then a two handed thrust though.So it all comes down to strength and speed I guess.

*ignores Thoth post*

Good, one hand is speed but lacks the power and two hand lacks speed but has power. Also one handed is not balanced but two handed you are most balance and have more control over your body and the sword.

Okay now give me a combo of using a sword.

Well tell me how would you avoid or block the following
  • Vertical Slash(all ways)
  • Horizontal Slash(all ways)
  • Stab/Thrust
  • Diagonal Slash(all ways)

*previous shizz*
You created 4 clones and I grabbed the katana.
Vertical Slash
I looked at the first clone and glanced, I lifted my sword and held it above my head with both hands, and I moved my arms down, and slashed vertically with my sword, slicing the clone's head*poof*
Horizontal Slash
I grabbed the sword with both of my hands, and held it horizontally. I moved the sword to the right, so it was held horizontally against my right hip. I looked at the 2nd clone who was standing before me, and I moved my arms to the left and slashed the clone horizontally.*poof*
Diagonal Slash
I held my sword with both hands diagonally a bit above my right shoulder. The 3rd clone was standing before me, and I moved my arms along with the sword, and slashed his ;eft shoulder diagonally, slicing him up all down to his right hip. *poof*
Stap/Thrust.
I pointed my sword towards the chest of the fourth hoka- clone, I stepped with one foot a bit to the front, and pushed the sword forward, stabbing the clone's chest. *poof*

Well if you're holding a sword with 2 hands, you can control it very well and have greater force, but, and with 1 hand you have less power, and less control, but the speed is much higher than with one hand

I grabbed my sword and rushed at your clone you just created, who is also wielding a sword. I acted like I would slash him horizontally, from my right to the left, and I assumed that he would hold his sword vertically and move it to his left, my right and he would block the sword and creating an opening. I was right, he tried to do that, but I stabbed back, so he sliced in the air, and he was open, I stapped to the front again, and stabbed the sword into his right hip *poof*

Vertical Slash(all ways)
-Holding/Slashing with my sword horizontally
-slash the sword (horizontally/diagonally) from the right or left side, this will also create an opening
Horizontal Slash(all ways)
-Holding my sword vertically (and slash with it to the side, while holding it vertically)
-slash the sword from above or beneath when the sword approaches, this will also create an opening
Stab/Thrust
-holding my sword a bit vertically and slash it from either the right or left side, which will also create an opening
Diagonal Slash(all ways)
-in the opposite diagonal direction.
-hold the sword vertically or horizontally( but holding it a bit high), but this also depends on how far away the opponent is, and it could fail

I'll edit it soon because apparently I missed some -_-

*firmly grabs his katana with his right hand*
He starts running towards the shishou's clone which is quite far away from himself. On his way to get to it, he tries to clear his head from all random thoughts that are not related to his attack. Once that he has his head free, he starts thinking about how will his move looks like, he also tries to predict what will be the clone's reaction so that he could perform his attack more succesfully. When he gets really close to the clone, he has everything planned in his head. First, when he's about three meters away from his target, he has his right hand in a way that his fist is parallel to the left side of his face and when he feel slike the distance and timw is right, he horizontally swings towards the clone, cutting itexactly through its navel. He doesn't stop only at this. As he swings with his hand, he prolongsthe movement of his right hand so that he spins around axis. When he makes approximetely a spin of 240°, he raises his right hand into the air, so that his fist is parallel to the top of his head. As he countinues spinning and makes the full 360%, he vertically swings with his sword, making a cut that goes exactly through the center os his chest. He does all of that very fast, before the clone manages to poof from the rist attack. Shhortly after a "+" appeard on its chest, it vanishes.

Against horizontal, vertical and diagonal attack, I would most probably defend by making opposte moves with my sword: vertcial move against horizontal move, horizontal move against vertical move, an opposite diagonal against the diagonal attack. I would avoid vertical attack also not necessarily by defending against it but when a person raises his sword up into the air and tries to cut me, I would use a horizontal move to cut through my opponent's stomach. If someone would try to stab me, I would put my sword horizonally, with the blade facing up and when an vertical stab goes close to me, my word would be bellow my opponent's and I would just lift away his/her sword.

