Zero & Oro met Gamadalf along the way, his size was too great they had to go around him, please wait five hours.
I expect myself to become much more knowledgeable about close range battle by learning kenjutsu, kenjutsu is the way of the sword and I personally like battling using a sword and therefor I have already participated in many kenjutsu battles till now, I am presently a decent sword user but I want to become one of the best and knowledgeable guy, I expect you to train me in detail and depth so that I can clearly understand every move of my opponent and counter it accordingly, I would also expect you to train in me in how we should begin a kenjutsu/taijutsu battle properly because what I have learned from my experience is that the first move is very important.

Honeestly I suck at close range fighting(kinda ironic since I have a Hyuga) but I love swords and hopefully this training will give me more knowledge and skill for close range combat plus I kinda plan on incorperating Jyuken into Kenjutsu. I expect you to not just be like "oh here is the technique describe it and move on" but to explainn the fundementals of Kenjutsu Kenjutsu and break down the usage of techniques a jutsu, also to teach the proper usage of a sword and also to give me some awesome sword afterward XD.

This is every canon Kenjutsu technique you can learn without having an instructor from Kumogakure. While the both of you are from Kumogakure and will probably learn the rest at some point; know that they're on about the same 'level' when it comes to general usefulness and creativity of description.
Tell me; are these techniques the ones that will save your life in battle? Why, why not?
No, according to me they are not life saving techniques instead they are life taking techniques in a kenjutsu battle one cannot afford to go lenient on his opponent and they do say offense is the best defense, I don't know if I got it right but in a ken battle you should go all out on your opponent though still play it calmly and keep your cool and should not loose are mind, In my opinion all these technique are offensive in nature and thus that is how we should use them, by being offensive but of course there are some times when we need to be defensive and that is where are creativity jumps in though I will normally use a free form way to deal with my opponent but if in a ken only battle he starts by shooting a chakra wave at me then and I at mid range from him [crimson wave jutsu], I can either avoid it by going out of it's range or by moving out of it's path but in this method I have to very descriptive about my moves or I can simply shoot an another beam to nullify quick and easy.
The point is it all depend's how you see a ken battle, personally I like a ken battle when metal smashes with metal and thus will never use slicing crimson wave in first place, I don't know where I got by writing all this but the main point is that I don't see them as defensive techs but I see them as offensive techs but during the time of need we can use are imagination and work out ways with it.

To me they can be both life saving and life taking it all depends on how you use them... For instance if your opponent somehow gets you in mid air you would redirect your weight and use "Falling Water and that could be considered a life saver. But at the same time if you are using kenjutsu you most likely arent trying to be flashy or show offy but instead are trying to completely end your opponent I am more of a defensive fighter so I could probably turn most of these techniques into some form of defence in a Kenjutsu battle especially close range battles. But at the same time these only go up to B Rank so they probably wont do much against most opponents since most people spam high level techniques
I feel like you're both just making stuff up to please me, the evil overlord.
Let's play a game instead; come at me running. Individually. Rate each other's attacks and use the Kenjutsu techniques alongside freeform.
No.*Arrives* Alrighty, kenjutsu
I start to run towards you while unsheathing my sword using my right hand, as I am about to approach you I even bring in my left hand near the hilt of the sword and now hold the sword with both my hands, I now hold my sword right in front of my face and as I close in the distance between us I perform a diagonal slash from right to left and from top to bottom, I at all times keep an eye on your action so as to change my attack patter accordingly.
You must be registered for see images
Why didn't you just grip the sword with both hands to begin with? Defend your decision.
Right in front of your face? Alright, but at what angle and at what height?
Your slash is fine, but considering the way you held the sword before you slashed... just try and imagine that slash. Now, I'm pretty sure you intended to raise the sword above your head and perform that downwards-going diagonal slash, but your attack lacked that part. According to your move; you simply hold the sword in front of your face and slash.
Try again. Use a little trick of mine: attempt to actually perform the attack in RL using your own description as a guide.

*I draw my sword from my right hip with ly left hand and firmly grip the sword with both hands running towards you with the sword downwards pointing dragging along the dirt, as I get closer to you I quickly use the sword to quickly upward slash it upwards causing dust to go into your eyes as you would instictly close your eyes I slash downwards diagnally from left to right down your chest from your right shoulder to just below your rib cage under your heart*
I take out my sword from it's sheath and grab it using both my hands, I then start to run towards while shifting the sword towards my right side as I quickly close in the distance between us I start to look for an opportunity to attack you, as I am now about to reach I take a long stride forward and jump towards you at great while lifting my sword high in the air though still towards my right, this rather sudden action [the jump] takes you by surprise and as soon as you get with in the range of my sword I perform a diagonal slash from top to bottom and from moving right to left, the slash proceeds as I gradually descends towards the ground.
How large is the point of a sword? Unless you're in a desert; your tactic won't work. I like the thought of a distraction followed by a powerful attack though, so your mind's in the right place. However; you've left yourself wide open.
"As you charge towards me, I unsheathe my sword with my left hand, holding it vertically, point downwards against my left (pretty self-evident, but it's always nice to close the gaps) side." - This is my stance now, for future reference.
Now personally, I'm not the most 'graceful' fighter when it comes to describing my moves. If you read Kenjutsu-matches where either Gin-San, KeotsuEclipse or Nirvana fights, you'll notice how their description-styles seem to 'flow'. While the most important thing about a descriptions is how precise and understandable it is; making your moves 'flow' is a trait of a true master. Compared to those guys, I'm a crude brute and you're ickle firsties.
Now, the offensive portion of your move consists of two important motions: your upwards-going slash and your downwards-going diagonal slash. The fact that both your hands are occupied can be a good thing; it means that your strikes are faster and more powerful, but it also means that you can't use them for other things.
Say I avoid what little dust you may flare up simply by squinting my eyes, then what? By raising your sword with both hands you've exposed your waist, abdomen and chest to attacks from any and all directions. I don't need raw power to redirect your strike; I simply have to raise my blade diagonally upwards and let your sword slide off the edge of mine. That's one hand. Now, where do you think my other hand might be going while you're defenseless?
Heck, while you're in the middle of raising your blade I might as well whip my blade forwards and bury it in your abdomen, or slash you diagonally upwards across the chest.
My possibilities are endless because your attack consists of two movements while in range of my inevitable counter-attack.
Whenever possible; attack in a single movement when you get in range.
Try again. There's potential here.
How do you know? One important thing is to never ever state how your opponent reacts in any way. Same goes to you, Oro. You can't make me close my eyes. You can inform me that it's a natural reaction, but your wording implies that I'm forced to do it. Don't.
Don't jump. Don't ever, ever jump. When both your feet leave the ground; you're toast. You can't maneuver in mid-air no matter how good you are. Your jump makes my possibilities endless. I can step away from your range and then bounce back in as you land, but that'd be a mercy. You can't step backwards. Your jump is a contract and you've committed your body and soul to it. All I need to do is deflect your strike and bury my fist in your gut; that's all it takes.
Try again. I know you guys can do this.
