I place my left hand on the scabbard with my thumb pressed against the Tsuba. My right hand is on the hilt. I push the tsuba with my left thumb to unsheathed the blade, and then I pull the katana out of the scabbard fully with my right hand and raise it above my right shoulder in a quick motion. The blade is facing forwards, and then I perform a diagonal slash as I swing my arm/blade across my body. Once I am done I pull my katana back to the right side swiftly, simultaneously, I quickly flick the blade to resemble flicking the blood off the sword. I change my hold to a reverse grip and then place it back into the scabbard. I then return to my original form.

I achieve the basic stance thatand keep my hands in the perfect positions to perform the strike. My right hand is on the hilt, and I push the tsuba with my left thumb so that it is only slightly unsheathed. As that is done I pull the katana out of the scabbard fully with my right hand as I raise it above my right shoulder and quickly move into a diagonal slash. All my movements are flowing into the other easily. After the slash I immediately pull the katana back to the right side swiftly as I flick the blade to resemble flicking the blood off the sword. I change my hold to a reverse grip and then place it back into the scabbard. I then return to my original form.

After finishing the move with great fluidity I focus on achieving an even greater speed, and fluidity. Again, my left hand is on the scabbard with my thumb pressed against the Tsuba. My right hand is on the hilt. I push the tsuba with my left thumb so that it is only slightly unsheathed. Then in what seems like one motion rather than a sequence of steps, I pull the katana out of the scabbard fully with my right hand and raise it over my shoulder which flows into a fast diagonal strike with blinding speeds. I flick the sword to my right and sheathe it until it should be drawn again

First, Kirioroshi (Makkōgiri):
Starting in our basic fighting stance I bring my “sword” above my head, and perform a fairly basic slash by bringing the sword down with all great strength. I aim for where the head would be, and visualize the strike going through. I return to the basic stance we learned in the beginning.

Second, Migi Kesagiri:

I raise the sword above my head and move the blade towards the right in a subtle manner. This time I bring thesword towards their left shoulder and neck area which guides the blade diagonally. I follow through with the slash exhaling as I complete the strike, and then Ireturn to the basic stance.

Third, Hidari Kesagiri:
I move the blade above my head, and almost mirror my movements from my last strike. I move the blade toward the left and then swing it down toward the enemies right neck/shoulder area which brings the blade down diagonally. I return to the basic stance we learned earlier.

Fourth, Migi Ichimonji:
I visualize the enemy, and focus in on his core or trunk. I inhale and exhale as I cut the enemy from the right all the way to his left at 180 degrees. (Straightline). I return the basic starting stance.

Fifth, HidariIchimonji:
I repeat the strike that I performed earlier by inverting my movements. I inhale, and then exhale as I swing the blade from left, and slash the blade toward right as I cut the core of the enemy. I return to the basic stance.

Sixth, Migi Gyakugesa
Much like the normal diagonal slash I understand that I will have to angle my blade. I hone in on the torso of the enemy. Coming from the right I angle my blade upward to the left towards the torso and perform an upward diagonal slash. I quickly return to the basic fighting stance.

Seventh, Hidari Gyakugesa:
Aiming at the torso of the enemy again I start from the inverted position and bring my blade upward to the right from my left in order to perform another diagonal slash. I return to my basic stance.

Eighth, Tsuki:
Finally I visualize the enemy/dummy and then I quickly strike like a viper as I thrust my sword in the chest of the enemy. I practice this strike a few more times on the enemy’s vital areas to work on the accuracy of such a pinpointed strike. @_@ what's next......

Good now the next one:

(Iaigiri) - Iai Beheading Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user using the art of Iaido to quickly draw their katana will then uses both hands to create a downward slash, thus cutting the opponent. This jutsu was strong enough to cut Hanzo's salamander Ibuse head clean open. (The speed of the technique depends upon the users rank meaning the higher the rank the quicker the user can perform the technique)
Note: Can only be used by samurai biographies

Now using the same Chudan no kamae stance placing your left hand on the scabbard and your right hand on hilt and by pressing your thumb up to lightly unsheave the katana follow up with unsheaving it completely in a quick mannor as you have now learnt to do iaido with speed and then raise the katana above your head directly and grab hold of the hilt with your left hand and dring the katana down swiftly cutting down the center of that bamboo cane. then as same with the general iaido a swift and quick flick of the katana to your right hand side to represent the removal of the blood and then finish resheaving the katana.

I get in the Chudan no kamae stance I learned earlier and I place my left hand on the scabbard of my blade, and then I place my right hand on the hilt with my thumb pressed on the tsuba to slightly unsheave the katana. Right after this I quickly unsheave it completely in one extremely fast motion as I smoothly flow into rising the katana above my head. I grab a hold of the hilt with my left hand and swiftly strike down the bamboo cane's center with great precision and then flick the blade to my right sight in an act of blood removal before sheathing my sword and releasing a deep breath.

Annd we are done! Consider the last two free as a token of apologize for my lateness and since they are just more extensions of Iaido
Cool and thanks. Don't worry about it as I was late as well. The student is just as responsible for replies, and I'm very paitiens. (took me 2 years to learn basic kenjutsu. >_>)
