Sorry for the late reply but I just got the email from nb with my new password.
Kenjutsu is basically the style of fighting with a katana/sword. It is used by shinobi and samurai and it could be used in combination with taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu. Some people that are known to be great kenjutsu users are Mifune, Kirabi, Zabuza, Darui, Kisame.
Chakra flow refers to the of chakra through an object as well as any technique that increases the potency of a weapon by flowing chakra through it. A shinobi can channel his chakra into a weapon, it can either be elemental chakra as well as raw chakra. That allows the weapon to become more deadly. By channeling wind chakra into a sword, the cutting power is greater.
Um, I guess by infusing fire chakra into a sword it would make it hot or create a flame around it, meaning that when you slash the sword at the opponent it would cut him and burn him at the same time. With the lightning element I guess it could cut and paralyze the opponent, we've seen Sasuke infuse lightning chakra into his sword a bunch of times. With the wind element it increases the swords cutting power.
Come you can do better than that, look at the basic 5 elements and try to write a good description on what each element can do the sword with chakra flow. Yes Wind can increase cutting power but it can do much more than that
I guess with the wind element once you channel your chakra into the sword, it adds to the cutting power but it could also blow your opponent backwards because of the wind. An example would be when you perform a slash on your opponent if the blade is surrounded by wind, I guess you can use to blow your opponent away or to cut him causing more damage because of the wind-infused chakra. With the fire element, the chakra makes the blade or surrounds it with fire, this allows the user to cut the opponent but at the same time burn him. We've also seen lightning infused chakra in a sword in the manga/anime, sasuke is known to do this. By infusing your sword with lightning, the electricity surrounds the blade, this allows you to cut your opponent but also paralyze them or shock them. To be honest with you I don't think earth and water are good elements to infuse within a sword, unless something like that has been done that I don't know about.
The user gets on a overhead position, with the sword perfectly horizontal, it is cast out, much like casting a fishing rod by pulling with the left hand at the bottom, much like a lever until it makes contact with the head or shoulder of the opponent and then simply drops down to stop horizontally again. The action should be done without power, allowing the blade to drop down.
Vertical
A vertical cut to the right side of the shoulder, it begins in the same position as the basic overhead cut and then tilts slightly on a diagonal path as it is levered by the left hand. With the feeling of casting a fishing line it makes contact with the target as the arms are extended and the momentum carries through the target, finishing in a position slightly slower than horizontal, breaking with the elbows touching the body.
Diagonal
The user bringing ones sword up to their right or left shoulder and then swinging their sword diagonally to their left or right hip/knee but not hitting it. Instead of attacking the opponent, this is used commonly do deflect enemy ninja weapons or even to make room for another.
Thrust
To perform a Thrust, start your attack while moving forwards or backwards. You will attack straight ahead with your weapon. This attack is good for keeping your distance from opponents, especially since you can start it while moving backwards, and always keep yourself out of range of their attacks.
Ok so welcome to my new Kenjutsu Training system. It was based off of Lili-Chawn and Reborns style of training. In this system you wont perform the techniques but I however expect some questions. So this will be broken down into 3 catergories which are,
-Combo Based Kenjutsu/Simple Kenjutsu
-Chakra Enhanced Kenjutsu
-Character Bound Kenjutsu.
The First One We will start with is Combo Based Kenjutsu, these techniques are very different from Chakra Based, due to the lack of chakra required to perform them. The gimmick behind how they work is right in the description. Example would be (Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique, it says the user does a *sequence* of slashes, which is where your freeform will come in, as it can range from 4-9 or 7-20 slashes making it safe to say you have a sorta passive amount of slashes, couple with a speedy charater, you have a dangerous combo on her your hands. In the term simple kenjutsu are minor techniques that can be added to your combos usually as a finisher. Here is the list of these techniques -

Now using any of the techniques mentioned(besides the Cloud Kenjutsu) and perform 3 separate moves in one post, using some of the hints I mentioned, also any questions?
*I see a clone standing mid-range from, I have a katana on my left and I run towards him while having my left hand on top of the hilt so that once I get in short range of the clone strike him. Once I get in short range of the clone I plant my left foot in front of my right foot, stopping from running and I grab my katana with my left hand. Once I have a hold of my katana, I spin while at the same time striking the clone. I continue to spin rapidly while cutting the clone, I then stop spinning and I place my right hand on the hilt of the sword, now that I have both hands on the sword I raise the sword over my head and I drop it whilst holding it, just letting the weight of the sword drop, cutting the clone's head in two, making it go poof*

Another clone is standing close to me, so I take off towards him and I jump before getting to him and above him. Once I'm in the air and above the clone I take my sword and I hold it with both hands, while pointing the tip of the sword downwards.

So this is similar to taijutsu were the techniques can mostly be performed in free form and of course one has be on point with their descriptions. I have a simple question, do you advise to state what type of slashes I perform, this techniques seem simple.
