I wish to learn Kenjutsu, because this is one of the main arts i would use in RP besides basic ninjutsu (non elemental). Being able to roleplay really well with characters with weapons, as there are usually really concetrated and precise characters like Byakuya and Sasuke. I also have a Custom Fightning Style i intend to make upon mastering the two. A katanna being my favorite sword and also twin katanna.

Horizantal: The horizantal thrust a basic sword swinging motion. The slashing motin consisting of a left to right swinging motion, being horizantal because of it being similar to how the horizion lies. When used in sword play, it is used in deflecting a motion to ethier repel the opponet when countering to gain space when in combat and counter attack again. It also has a more wide range when in combat, giving the preformer of the horizantal slash a better chance of the landing of a hit. This slash is usally aimed at the waist odf the opponet and used to cut things in half. Can be used with any type of blade that are normal sized. The favorite slash of a users of a long sword.
Vertical: The verticle slash, like the vertical up and down motion. Is used in sword play as a clean slice movement obviosuly not one of the movements that would cover a large portion of the body targeted to be cut. This slash is aided by gravitiy with the inevitable downward movement, being mostly used with buster blades for extreamly powerful killing blows. This also can be enhanced by jumping into the air and coming down on the opponet, the higher the jump the powerfully potent the slash. Usuually aimed at the head, or the center of the human body to cut it in half. Good with big blades like my favored buster blades.
Diagnal: The diagnal slash, a slash that is used in more difficult sitiuations. Used to slash from waist to shoulder, one of the very awkward slashes, but nonetheless another tactic to use during combat although defying the pull of gravity and requires a steady hand and usually preformed with a quick flick of the wrist for the help of the effectiveness of the slash itself. Although is not often done it can be done going from shoulder to waist, which is one that i would prefer over the opposite way. Also usable by the normal sword mostly, not often used by a buster sword because of the swords weight.
Thrust: This movement o the sword otherwise known as the stabbing movement, this is almost always seen as a certain kill movment or a finisher at the end of a combo. Usually aimed in the chest area toward the hear used with extream precision and the user must have an extreamly steady hand to be preformed effectively. This is also favorited by long sword that can kill their opponet taking advantage of the long length of the weapon used overwhleming the opponet with this quick movement can reasult in this clean kill. This movement has to be done at the right time.
I first take out my katanna from the case on my back. I then take a stance and focus my eyes onto the opponet. Looking and then concentrating on the area to attack. I then step forward with my right foot and charge, bearing my sword in both of my hands at the hilt. As i get but a step away from my opponet i then bring my sword up and slash quickly down making a Vertical Slash . I then take a step back and tilt my sword in the the direction of the horizion, lining it up with the midsection of my opponet then quickly step foward and slash Horizantally. Stopping, and taking a moment of pause i then start at my opponet waist section as a ollow up from the horizantal and then bring my sword Diagnally upward all the way up to his left shoulder from the right side of his waist. I then finish by stepping back and concentraing on the cent of my opponet the moving my sword a straigth froward motion with the hit facing me. Thrusting My sword, into his chest and fininshing him off.