Vertical Slash(all ways)

Against vertical slash I would either use opposite side of opponents vertical side which means it will be vertical vs vertical side. I can also use horizontal side.
Horizontal Slash(all ways)
Against horizontal slash I would use diagonal slash or opposite horizontal slash from my opponent.
Stab/Thrust
Against Stab I would use horizontal slash putting my sword in overside so the stab will be stopped by my sword.
Diagonal Slash(all ways)
Against diagonal slash I would use opposite diagonal slash from my opponents.

You creat a clone
Clone starts running towards me and I start running towards clone in the moments of running,I bend my right hands elbow above my right shoulder after doing so I take a huge breath and when we come in short range I make a vertical slash with my hand ending just beaneth my right hip and after doing so I turn my hands side and at this moment the end of my sword is facing me by doing that now i am able to make a diagonal slash from the beaneth of my right hip to left shoulder hitting your clone 2 times he dissapears.

Vertical Slash(all ways)

-Can be blocked by holding my sword horizontally.And holding my sword horizontally while blocking the vertical slash,I can also knock the sword out of the opponent's hand,thus blocking it sucessfully.

Horizontal Slash(all ways)

-Can be blocked by holding my sword vertically,This would stop the movement of the opponents sword and would great an opening of sorts.

Stab/Thrust

-A horizontal slash can knock the sword out of the opponent's hand if timed correctly.A diagonal slash could also knock it out of the opponent's hand.

Diagonal Slash(all ways)

-It can be blocked with a diagonal slash if positioned/timed correctly.

Combo ~_~

-After Deathstroke creates his clone and gives him,I immediately grip my sword tightly,with both my hands..I run forward towards the clone.As I reach the clone,he vertically slashes his sword from his head down.I then perform a vertical slash right as his sword almost reaches me,thus knocking it out of his hand.I then perform a thrust forward as the clone is defenseless,thus striking him in the stomach and poof.

Your clone starts running towards me and at the same time I start running towards your clone.When we come to close range I start making sequence of slashes first diagonral in which I first put my right albow which is narrowed at 45 degrees above my shoulder and then make diagonal slash in which end my hand is in the same height as my hip.Now my right hand is at the left side of my body and from that position I make a horizontal slash ending with my right hand being at the height of my hip as well on my right side of body.After doing so I make a last hit by turning my right arm that sword is now facing me and after doing so I make a horizontal slash destroying your clone.

As you create your clone,I immediately tightly grip my sword and start going towards your clone,who is rushing towards me.As I get into close proximity with the clone,using my right hand,I perform a barrage of diagonal and horizontal slashes with great speed.First,one slashing the clone from the shoulder diagonally down to his hip and then from my left to right,a horizontal slash across his stomach.I then step forward with my right foot,performing a final thrust in the clones stomach,destroying him.

*grabs his katana with his right hand and starts running towards the shishou's clone*
While he's running towards his target, he makes sure that he holds the sword strongly and securely. He also tries hard to clear his had from thoughts that aren't important and tries to think about how will his performance look like. When he gets close to the clone, he has everything predicted. Firstly he puts his right hand so that the fist is paralel to the left hip. At the right time, he makes a horizontal move whilst superficially cutting the clone through its stomach. Just as he finishes with the first move, he proceeds with the movement of his hand so that he has his right hand and his body closing an angle of approximetely 120%. Then, he makes a swift, also superficial, diagonal cut that connect left shoulder and right hip of the clone. As his hand finishes being paralel to his left hip again, he makes a vertical move but this time, from bottom to up, with the blade of the sword facing up. He makes a small cut connecting clone's navel and neck. Now, he has his right hand up in the air, with his fist parallel to the top of his head. He puts a lot of effort and great force into making an another vertical cut, this time the normal way and making a serious wound on clone's body. His does all of this very fast, so that the clone doesn't vanish befor ethe very last move.

You created a clone also holding a sword and he started to run at me. I was staying very calm on my place and quickly drew my sword out. I looked at the clone and used my "killing intent"when he approached me, he dropped his sword, and I performed 2 opposite diagonal slashes from his shoulders to his hips, and then I performed a horizontal slash, chopping his head off. *poof*
