Good. Chakra doesn't have to be used in kenjutsu. It can just be your sword. Now, most kenjutsu is done in free form as well, instead of using techniques. Can you explain to me what free-form Kenjutsu is?

 

[Excālibur1]

Free-Form Kenjutsu

Sword Style which is not specified in any Jutsu list is known as Free-Form Kenjutsu. The user uses the Sword in any way he wishes. The movement of our body and the Sword should be explained well so that it makes sense. Free-Form can only be used to avoid some normal Sword Jutsus. It can be effective since we can use the Sword in the way of fighting we want.

So for example, let's say that.

Sai has a sword in his hand, then he runs towards the opponent and jumps in the air and aims at the opponents hand. Then he brings his sword down at his hand at a fast rate. In the split second, the opponent's hand got slashed, it got separated from the opponent's body.​

Correct. Free-form is just describing your movements and attacks without the use of an actual technique.

-throws you a katana-

Catch and hold it.

 

[Excālibur1]

Sai notices Selendrile Sensei throwing a Katana towards me. Then when the Katana is near me, i catch hold of it and starts to examine the Katana.​

Your first lesson in Kenjutsu, and physical combat in general. Be specific! You catch it...okay. In what position are your hands currently at? How are your feet placed?

 

[Excālibur1]

My feet are far away from each other. There is a wide gap between them. My right hand is placed on the upper most handle of the sword while my left hand is placed at the lower end of the handle.​

Great. Now, perform a descending vertical slash on this dummy over here.

 

[Excālibur1]

I notice the Dummy which is few meters away from me. Seeing the Dummy, I charge towards it. Then when i am near it, I raise my Sword up in the air and slashes from up to down vertically cutting the Dummy in half.​

Good! Now try a horizontal slash. In which direction is up to you.

-places hundreds on dummies on the field to use later-

 

[Excālibur1]

I look at Selendrile Sensei placing 100 Dummies. When he finished placing them, i target one dummy out of hundred. Then holding the sword in the same stance, I charge towards the Dummy and crouches a little and slashes the dummy from right to left at the chest causing a long scar on the Dummy's chest. I again head towards the same Dummy and slashes from left to right cutting the Dummy in half.

Sai: 99 Dummies Left =D​

Good.

I unsheathe my katana, holding it in my left hand. I quickly step forward with my left leg and perform a forward thrust aimed at your sternum.

Defend against this.

 

[Excālibur1]

I notice my Sensei unsheathing his Katana and getting alerted by that, I stand in my Sword Stance. When Sensei does a forward thrust and aims at my chest, I quickly place my sword side ways so that the Katana attack is blocked.​

Side ways... is rather unclear. Be more specific!

 

[Excālibur1]

I notice my Sensei unsheathing his Katana and getting alerted by that, I stand in my Sword Stance. When Sensei does a forward thrust and aims at my chest, I quickly place my sword near my chest horizontally where Sensei aimed to attack. The slash from the Sensei's Katana was blocked.​

What type of attack did you assume I performed?

 

[Excālibur1]

I assumed you would do a Vertical Slash and that's why I placed my Sword Horizontally to block your Katana.​

What do you picture a forward thrust as?
