*I nod my head in agreement*
*after watching sensei and understanding the technique, I perform it accordingly with focus*Okays theni shall be instructing you personally on the art of bushido so that you may follow the path. we shall start with some basics as always the general basics for samurai is following the way of kendo and its stances. 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.
*shows you each step as instructed and awaits you to do the same*
As sensei brings down his sword, I raise my own so that it lined up perfectly to the center of his body. Then pivoting my right hand in order to tap the blade aside, I create an opening to attack as I bring my blade back to it's original position. At that moment I raise my sword over my head and bring it down towards the your own, stopping only moments before it was supposed to make contactGood 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
*takes the basic stance and brings up my sword and steps forwards into the cut as i bring down my sword slowly*
