Where am I?... Fuu pauses and looks around the dojo for a moment. Pretty sure I'm here... Baka-kun.
Fuu then taps one of the seals on her left hand, causing a standar, two-hand Katana to burst into her hand from a puff of smoke.
She then takes a relaxed pose, holding the sword in her left hand, with the blunt side resting up against her left shoulder.
Show me your sword and tell me some things about it.
You want to see my sword Fuukage? Yoshimitsu unsheathes his green sword that is named Yoshimitsu as he grips the handle with his right hand.
I hope it isn't against the rules to have colored swords. >_>
Yoshimitsu is a sword passed down generation to generation from the Manji clan. It has a green tint in it for an unknown reason, but legend has it that the souls of the former wielders are inside of it. Only one side of Yoshimitsu can cut my opponents, as it is not a double edged sword. I usually hold it with one hand since it offers me more versatile stances and speed attacks, albeit at a lack of power attacks that two handed stances offer. It is a medium sized blade, not overly thick or thin.

Fuu nods off, only to startle herself awake again. AWESOME!!!! Fuu exclaimed upon seeing the her students sword It's green! Fuu then paused with a confused look on her face. but I though a Yoshi was a dinosaur? Anyway, we shall move on. Take a stance, placing one foot in front of the other and perform a simple vertical strike, aiming for the head of your imaginary foe.

I hear that line quite a bit to be honest. Yoshimitsu is most definitely not a dinosaur. Yoshimitsu listens to Fuu's instructions, and places his feet shoulder width apart with his left foot in front of his right. In his right hand, his sword Yoshimitsu was gripped. Yoshimitsu brings his right hand behind his head, and while facing the imaginary foe, quickly and forcefully brings his right hand down, while his sword sliced through his imaginary opponent's right shoulder.
How was that Fuukage-sama?

With her sword covered by it's sheath and held firmly in her right hand, for the protection of her student, Fuu step towards her student, tapping aside his blade to the right as he performs the downward strike, before quickly bringing it back across her body (she would have had to tap your blade aside to her left, therefore making her next strike a back-hand attack) to in a horizontal strike, pausing just before it hits Yoshimitsu in the side of the head. One handed strikes are weak and not suitable for slow, telegraphed strikes like that one. With her sword still next to Yoshimitsu's head, Fuu taps his ear before returning her sword to a belt on her left hip. As you could see, one-handed strikes are suitable for quick interference of your opponent's strikes, to perform a simple deflection. That trick would have also worked had you used two hands in that strike, though it would leave you even more open for a follow-up attack. All I had to do, was shift your centre of mass slightly to the side, causing the rest of your body to follow and since my blade was on the inside of yours, I could easily follow through with a quick and deadly strike.
Didn't realise you paid mind to your own Kenjutsu teachings...
Well, seems I picked up more than I thought...
Chomei's thought to Fuu was enough to create a momentary silence between her and Yoshimitsu, hopefully one he didn't notice.
Anyway, do you understand that?
Yoshimitsu pats away the sword next to his head after listening to Fuu. Yes, I get it. If you use two handed strikes it can leave you open to counterattacks. You want to use your opponent's momentum against him and shift his center, throwing off his strike while defending. While attacking you don't want to use slow, simple attacks like I just did and make it so blatantly obvious.

Fuu takes a step backward, making sure to still be in short range, but out of reach of a strike. Show me your sword skills, in a friendly spar. Don't hold back or you might die. As she finished her statement, Fuu let out a cheeky grin as she took a relaxed stance, left hand on the sheath of her blade and right hand on her right hip.
In a friendly spar...ok Fuukage! This is whack, why fight with real swords? I am sure the Fuukage-sensei-super-kami-guru-dono-kun has her reasons... Yoshimitsu slowly takes in a deep breath, then exhales. Placing his right hand on his sword's hilt and his left hand on the sheath, he draws Yoshimitsu out and raises it a little. With Yoshimitsu in hand, Yoshimitsu takes a step towards Fuu whilst bringing his sword down at a vertical angle as his left hand still held onto the sheath if Fuu got nasty in close quarters. If this blow landed, it could cut through Fuu's left trapezius through her spine area.

