Kenjutsu Spar (Open)

[KeotsuEclipse]

No chakra, no tools.

Just your body, and your sword.

Terrain: A large, perfectly flat stone slab - that gives off a golden glow - in an alternate dimension. Completely neutral territory, nothing that will hamper or boost your abilities. Endless in a lateral direction.

Keotsu bio, I'll be using a chokuto style bokken. For those unfamiliar, it's basically a straight, wooden katana.

Yusuke Mandalorian biography in sig.

I'll be using a regular spear that Yusuke is more familiar with along with having a sword strapped to my back in case I get bored playing with a spear.

Yusuke starts off with stabbing the sharp, tip edge of his spear onto the ground and then crossing his arms, placing it on the top, blunt edge. Despite this, Yusuke is ready at any time to swiftly pull out the strapped sword on his back or thrust his spear out of the ground to defend himself.

Yusuke : You making the first move sempai?

 

[The_Empire]

Aww man, I wanted to do it with a wood katana also .

*Dei Dei goes emo*

 

[KeotsuEclipse]

Hm...

I'll take you on, Dei Dei. Would you like to start, or shall I?

And don't worry Yusuke, you'll have your shot at me soon enough if you finish your training (which is why I chose Dei Dei.)

 

[The_Empire]

Hmm, you start

Idk which bio to use so it really doesn`t matter, we are using kenjutsu and probably tai.

"Show me your skill."

*I take a hold of my bokken with both hands, pointing it tip downwards and in front of me.

Approaching you so that we are just outside of each other's range, I take a deep breath, and prepare myself for battle...

And then I charge.

Taking two quick steps forward, I quickly cut upwards at a diagonal, cutting my bokken from my lower left to upper right, in a rising slash across your abdomen, ending the cut just below your left shoulder.

During the slash, I take one more step forward, thrusting my chest forward and throwing my left shoulder towards you, adding more power behind the slash and forcing you backwards in the same movement.

Tilting the blade by angling it and bringing my arms up (an easier motion since I threw myself forward), I take my bokken - parallel to the ground - and stab at a slight angle, making its tip stab into the upper portion of your ribcage, just below your left armpit, very shortly after the rising slash I preformed.*

 

[The_Empire]

I hate your description . It makes me read it over about three times lol.

I hold my bokken in my right hand holding it over my right shoulder. As you go for your upper diagonal slash from your left, I side step backwards so the blade doesn`t cut me. I bring my bokken straight down on to your left arm. But doesn`t stop there as it is about to hit your left arm, I flick my right wrist and the blade goes right into your left side of your rib cage. I then jump backwards smiling.

(sorry for the late reply, I had my daughter last night so I fell asleep)

Sorry, I'll try to be more clear with what I mean. o.o

*As you step backwards as my slash comes upwards, I quickly re-evaluate my plan as you had not blocked the slash like I had anticipated. I - instead of trying to throw my shoulder forward - quickly raise my blade upwards while stepping backwards; doing so brings my arms up high, out of your reach, and the stepping back puts distance between us, causing your blade to slash just in front of me, allowing me to avoid your attack. In addition, if you try a follow up maneuver, I take precautions by adding an addition backstep.

As you too leap backwards, I examine my plan of attack.

Crouching down slightly, I spring forward and rush at you, lower to the ground to increase my speed. Once within range, I quickly swing my bokken from my left to right, from just above hip level to about mid-chest level, using a quick-draw strike. However, instead of carrying the strike all the way through, I halt the strike about half way, as to allow me time to react quickly, in case you simply avoid the slash.*

 

[The_Empire]

With you going backwards, I bring my bokken towards the ground, holding it with both hands. As you rush at me, I stand holding my bokken tight with both hands. I swing my bokken straight under you as it comes up doing your draw slash. While bringing it up, I raise my right leg up into your growing area smashing it into your growing. I hold my bokken up with yours on top of mines.

I hold my bokken up with yours on top of mines.

*When I see you placing your bokken down low, it causes me to momentarily rethink my course of action once again as I rush towards you - my slash, aiming high, will leave me extremely vulnerable down low.

I decide to try a tactic, playing off the advantage I have: momentum.

As I'm nearing you, preparing to unleash my draw-strike, I preform a simple maneuver - I throw my body downward and to the left, right as I see your blade come up.

