Couldn't have done it better myself U_U
Now tell me everything you know about Kenjutsu.
And then tell me what it is to you.

Kenjutsu is considered to be the art of the sword. A sword is a weapon used to cut things and it can be very deadly if used properly. Kenjutsu techniques are mostly used by Samurai's and they are known to be masters of Kenjutsu. They can also be combined with Taijutsu and Ninjutsu and even with our own chakra.
To me, Kenjutsu is the beginning of everything. It's a truly unique technique and it reveals real masters. It's not about nuking the opponent with a ton of S-Ranked jutsus in order to win. It's a very quick and agile type of fight and requires a lot of concentration.

As for the first part, I;m only going to teach you regular free form kenjutsu, without involving chakra.
Now, just a few more questions before we begin.
Even though we'll be using bokken for this training, do you think you've had enough practice to know what kind of sword you prefer? Like, a longsword, a katana, a nadochi, etc? Different swords will make an impact on how you'll fight in the future, although this training is pretty universal.
But, regardless, before we begin, can you tell me what the differences between a one-handed strike and a two-handed strike might be, besides the obvious?

Well, I'm sure I'll be using my Katana mostly but I might also use my CW which is a 50 inches long blade and can be used with one hand.
From what I know from playing different games I found out that a two-handed strike is much stronger than a one-handed and I also believe that it's more precise. One-handed strikes, on the other hand, are much faster. Two hands are mostly used for big and heavy swords which also affects the speed of the strike.

Alright, it's not of too much importance, since this training is pretty universal. It's just to see what you prefer, since using different blades have a different impact on your battles in the future.
Well, thats part of it..
With one hand on the blade, you don't have as much power, but you can give faster attacks, and you also have more freedom with your blade. You're able to make movements you wouldn't be able to when both arms have to go the same direction, and you can chain from one attack into the other, faster, most of the time.
Two-handed attacks are much more powerful, have much higher directional control, and a much faster striking speed, due to the additional force behind the blade, but you don't have as much moving freedom.
With this in mind, we'll begin the actual training portion.*Throws you a bokken.*
Lets start off with a One-Handed Horizontal Strike.
Horizontal strikes go merely from side to side. Left-Right, or Right to Left.
So I'd like you to do one of those for me first

Good, now onto One Handed-Vertical Strikes.
They're basically the same as horizontal slashes, except they're from up to down.
So perform one of those

A stab. That would be when we thrust our weapon into our enemy, trying to deal damage directly, without swinging our weapon.
Hm, it could be very useful with sneak attacks. I also think it takes a very short period of time to perform a stab.

Yesh, that's fine.
Now, show me a stab, by performing it on the dummy over here

Sure.
I walk over to that dummy and thrust my hand towards the clone, holding my bokken. I aim at his abdomen. As I quickly force my hand to move forward I stab him with the bokken I'm holding.

Ok good.
Now, since earlier we distinguished the difference between a One Handed and Two Handed Slash , I'd like for you to perform a Two Handed Horizontal Slash on the training dummy.

*I take the handle of my bokken with both my hands and make a powerful swing from my right side, towards the left side, while aiming at the training dummy; As I swing the bokken I hit the dummy in its neck as I'd do if I tried to cut my opponents head of*
