Kenjutsu with Selendrille.

*Waits for Sensei*

 

[Selendrile]

Tell me everything you know about kenjutsu, and who uses it primarily in the series?

 

[Yashiro]

What I know about Kenjutsu: Kenjutsu is when a ninja fuses his chakra into his sword, increasing its slicing and piercing power, also it increases the distance of the attacks than just regularly with a sword, Not so sure about this U_U.

Who Uses Kenjutsu in the N-Series:
The seven ninja swordsmen
All Samurai
Kisame
Mifune
Sasuke
And the proctor of the finals of the chuunin exam, can't remember his name U_U.

That's partly correct. Kenjutsu at its fundamentals refers to the use of a sword. It doesn't have to be enhanced with chakra, although that is one of the options. Most kenjutsu is done in free form as well, instead of using techniques. Can you explain to me what free-form Kenjutsu is?

His name was Hayate Gekko.

 

[Yashiro]

Freeform kenjutsu is when you just fight with regular sword attacks, such as maybe a single swing of the sword from your bottom left to the the top right slashing your opponent across the chest, Here is an example of a kenjutsu freeform attack;

Deidara stands before his opponent at close range with his regular katana in his right and dominant hand, as he is in his special stance his katana is facing down to the ground on his right side with the blade(sharp part) facing behind him, he then lifts his blade up to his left shoulder and takes a swing, bringing it back to its old position while in the process attempts to slash his opponent across the chest.

Is that correct?

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

-throws you a bokuto-

Catch and hold it.

 

[Yashiro]

*Catches the wooden sword*

And holds it upright with both hands, while also taking a firm stance.

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?

 

[Yashiro]

*Catches the wooden sword*

As I catch the sword I take firm grip onto the handle with both hands, I get into a comfortable and firm stance, with my left leg forward and my left knee bend a little and my left foot facing forward, my right leg is slightly slanted but firm and stiff with the side of my right foot facing towards you, The sword is being held in a upright position toward my right shoulder, and I am all ready for action xd.

How are your hands positioned?

 

[Yashiro]

My right hand on top of the handle and my left hand at the bottom

 

[Selendrile]

My right hand on top of the handle and my left hand at the bottom

Great. Now perform a descending, vertical slash.

 

[Yashiro]

As I hold the Bokuto in my hands just beside my head to my right shoulder, I take a swing and slash the sword to the bottom left of my body, by doing this I successfully complete a single vertical descending slash.

Reset, and then perform a horizontal slash from the left to the right.

 

[Yashiro]

Ok, I then take stance again but only this time I switch from right to left, Now I'm holding the sword to my right side, I then lower the sword a little and swing it across from my left to my right side, by doing that I have performed a successful horizontal slash.

Those statements contradict each other.

 

[Yashiro]

Sorry about that bro U_U

I meant from my right to the left xd

I place both of my hands on the hilt, the left stacked on the right. I step forwards, performing a downwards slash aimed for the top of your skull.

I want you to describe a block, and an evasion.

 

[Yashiro]

As I am in stance and ready you perform the slash toward my head, I then quickly hold my sword up horizontally with the side of the sword facing up and as you slash and make contact with my sword I swing it to the right in a quarter round circle formation, I then add some taijutsu for the evasion and kick in the mid section with bottom of my foot with the means to blow you backwards, you are then off guard and covered in dust, so I make my evasion.

I want your defense and evasion to be separate. You defended correctly, now evade.
