Its cool man. LOL, Well to be totally honest ive been dragging this sword with me like im a skilled swordsman and well right now its just dead weight cause I don't know how to use it. I plan on defeating one of the 7 swordsman of the mist and take their sword then I will be one of the swordman but I'd like to know how to use one if I shall be considered the greatest swordman in the ninja world.

Hm, a nice RP reply. However, I'd like to see look at your sword in a more appreciative way. Take hold of the weapon for a moment - this is something you kill with, defend yourself with, protect others with...and with possession of such a vital tool, how might you feel?

Hmmm...this sword is an extension of myself physically as well as an extention spirtually. It is as valuable as a comrade in battle...It's almost a partner or friend. It has the ability to carry my will without question and even if im long gone my will and past experiences would be instilled into this blade many years after. I guess you could say this sword is my most trusted companion.

You are completely correct. It will save you before death, it will be the last companion besides you as you pass away. It is your experience and your memory, a symbol of you.

Now, you will take out your sword and proceed to hold it and form a stance for me.
Describe the action taken.

I unsheath my sword fro its case by reaching across my body with my right hand then pulling it again across my body to hold it out in front. I grasp the handle with my right hand at the top and my left hand at the bottom with my arms extended somwhat at a downward 45 degree angle. My knees are bent and my legs are spaced apart to give me good balance and agility. I await further instuction.

Very standard stance, neither defensive or offensive. Excellent. You can quickly assume a stance you may need during battle with this.

Given your current position, I want you to strike my clone with a single handed strike, targeting what you believe would be a fatal blow to any given opponent.

In my current position I gaze upon the clone and vision the strike ahead and the targeted point of the body. Without giving clue as to where I would strike I inhale and then in a quick and sudden motion I flip the blade so that it is now facing an almost horizontal direction as I perform a strike by swinging the blade from the left side to the right side of my body through the clones neck holding the blade tightly with my right hand. I lean forward just a bit extending my left leg more and bending my right. I quickly reassume my standard stance awaiting further instruction.

Excellent posture and remembering to breath before a move - certainly didn't expect you to apply a chi technique here. I'll assume you're left-handed from your stance alone, be sure to state which hand you use to hold the blade during fights.

Now, proceed to perform for me a two-handed strike. Be sure to focus.

(Will do ^^)
I assume my basic stance as I look upon the opponent. I focus on the move ahead while making sure not to telegraph my own thoughts. Gripping my sword tightly with both hands I inhale and then raise my sword above my head only to quickly bring it down exhaling as I make a downward slash which would split the clone in two as it disappears. The two consecutive motions flowed together and was done rather quickly. It was a standard type of two handed strike and it was easy to re assume my previous stance.

Well done. Make sure that when you grip your sword, you take note of the position your hands are in (dominant on the top or the bottom? Hands on top of one another?) Don't forget to further state where you aim at your opponent when you slash down, it could be anywhere from the top of his head to his chest itself.

Given that you've executed the basic two types of sword swings, what might be some major differences and appropriate circumstances of when to utilize either one?

A single handed strike has less force behind it but it can cover a wider range of motion (wrist and arms less restricted). Good for wide arcing attacks and also leaves your other hand free for combat in case you need it. Also might allow for quicker strikes if you are aiming for multiple strikes that is.

Two handed strikes have greater force and is good for trying to overpower an enemy or to defend as you can brace their force by holding on with two hands. However the arms are somewhat restricted the motion of the other and although the strikes arent slow they are less agile and quick than single hand strikes.

Excellent, you covered essentially everything. Two-handed strikes also has more body weight pulled in, so it would be more risky as well, but they are definitely the stronger attack.

Given that we've gone over the basics, let's try to put them in motion now.
Focus your eyes upon my clone, gauge the distance between him and yourself. Adapting an appropriate stance, proceed to then close the distance and strike him with as many slashes as you can. These can either be one or two-handed. Once you believe you've reached the pinnacle of damage done, finish up off with one final, powerful strike.

I gaze upon the clone thinking moves ahead accounting for everything. The distance between us, his ample time to counter, probable counters, my own speed and strike speed. My legs are space apart and I am standing with my left hand on my scabbard and my left hand on the sword handle. I then quickly dash toward my opponent/clone running somewhat low to the ground and at great speed. Once I reach a distance at which my sword can reach that is when I begin my move. Unsheathing my blade and attacking at the same time with a diagnol strike runnin across their chest from the bottom left to theupper right of their torso using my right hand. By continuing the momentum right I can full spin around as I bring my blade up but angle it down so that I go from left upper torso to bottom right torso. My arm would be cocked back a little at the end of a downward slash allowing me to thrust the blade in a stabbing motion with great force. This simple stabbing motion could be executed very quickly in a rain of thrusts. The enemy incapacitated I bring my sword over my head with my right hand at the hilt of the blade and left hand below it. WIth a might force I bring the sword down splitting the enemy in two.

Two left hands? o_o
And excellent description, I literally imagined...
You must be registered for see images
But with a ton of arrows coming out, haha. Nothing to add to this, you did greatly!

Now, this next technique kind of touches on Taijutsu a bit and your own physical power.Begin by running at my clone, executing several swift punches and then finish him off with two slashes of your weapon. Either chose to keep your sword sheathed and use both hands at first, or one hand and the other holding the sword itself. Keep in mind which hand you choose to punch my clone along with your positioning and aim, the aspects I mentioned the previous jutsu.

xD Its a special ability I have. I can use two left hands at once. LMAO my bad man. And that pick....thats exactly what happend 0_0
---------

I begin running toward the clone at pretty good speeds stdying ever detail and possible movement from it. Once I have become in range I begin to attack it with a barrage of rapid punches aimed mainly at the torso. My legs are spaced out and bent allowing me to move quickly if necessary and then as I give my last punch with my left hand I simutaneously unsheathed my sword which was on my left side with my right hand creating a diagnal slash in which I flip my hand and travel that same path in the opposite direction back down dispersing the clone.

A job well done. In any normal circumstance, you will find it hard to pull off this jutsu as you will be likely interrupted before you can complete this entire technique. Normally, close range is dangerous as you will find yourself faced off against Taijutsu masters or Gentle Fist users, so be wary as the nearer you are to your opponent, the less time you have to react to swift techniques.

Now, my clone will be formed about ten meters away from me - this is essentially to allow you a running start. After building up enough momentum, I'd like you time your jump perfectly so that when you are on top of my clone, you are able to draw your sword and point it blade tip down towards him so that you are able to strike him clean through when gravity overtakes you and you drop to the ground.
