Learning the art of sword play with ruiz

[Anduril]

Ok i await Ruiz sempais arrival with a marvelous pair of dual swords in my hands.........standing the soft and mild wind flowing across the grassland!!

 

[Mockingbird]

Ok, do you have a custom jutsu for these swords, or are they just regular long swords?

 

[Anduril]

Regular long swords first i thought i would learn to weild a normal sword then go for the customs!!!

 

[Mockingbird]

Alright.

Now this training session will consist of two parts..

Part 1: I will show you all the free hand Kenjutsu moves, and show you how to use your blade in combat.

Part 2: I will conduct a Kenjutsu spar, in which we will fight with our swords free hand only, no jutsu allowed. Once you've shown understanding of how to use your blade in a fight, the training will be over.

Understood?

Yay sempai ruiz!!

 

[Mockingbird]

Lol, ok..

Part 1 beginning now.

My bad, i forgot something

Tell me all you know about Kenjutsu xd

Then...

Now, begin with shoulder strikes. Do them 100 times on the training dummy
*shows you motion*
The reason you have to do this so many times is because of muscle memory, so that when in a fight, your muscles will remember the movements, and it will feel like natural movements.

 

[Anduril]

Hai sempai!!
What is kenjutsu?
Kenjutsu is the art of any fighting that involves the use of sword the term is general classification of all the techniques that involve the use of sword.

What good is kenjutsu for a shinobi?
Kenjutsu basically is the most important in the life of a samurai but it is important if the shinobi wants to continuously weild a like a sword. Also for a shinobi a good deadly first strike is important in which case a sword would be really useful.

 

[Mockingbird]

Good, but now do the other thing i asked xd
The shoulder strikes

 

[Anduril]

Oh i forgot about them strikes ok so i pick up my sword and then start the shoulder strikes on the dummy
Me : "If i get a strike wrong i will do 200 more strikes"
i keep this up and consequently end up doing 2000 strikes with the dummy laying to bits and my shoulders aching i slump on the ground waiting for sempais next command!!

 

[Mockingbird]

Ok, don't over work yourself lol, because theres alot more of that left.

Now do hand swicthes, it important for a swordsmen to be good with both hands. Do 50 strikes with your dominant hand, and then another 50 with the other.

*shows you motion*

 

[Anduril]

Wow ok so i now quickly create a new training dummy out of the earth and then start making the switches and i make 100 strikes with my right hand that is my dominant hand and then switch the weapon and then make more 70 strikes with my left hand and this seems to be a lot harder hence i make only 70.
Phew...
sempai i wanna be a dual sword weilder are there any jutsus for duel swords?

 

[Mockingbird]

Nope, you have to make custom jutsu for em

Again, dont over work yourself, or you wont make it through training Just do as many as i say ok?

Now do a low sweep from left to right, and then from right to left. 100 times each. *shows you motion*

 

[Anduril]

Ok watches the motion shown by sempai carefully and then quickly does the lower sweep from left to right 100 times also now switches and now does the lower sweep from right to left another 100 times

 

[Mockingbird]

Now wrist strikes
*shows you motion*

[Anduril]

Ok i now see what the wrist strikes are and then follow what ruiz sempai showed to me and do the wrist strikes a 100 times on the training dummy.

 

[Mockingbird]

Now sword thrusts. Build up pressure and then thrust your sword towards my clone.
*shows you motion*

100 times.

 

[Anduril]

Ok so i pull the sword back and with all my power thrust the sword into your clones guts which goes poof.........

[Mockingbird]
