Castiel walks up to the training field, he sees the young boy standing there. Castiel then stops once he is close enough to the boy and then proceeds to say: "Hello, my name is Castiel; you can call me either Castiel, or sensei. Up to you. But first what is your name?"

Sees a stranger approaching. Grabbing my katana with my left hand - The stranger starts talking, "Hello, my name is Castiel; you can call me either Castiel, or sensei. Up to you. But first what is your name?" - Saito thinking - "Oh, so this is my sensei, I better show some manners.". Stands up, walking slowly towards Castiel. "Hello Castiel. Nice to meet you. My name is Saito, I requested Kenjutsu training, looking forward to it, sir.

@ Nathan? Remember the old days? When you asked me, "Come lets start RPing?"

As I am standing infront of you, I raise my sword and show it to you. "Well as you can see Castiel. I own a sword that I can not use properly. So I need to learn Kenjutsu which also means sword technique to be able to flow my chakra right into my sword and make it a part of me. Well that is at least my goal for the begining of our training. I kept trying to master the ability to flow my chakra into my sword, a while ago, but it did not seem to work, so can you teach me how to do it Castiel?"

OOC - If I had stayed since the time we met, I would have been teaching people right now. Man lets get this training going. I am eager to learn.

"Kenjutsu is the learning of sword techniques or the method of the sword. You can learn how to master the use of a sword. Kenjutsu gives you the ability to master different techniques that combines you and your sword into one. Making your sword a piece of your body. This gives the user that is using Kenjutsu a much better fighting quality with a sword. Kenjutsu techniques are effective movements of the weapon and footwork, however swinging a heavy sword around increases body strength and flexibility as well."

"Good, I like that, I like that a lot.

Okay now I want you to attack my clone using your blade, I want you to explain to me while attacking my clone, how you want to go about it, remember to attack him, use creative moves and stances, I need you to be as detailed as you can, like you're trying to kill my clone. GO!"

While we're standing infront of each other. You suddenly create a clone. Your clone is standing a few meters away from you.

"So you want me to destroy your clone, with my sword? Alright Castiel. Keep a good eye on my movements. This might go a bit fast" - While I am right infront of you, I switch my standing towards your clone. I hold my Katana with both hands. My left hand holding the upper spot of the grip, and my right holding the lower spot of the grip. Holding with both hands will give me a stronger and much heavier strike on the clone. While I am holding my katana, I move my right leg backwards and my left leg a bit forward, at the same time I lean a little bit forward with my upper body. This will give me a steady stance, so I do not get out of balance when I try to strike your clone.

"Check this out Castiel, do not get any sympathy for your clone, imma whoop his ass." - In a instant I take two steps forward, however I am leaning my entire upper body a bit to the left, letting my left leg carry must of my body weight, so I can charge for deadly strike. I am only using my right leg to keep myself in balance. As my katana starts moving its direction towards your clone, my arms starts moving a little bit backwards, creating space so I can make a stronger strike. The katana is currently next to my left shoulder. As I am ready to finish off your clone, I focus all my strenght on my upper body, tensing all the muscles and finishing with a strike towards the throat of the clone.

That was good, good amount of detail well done.

So techniques time, but first what would you like to use the first method, or the template?

So idea is simple, I will post the techniques and I will ask you to analyse them for me, for example: how to use it in battle, how to counter it, what is good about this technique (pros), what is bad about it (cons), what you like about it and etc. I think you pretty much get what I mean. The "How to perform" - part is a bit, not needed for, but you are more than welcome to perform it, if you don't understand the technique. It's better if we focus on the important things, like actually analysing the whole technique and knowing how to use it in a fight. Only filling the template is boring and sometimes not fun. I want to make this training as enjoyable as I can, I know templates can be boring and dull at times.

Something below are basic guidelines to use:

Example of points for every technique
+ How to be used in a battle
+ How to be countered in a battle
+ Some advantages and disadvantages
+ Your personal opinion about the technique

Do you have any questions about method?

