Kenjutsu spar

[KeotsuEclipse]

It's been far too long, and I'm too out of practice. I need to get back into the game, with no fancy stuff.

Rules: No chakra usage, no type of ninja weapon (exploding tags, shuriken, etc).

Killing won't count, as this is just a spar.

No stealing of any kind.

Terrain: The stone ruins of some lost and forgotten amphitheater high in the mountains, with a heavy downpour coming over the terrain - we stand on the verge of short and mid-range from each other, ready to duel
I"ll be using a hand-and-a-half long sword - if my opponent has two weapons (like two swords) then I also have a small kite shield. (For those who are unfamiliar with my set-up, think something along the lines of the Master Sword and Link's shield.)

Anyone up?

Meh, we'll see. I'm trying to get back up to my peak, and then pass that.

*As I glimpse you with the rain falling heavily, I lift my sword, held in both hands, as I rush towards you, the sword pointing over my right shoulder.

Upon closing the distance between us in this forgotten arena, I begin by simply unfolding my elbow and bringing my blade downward upon you, in a right-to-left horizontal slash, at an angle that crosses your shoulder and hip - however, the blade never actually reaches your hip, as I pull the blade back as it makes contact, quickly slicing the blade across whatever it contacts - this ensures the optimal amount of force is transferred as the maximum amount of blade would come into contact, instead of just the actual edges clashing.

However, this back pulling of my blade allows me to set up easily enough as I twist my wrist, bringing the blade around so that it points behind me and to my right, but from my left side, allowing me to slash with the blade again, this time horizontally at about mid-chest level, again pulling the blade in such a manner that the most amount of the blade can make contact, and to keep from damaging the blade by having only one point meet.*

*I take out my Katana and hold it up near my eyes with my right hand only. My legs are spread shoulder lenght apart giving me better stability. As you are closing the distance between us I concentrate on your movements and at the moment I see you starting to perform the horizontal slash, I quickly swing my sword extremly fast, making the Kisaki (Blade Point) point at the ground, and as your sword is coming at my shoulder and hip, I dash a little bit and at the same time, bringing the Katana diagonaly to the left from where your sword is coming from, blocking it there, but then I see you pulling it back so I once again focus and concentrate on your movements and as I see you performing the slash at mid-chest level, I quickly dash and swing my whole body a little bit and seeing that you are wide open for attack, becuase your horizontal slash just failed, your hands will be spread along with the sword at one direction, making the rest of your body a target so as I swing my body I quickly but carefuly, perform a horizontal slash motion, striking to the ribcage from right-to-left, turning the blade sideways as I thrust in and then I quickly push out the side in one fluid motion, sliding in between the ribs, and exit out the side.*

P.S If there is anything wrong with my move please share and if you can tell me all my mistakes I do I would be very greatful, and this is my first kenjutsu spar so bare with me xd

*Seeing your strange little dance as you block the first attack of my onslaught, and you sidestep my second slash, I simply twist my body to face you as I sidestep to my right - this, coupled with my swinging of my longsword back across to the left allows me to catch your blades edge on my own's ricasso (area above the crossguard), stopping your slash cold.

Pushing forward, towards you, as our blades are locked, I force yours to slide upward, as I raise my arms - releasing the blade with my left hand, but turning the blade horizontal with my right so that your katana is edge-to-strong with my own blade above us, I step forward and to my left as I bring the blade down - since (I'm assuming) you're right handed, I could easily keep my blade between myself and your own blade as I make this movement, taking advantage of my blade's length as I slide it downward quickly during this movement, increasing the angle to hold contact with your blade, resulting in my pommel crashing into the crown of your head - and with that contact, I quickly leap backwards, just enough to set a small distance between us.

Holding my blade in only my right hand now, held in front of me and pointing the tip at your throat (the blade is in a similar stance to a basic stance, not extended and pointing at your throat), I again charge in towards you, bringing the blade upwards in a right-to-left diagonal slash.

Since the blade would be pointing the wrong way from my stance, it required me to whip my blade around as I approached you, so that by the time the slash is actually rising, I'm again holding the blade with two hands, increasing the strength of the blow.*

strange little dance ? wtf dude ? xd

*As our swords are blocked and as you begin to take advantage on me, I quickly realise Im in great danger and as out hands are somehow raised, I quickly see an oportunity and kick you in the stomach O_O thus preventing you from crasing your sword onto my head.*

*Then as you are performing your second slash diagonalt from right to left, I quickly grab my sword with my both hands, and as you are about to perform the slash, I raise my katana, making you think that I will block the slash, but instead I dash back avoidign your slash and as you said - you are performing the slash with both your hands so after you fail once again to kill me, you will be once again oppened for attack so, as I dash and your strike fails, I perform a horizontal motion from left to right, holding my Katana with both my hands, cutting your head off.*

*Having known, with my hand raised, that with my mid-section open as it was, it would prove too great a temptation for you to not and try strike it, I simply step forward as I see the beginning of movement in your legs - closing the already short distance between us insures that you can't extend your leg to try and kick me, however, the fact that I step forward with my corresponding leg so that I slam my knee into your shin, pushing you backwards, and thus off balance, I simply continue forward with my previous move, aided by the fact that you're no longer stable, being on one leg, and leaning backwards.*