As Yoshimitsu moves to draw his sword, Fuu raced forward with all her speed, placing for right hand on Yoshimitsu's right elbow, preventing him from drawing his sword. Following this, Fuu drives left knee into Yoshimitsu's rib-cage, dealing minor damage and causing him to stagger back.
You have to use your speed in Kenjutsu, don't waste time with drawing your sword... also, you don't have to use your sword just because someone else is.
Fuu then takes a defensive stance, a few paces away from the staggering Yoshimitsu.
Now come at me with a few slashes, vertical and horizontal slashes... and everything in between. These are meant to be fast and consecutive strikes, therefore they would be one handed strikes utilising quick movements of your wrist to rapidly change direction.
After the quick barrage, come at me with one powerful strike, power being the key... meaning you'll use a two-handed strike...
Fuu's eyes then dart left to right before focusing back on Yoshimitsu.
Well... what are you waiting for?
Before Yoshimitsu can draw his sword, Fuu darted towards him and restricts him from pulling out his sword, and then Yoshimitsu felt a driving, blunt force go right into his ribs. Oof! As Yoshimitsu staggers back, holding his ribcage, Fuu hops back and tells Yoshimitsu to attack her with different slashes. Fine, if you will let me draw my sword that is. Yoshimitsu smirks at his awesome comeback.
As Yoshimitsu watches Fuu, he unsheathes his sword with his right hand, feet shoulder width apart with his right foot just a little ahead of his left, and sword pointed at Fuu, arm outstretched. Yoshimitsu quickly darts at Fuu, and raises his right hand and rotates his wrist a little bit to where he would slash downwardly at Fuu, cutting pretty deep into her right shoulder. He then quickly pulls out the sword and rotates his wrist ninety degrees to the right as he slashes horizontally at Fuu's left arm, cutting it off. Yoshimitsu then decides to target her other shoulder, so he moves his arm to the right, then up, and to the left so he could rotate his wrist ninety degrees to the left as he brings down the sword into Fuu's right shoulder, cutting deeply. Finally, Yoshimitsu grabs his sword with both hands as he pulls out the sword from her shoulder, and rotates his wrists so he could slash to the left, cutting off Fuu's head.

Yoshimitsu quickly unsheathes his sword with his right hand as he watches Fuu, weary of another blitz. Yoshimitsu then darts at Fuu until Yoshimitsu is within striking distance of Fuu then stops and grips his sword tighter and rotates his wrist a little. Yoshimitsu then swings in a huge horizontal arc, from right to left, cutting Fuu in half around her waist. He rotates his wrist 180 degrees to the left and swings horizontally again, cutting Fuu in half again from left to right. Yoshimitsu rotates his wrist once again only enough so that he can cut Fuu diagonally from her waist to her left shoulder. As his sword cleaves through her shoulder, Yoshimitsu rotates his wrist so that he can decapitate Fuu with a quick slice. As her body is falling down, he grips his sword with both hands and vertically slashes Fuu in half, ending his sensei's life.
Sorry Fuukage-dono, nothing personal.

Pretty sure a child could think of a better come back than that...
Intercepting Yoshimitsu's initial strike, Fuu parry's his sword by angling hers in such a way that Yoshimitsu's weapon would glide up and over her head harmlessly, not interrupting the arc of his slash, but not allowing it to make any harmful contact with her. Fuu repeats the motion, but in reverse, to counter his second strike. Not very versatile starting with two horizontal strikes
As Yoshimitsu makes his third slash, Fuu leans her body out of the strike line, using her sword as a barrier between her and Yoshimitsu's blade, allowing the latter to once again harmlessly slide up the length of her katana, not interrupting the strike, but preventing her from getting hit.
Before Yoshimutsu can grab hold if his katana with he second hand, Fuu lashes out with two kick jabs from her left hand, aimed at Yoshimitsu's neck, stunning him long enough to strike him on the left shoulder and then in the left rib-cage with her sheathed weapon.
Very good, though starting with diagonal strikes would be better, ones without such a wide arc so you have a better change to react. What I just has you perform, was known as the Sword Barrage Technique, what I just used at the end there, was the Fury Swallow Technique. Any questions?

Yoshimitsu feels two different punches connect to his neck. They were not meant to overly harm him, but they did sting and halt his movement. He then feels a very hurtful sting on his shoulder and ribcage, so he yelps out. Ouch! No questions here, but maybe you shouldn't be so rough Amekage-dono.

Yoshimitsu extends his arm out as Fuu tosses him the scroll. Yoshimitsu catches it with his right hand and opens it up, looking at the diagram. Hmm, this seems pretty easy. I will see what I can do. Yoshimitsu throws the scroll up in the air as the clones converge on him. As the scroll keeps going up, Yoshimitsu grabs his sword with his left hand, and extends his left hand with the blade outstretched. He quickly spins three hundred and sixty degrees, making sure he hit most of the clones converging on him with the outstretched blade. As he finished spinning, he raises his right arm in the air and catches the scroll he threw up earlier. He examines the last kenjutsu technique. This also seems relatively simple. Let's see if I can dispatch of that last clone real right quick. Yoshimitsu jumps in the air as he grabs his sword with two hands. As Yoshimitsu hits his max vertical, he rotates the sword to where the point is facing the clone. He starts falling to the ground and the blade enters the clone's skull as it poofs away. Not too bad, not too bad at all...
Some ways to improve my kenjutsu techniques I used? Well, I would imagine if I used two hands instead of one on the Enjin Ranbu, I would have had an easier time cutting through a real opponent. If I had a better base and used my pivot foot, I would have gained more momentum. The other technique I felt as if I couldn't execute any better. To improve on my kenjutsu in general...well, I would imagine a nice stance, a firm but not too tight grip, and footwork are crucial. Making sure your wrists bend in the appropriate angles are very important as well. But other than that, I wouldn't know.
