Sairen sighed softly as he walked up the steps of the rather small looking dojo within stone village. His eyes wandered looked around quietly as he entered. As he entered, he noticed an older man sitting down and drinking tea. As Sairen entered, he bowed politely to the man. ”E-excuse me sir a-are y-you…” The older man looked up and then stood up slowly. ”Yes, I am Juushen your father told me you were to arrive today… He is a good man it seems right that you chose an honorable way of combat…” The older man said as he revealed his Katana.


He then stood beside Sairen as he crouched and held his hand on the hilt of the blade. He then entered the basic stance of the technique. Sairen glanced at him as he stood beside him. ”Alright Sairen mimic what I am doing… Your lessons start now… If you are anything like your father then you must be a fast learner.” Sairen jumped as the older man called his name as he slowly crouched and entered the stance. Resting his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The older man looked at him and stood up straight. ”Crouch lower…” He said calmly as Sairen crouched lower to the ground quietly.”You almost got it now straighten up your arm that is holding blade…” The older man said calmly as he watched Sairen. Sairen then slowly straightened his arm. As the older man paced around him silently. He then sighed as he looked at Sairens feet.

”Now pivot your feet…” The older man said as Sairen did as he was told as he still kept into the stance. As the older man faced him again. He then snorted as he glanced at Sairens hand. ”Your grip is not tight… I thought you are a warrior grip it like a man…” He added still being calm as Sairen now gripped the blade tightly. Sairen then looked at the older man he smiled.

”Now stand up straight…” The older man said softly as Sairen stood up straight. He then faced him and crouched down swiftly to get into a stance. ”Now get into the stance!” He barked quickly as Sairen quickly crouched into the stance mimicking his sensei. He then smiled and stood up straight. ”Good Job now time for the real lesson… This stance is very important for what I am going to teach you…” He said as he sat back down and continued drinking his tea. Sairen then stood up straight as he walked back to his Sensei.

OOC: No man it is totally fine ^^


Sairen sighed softly as he looked to his Sensei silently. He continued to sip his tea as Sairen continued to stare at him. ”What… What do I do?” Sairen asked the Sensei the then sighed as he looked at him calmly. ”Continue practicing thestance…” He said as Sairen sighed to him self softly. He then looked forward and nodded. He then crouched down and began to practice the stance several times.

Sairen continued to work on the stance being able to execute it more swiftly with each time he practiced. Within ten minutes, he pretty much got the hang of it. Each time he repeated the stance he stood still for a few seconds loving the feeling of success. His eyes traveled over to his Sensei silently as he then stood up straight again.

The Sensei then paced around Sairen silently as he smiled. He then entered the stance and stood across from him. His eyes making eye contact with Sairen as he began to do various movements and short dashes around the room each time he stopped he went back into the stance quietly. ”To use this form of combat effectively you need to learn that momentum has a serious impact upon how you hit your enemy…

Sairen nodded silently as he observed his sensei’s movements silently. He then began to mimic them. Each time when he stopped he entered back into the stance swiftly. Each time Sairen moved he kept his hand on the hilt of the blade. Sairen then quickly turned the corner but did not predict the sharp turn. Quickly Sairen lost balance and fell over to the side. He got up quickly while wincing in pain as he continued to sloppily mimic his Sensei’s movements.

His Sensei did the movements so naturally as if this is how he moved since a baby. Sairen continued the sloppy mimicking of the dashes from side to side. Quickly keeping crouched while running each time when he stopped he re-entered the stance as he quickly drew his blade. There was a wish as he noticed how much faster the blade was drawn while doing this technique. He continued to do the movements slowly improving with each attempt he did. Sairen’s eyes kept on his Sensei as he kept on moving along side him. His hood fell back as his hair began to blow in the wind.

Suddenly Sairen notice that his legs began to ache and his heartbeat began to quicken. He was growing tired due to the constant movements but he had to get them done just right. He continued as he strained his body with each graceful movement that his Sensei did Sairen kept on improving as he followed the movements of his teacher. His eyes continued to scan as he himself began to become more and more graceful with each quick stride.

Sairen panted softly yet he did not give up as he continued to sprint alongside his sensei swiftly. His eyes followed each movement he did as he continued to run. His eyes stayed on his sensei as he did a quick hop and landed within a second as he continued to move. Matching the speed of his teacher but the graceful-ness was still extremely below par. His eyes never left his Sensei’s movements as he continued to run.

Sairen panted softly as he continued to move. Each time he took a step his gracefulness increased swiftly. His eyes watered as the pain in his body became unbearable. His hair blew in the wind as sweat dripped down his face. His eyes still watching his Sensei’s movements as he ran a few feet behind him. His body quickly adapted to the constant changing of directions and reflexes. His eyes scanned him like a computer as his mind began to factor in the possible movements.

Sairen continued to run as his speed increased and so did the pain, which was splintering through his legs. Sairen’s heart pounded in his chest as the feeling of exhaustion over came him as he almost thought about giving up… However, Sairen never was the one to give up and continued moving swiftly along with his Sensei.

He ignored the pain in his legs as he continued to move with great haste. He had to get this done and be able to match his Sensei’s swiftness. He knew that this was very important to the fighting style and that he had to learn this technique. He continued to sprint as he now matched the speed of his Sensei. He smiled softly as he continued to pant and move with great speed.

Sairen continued to move swiftly now running fully along side his Sensei. His hart pounded in his chest as he continued to run. His eyes never stopped watching the movements as he ran alongside still not getting the perfect movements his Sensei was utilizing but as mimicking them fairly well and effectively. Each step he took had a meaning and he could see the strategic value of each movement.

He continued to run as he took in a deep breath filling his lungs with air as his legs began to sting even more. The pain increased as he winced but continued to move with great swiftness. Mimicking his Sensei’s every single move until the Sensei stopped and smiled at Sairen. ”Good job Sairen well our first session is over… Continue to practice what I taught you today and I will see you tomorrow.” Sairen’s Sensei said as Sairen nodded silently. ”Alright Sensei… Thank you…” He said softly as he bowed politely and after a few moments of catching his breath he exited the dojo silently.
