[/b][/color] Both Kenjutsu styles use one-handed swords; mostly commonly the Katana but other one handed swords are fine. While this does not mean a user cannot place both hands upon their sword, it is simply reference for the size and weight of swords permitted for this style. Some techniques require some form of sheath and thus users should choose their weapon carefully.The ability to fight with the sword is one of the most sacred of arts. There are many different swordstyles, but the most basic of all forms is usually considered to be Kenjutsu (Sword Arts). While the techniques are generally fairly simple to understand and use, they are by no means to be considered weak or underpowered. In fact, they stand as a testament to some of the most powerful attacks within the world.
Kenjutsu itself is broken down into two arts: Battoujutsu and Iaijutsu. The first, Battoujutsu, is a style that focuses almost completely on offense, sacrificing many defensive qualities just for the ability to rapidly cut, slash, and kill the opponent. On the flipside of that, Iaijutsu is a style that focuses primarily on defense through evasion, parry, riposte and on the art of the quick draw; unsheathing and attacking in one fluid movement. While the masters of Kenjutsu are incredibly proficient at one style, they may only learn the basics of the other style due to a conflict of training and utility.
