So firstly stand straight towards me with your shoulders parallel to your feet. Then place your right foot slightly forwards whilst shuffling it a few paces and not lifting and at the same time shuffle your left foot backwards."

Alright. I shall not fail you U_U
As per your instruction, I stand straight facing you, with my back firm and shoulders parallel to the relaxed feet as I lift my right foot to place it infront while shuffuling the leg a few paces without lifting it .My right foot shuffles as in a rythm with my left foot that is shuffuling backwards.

Is This Enough?​

*Urumi notices the lifting of the foot and after he has done with rest of the move, she hammers the tip of her scabbard on the toes of pradattauchiha.*

Urumi: " Keep that foot on the ground.
Good, and This is the basic posture of a swordsman which eventually,
will become part of your nature and becomes the automatic choice of a stance, in most cases at least.

Now clench your fists and to your sides and the outer hand facing downwards. Then take your left hand placing it onto the scabbard at your left side and taking your right to unsheave your katana, whilst taking a vicegrip at a 45 degree angel at the base of the hilt and unsheave the katana. As you bring it fully out the scabbard bring your left hand taking the same grip to the bottom of the hilt and then level the hilt to your belly at about a fist distance away then raise the blade to point at my throat and keep that stance with the same posture maintaining the square posture of having your shoulders parallel like this diagram below":

As I see your blade near my toes, I calm myself and remain in that position as I clench my fingers and to my side my outer hand, facing downward.I life my left hand to place it on the scabbard, which is kept in the left side and then unsheave my katana from the right while clenching the handle at about 45' at the base of the hilt.As I fully bring it out the scabbard, I bring my left hand taking the same grip to the bottom of the hilt and then level the hilt to my belly at about a fist distance away then raise the blade with my hand on the hilt to your throat and I keep that stance with the same posture maintaining the square posture of having my shoulders parallel(like in the first step)

Urumi: "Good work.
Now that the basic position has been attained, we move onto basic attacks and defences.
For the attack I want you to raise your sword above your head keeping it in the center of your body, and your hands just above your head and then as you bring your sword down, take a step forward with your right foot first into the attack, aiming for this dummies head and then take a step backwards with your left foot first, then bringing your sword back to the same starting position aiming for the neck.
This particular move in kendo is known as Men-do. Give it a try will ya."

I raise my sword just above my head keeping it in the middle portion of my body, and my hands above my head and then as I bring my sword down in a swirling motion,I take a step forward with my right foot first to attack, aiming for the dummies head and then take a step backwards with my other

foot first, then bringing my sword back to the same starting position aiming for the neck, I do IT​

*bonks pradattuchiha to head with the dunce stick*

I'd appreciate if you wouldn't copy paste my post and just change couple words from it. You're not getting off so easily. Now, try again and show some enthusiasm.

[Vroqrak]

I undertand.But it isn't like elemental jutsu's .they require proper understanding of the subject

I raise my sword and in the center of my body where I maintain a constant position with my hands above my head and then bring my arms down in a violent vertical motion, aiming at the dummy's head as my right foot is taken for the attack and my left foot backwards, I bring my sword to the orignal position I slash down my sword to the neck ​

Urumi: "Then if the art of swordsmanship doesn't require understanding, then how come you didn't understand what to do? I can clearly see you have difficulties with understanding. Get your pride out of your head young whelp, it will only get you killed. Now, focus and concentrate and try again."

​

 

[Vroqrak]

I said Kenjutsu is different because it is difficult to write descriptions about

As directed by you, I calm myself down and then focus on my orignal position as I raise my sword, and my hands above my head, maintaining the sword at my center and being firm as I step my right foot to attack first and then in a vertical swinging motion to the dummie's head, i attack it as i get my left foot back for maintaining my posture and then bring down the sword again, to give a slash

 

[Zerabitu]

I wish you'd give this a bit more enthusiasm or is there something you don't understand about what to do? If so, don't be afraid to ask.

Urumi: "Now for a defence. I will use the same attack on you and what i want you to do, is bring your sword upwards in the center line of your body and as my sword comes down at you, pivot your right hand whilst maintaining your left strong to tap the sword outwards giving you the openining to attack and in that moment, bring your sword back centrally and lift up to your head and bring down towards my head but only do the motion without the speed and stop at my head please. We don't want any accidents now do we?"

*Urumi takes the basic stance and brings up her sword and steps forwards into the cut as she bring down the sword slowly*

I have difficulty in understanding -__-

Could you be a bit more precise?
What part exactly you do not understand?

​

 

[Vroqrak]

Alright, I exactly donot understand what I should be doing like

what i want you to do, is bring your sword upwards in the center line of your body and as my sword comes down at you, pivot your right hand whilst maintaining your left strong to tap the sword outwards giving you the openining to attack and in that moment, bring your sword back centrally and lift up to your head and bring down towards my head

This statement, might look ok , but the text is so jumbled up that i get confused on what I should be doing

No one else has had any problems with this so far. I think you just lack the concentration and dedication to read it carefully with time and use your imagination.
How ever, I will type it again.

Urumi: "Bring your sword upwards in the center line of your body and as my sword comes down at you, pivot your right hand. While you do this, maintain your left strong and tap the sword outwards giving, you the openining to attack. In that moment, bring your sword back centrally and lift up above to your head. From there you bring it down towards the top of my head but only do the motion without the speed and stop at my head."

i was just being honest :shrug:
You strike from above and as I see the sword coming down , I lift my sword and collapse with your's sword and by pivoting my right hand and tapping the sword away, thus neglecting the attack and giving a opening for a counter attack. I then bring my sword back around my belly but then take the same stance to execute the same attack but instead of landing the sword on your head, with regular speed I stop it near your head.
Sorry for late replies. i will only answer when i truly understand this

Urumi: "There are many various means to attack after that counter, such as a slash down the body, a slash to the hands, or to the abdomen. This is the reason why the stance should be obtained almost in a regular basis. Of course, it is sometimes based entirely on the situation itself.
Now the next part we can move onto techniques. Now the first technique is called sword barrage:"

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 25
Description: With this technique, the user will make a sequence of slashes with their sword and finishes with a powerful final slash dealing liberal damage to their enemy.

Urumi: "Basically in this technique, you could use it in the same kendo stance and slash down at the target being the practice dummy. Then follow through with several over slashes before. For example, lifting your sword up again and then bringing it down whilst stepping into the cut and slash down to the ground with more force, making it more powerful than the other attacks. Give it a go and take your time."

I nod as you as I hold the handle of my katana with both hands in a attacking position as i use my right hand to turn the katana 85' and then swing my sword vertically as I change the sword position by changing my handsas I peform a horizontal slash followed by several other like this before advancing the grip of my hands to peform a accurate diagonal finish as I apply chakra to my blade by channeling it to my hands and then the blade itself and dinishing off the dummy

*as pradattauchiha lands the final slash, it barely cuts the dummy*

Urumi: "The sequence of slashes were alright but the final blow slacked power and ferocity. And you don't need to add chakra to your hands nor to your blade. Thea idea is to learn how to use your blade with such power to cut this dummy in to pieces without using the help of chakra but simply, with the correct footwork and body weight usage.
Give this another go."

*Urumi pushes another dummy towards pradattauchiha*