Or you can chose to use this template:

PHP:
[CODE][B]One/three advantages:[/B]
[LIST]
[*]1. 
[*]2.
[*]3.
[*]
[/LIST]
[B]One/three disadvantages:[/B]
[LIST]
[*]1. 
[*]2.
[*]3.
[*]
[/LIST]
[B]How you would use it in battle:[/B]
[B]How you would counter it:[/B]
[B]How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):[/B][/CODE]
Your choice. ^^

Well as you stated. I think it's much more important to learn how to analyse techniques than being able to perform them. Performing a technique usually goes by: "I do the handseals - Focuses charka - bla bla bla" - Which basically what you all the time, but with a different technique. To be honest I prefare the basic guidelines. The template is unnecessary if you ask me. However if we do the basic guidelines, you can ask me to perform a few technique during our training, if you'd like it.

Alright then!

I'll post the first technique now:

(Ken Rendan no Jutsu) - Sword Barrage Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing liberal damage to their enemy.

Pretty much all you have to do is, get in close and take out your sword, deal about 5 or so slashes in any direction on your targets body; once you have completed and dealt the slashes, deal a powerful final slash where ever you want, I would personally use the make the final strike down the middle of his body.

"I will start analying the technique Castiel. However I will answer them in the same order:

+ How to be used in a battle

Basically do as you're told in the description.

+ How to be countered in a battle

This technique can easily be countered during a battle. Must likely all the elements will kick your ass, since you're really up-close when performing this technique.

+ Some advantages and disadvantages

Advantages - Combine the technique with lightning element. Use lightning on your katana, so everytime you hit the enemy, and he tries to defend himself with his own Katana, he will get paralysed.

Disadvantages - It's a short ranged technique, which means you have to be REALLY close to your enemy, so this is very dangerous since must of the elements can counter it.

+ Your personal opinion about the technique

I do not like this technique at all. It's way to risky. If you get really close to an enemy the person can basically finish you off with the basic elements. The person could also defend himself using his own Katana with lightning and paralyse yourself. Well the only way it could come in handy... Would be like... If you had somehow trapped your enemy, so he or she was stuck or something, then it would be able to use."

Alright.

How to use it in a battle, I would like your view on how you would use it.

Advantages - Combine the technique with lightning element. Use lightning on your katana, so everytime you hit the enemy, and he tries to defend himself with his own Katana, he will get paralysed.

Disadvantages - It's a short ranged technique, which means you have to be REALLY close to your enemy, so this is very dangerous since must of the elements can counter it.

First: That isn't an advantage to the technique, that is enhancing the technique to make it better. I want an advantage on how you think the technique is good.

Second: Disadvantage, what you said is pretty much a counter. Just think on if you were battling someone else that uses close quarter combat, like taijutsu, or kenjutsu.

You are relying on the basic elements too much, kenjutsu can be quite powerful against yes even the elements if you know how to correctly use them.

"Ah, let me try that one more time.

+ How to be used in a battle

This technique can be used in a battle when you're fighting against another melee user. You basically attack your enemy with a sequence of slashes.

+ How to be countered in a battle

This technique can easily be countered. Your enemy can jump, hide behind a dust wall or use the mole technique, where you hide underground, from your enemy.

The range is also short - So if your enemy is using elements to fight you, it'd be really hard to perfrom the technique.


+ Some advantages and disadvantages

Advantages - This technique is good when you're fighting against another Kenjutsu user. It can easily get the person off guard. Since you're dealing a few slashes and finishing with a powerful slash. It can easily get the enemy out of balance, which creates an opening.

Disadvantages - This technique does not deal so much damage, even though you're giving your enemy a few slashes and ending with a powerful slash. Using a Doton C - Rank technique deals more than this. Even though we're giving our enemy more than one slash with sword.

Another disadvantage about this technique is that you make a sequence of slashes and finishing with a final slash. The first slashes can easily be dodged, giving your enemy the oppertunity to stop you, before you're dealing the final slash, which is the must powerful. -


+ Your personal opinion about the technique

This technique might come in handy, when you want to get your enemy out of balance. Since you're making a sequence of slashes. Your enemy will easily be pushed away, maybe even fall backwards, since you're ending with a powerful slash. This gives you the oppertunity to finish off your enemy. "

Much better!

Next:

(Ikari Nomikomu no Jutsu) - Fury Swallow Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: The user punches the opponent a few times and finishes them with two final slashes with their blade or sword.

Go towards your target and perform a simple forward punch and repeat the punching for a few times, then once you have completed that, grab out your sword and perform two slashes anyway you want, at your target. This technique is simple yet effective for such a low ranked technique, and can be used in many combos.