This makes me go into a very quick dodge roll your right side, harmlessly past you as you bring your blade upwards, or at least start to while you try to adjust to my roll. I however, take advantage of my own momentum, and quickly uncurl from the semi-ball like stance I am in from the roll, and flare around, rotating quickly, not unlike a break-dancer. This quick rotation allows me to continue on with my draw strike - albeit in an unorthodox manner, striking the back of both of your shins with extreme force, using the bokken.

The rotation and forward momentum I had also helps me, as I flare my legs out as a rotational inertial increase; my legs work as a aerial sweep kick, aimed high, as you'll likely crumple from the bokken strike to the back of your legs, but they allow me to place one foot on the ground (as my body is angled downwards from my "breakdancing move"), allowing me to spring upwards and backwards quickly, out of the way of any potential counter attack.

However, I don't play defensive.

Rushing towards you once more, holding my bokken with both hands and slightly behind me, on my right side, I blitz you at full speed. Once within range, I unleash a quick and powerful horizontal slash, striking from right to left...however, my two-handed grasp was a ruse; the powerful slash is being preformed by my left hand only. Taking advantage of the force created by the slash, my right arm comes around in a quick rotation as my chest turns and sinks a fierce uppercut into your abdomen; as my slash goes upwards, and will keep your sword busy, I have no problems executing the lower punch.*

"Come on! Pound me into the dirt; make me earn my reputation!"

 

[The_Empire]

As you do your roll, I look and seeing you go for your slash for my shin, I do a backflip with my bokken in the air. I land jumping backs looking at you. I throw my bokken away with my fist up in front of my face. I put my right foot forward and right fist forward. With my left fist beside the left side of my face.

"Senpai, it is time to see which is better my fist and feet or your bokken."

I clap my hands together and summons two UFC gloves with foot supports(like UFC fighters) on the ground I take my shoes off and put the foot supports on and gloves. I stand up.

"Ready when you are, senpai."

I start smiling with calming my breathing.

*While you start summoning your equipment and equipping it, I launch my bokken skyward, like a pinwheel, while I remove my gauntlets, leaving my hands and forearms bare, while removing my jacket as well, revealing my short-sleeved black body suit, much like Rock Lee's.

Extending my hand, I catch my bokken in front of me.

"You'll find I'm no sapling when it comes to Taijutsu, as well..."

*Holding my bokken in my right hand, I rush at you with the wooden sword trailing behind me, pointing straight back and held parallel to the ground, while I lead with my left hand, held at an angle in front of me as I blitz towards you.

As I approach, I leap towards you, aiming for more forward momentum, and not height, as I turn my body - I do a very quick rotation, augmented by my bringing my sword around in a right-to-left horizontal slash; at an angle, due to tilt in my jump.

From your perspective, this is a left-to-right diagonal slash, with me barreling towards you.

I, in my rotation, chose this angle as when my sword passes by you, I can still preform a spinning kick if you counter, and/or touch down on the ground with that same foot.*

"COME ON!"

 

[The_Empire]

Nice move senpai
___
As you barrel towards me rotating with your sword tilted doing a diagonal slash towards me, I drop down towards the ground. I spin counterclockwise with my left leg out with my left hand balancing me while I spin. I trip you as your bokken was just about to hit me. The split sec it was going to hit. I then after tripping you up, I jump off of my left hand and bring down my right leg into your waist like Tsunada but not as high, as you are falling or is on the ground. I get up.

Thanks.

*Seeing as you reacted poorly to my attack (I was in the air, there would have been no way for you to trip me), when you go downwards to try your sweep, my bokken would smack into your chest, making you lean forward due to where it hits you (left shoulder), while I finally touch down on the ground behind you - with that, I jump back a few feet.

I then open my arms up, as if urging you to come at me.*

 

[The_Empire]

Sorry about that, luck the sword isn`t steel ^_^. I didn`t read your move carefully.
___
As I slide and lean forward because of your slash, I lay there in confusing. Then I get up slowly short after thinking. I shake my self off and looks at you.

Aww you want to hug me senpai. Here I come for my huge.

I charge lightning(it is so easy for me to charge lightning chakra, #teamlightning) chakra into my legs as I lean on my tippy toes and burst at you adding more lightning chakra to my legs. I focus lightning chakra into both fist making it concentrated lightning so it shows as if I was doing Chidori or Lightning Blade but I`m not. I go to do a straight right hook to your face. I then go for a right knee as I lean in for the straight right hook. The knee is a whole surprise to you since you are looking to defend from the right hook. I`m leaning on my left tippy toes, I go for a left hook to your right side ribs.
