I was raised by the way of the sword sensai. My father and his father before him lived and died for the blade. I not only want to learn the ways of kenjutsu to honor my father in his afterlife but I want to honor myself as well. I am willing to do the same as my father and that is To live and die by the sword.

Can't say I blame you with your reason of learning kenjutsu.

Now Kenjutsu is all about sword actions. First to learn off in learning kenjutsu is to learn the actions.

  • Vertical Slash: Vertical Slash is a slash that goes from up to down or down to up.
  • Horizontal Slash: Horizontal Slash is a slash that goes from left to right or right to left
  • Diagonal Slash: Diagonal Slash is a slash that does from one shoulder to your hip or from your hip to your shoulder.
  • Slab/Thrust: Stab/Thrust is an action that the user does a lung(which is one you thrust forward without moving or moving one leg forward) and thrust the sword forward with blade tipped forward.

    Any questions you like to ask?

Are you able to create flourishes or combos by combining these basic techniques? Other than that I understand up to this point sensai.

Well that is my lil bro(not really lol) Aoi who is a good dude and will most likely train you in the way of the samurai.

Well actually you can combined some of these basic things. How about you try some combos, try at less three different combos.

With one handed swordplay you are alot quicker but not as balanced, also with two handed swordplay your body is more stable with your weapon but your range of attack lessens sensai.

Okay and with kenjutsu you must also know that one hand is faster then two hand. Now try your combos over with more description on which way you are swinging and how many hands.
