Hissori prepared himself for the training he was about to undertake. The sky was nice in the country of Nami no kuni; not a cloud in site. Hissori did not want to damage Soutoushikyo during his training for "Seikouhou" so he brought a training sword of his dads to train. Closing the door of his apartment, Hissori took a deep breath then went out to the family training field with the practice sword.

Hissori set up three logs he cut down the day before specifically for this training. After setting them up with proper spacing between them he ran a long ways away from the first log. he was going to run at the log and perform the traditional cutting pattern that "Seikouhou" requires. A left to right horizontal slash came first as he ran towards the first log. the log split in half. The piece in the air from the cut was too tempting to miss. Hossori then diagonally cut the floating piece in two with a 1 o clock-7 o clock slash. Hissori was happy but the horizontal cut was not straight enough.

The second try Hissori wanted to be perfect. Hissori flew at the second log with the same determination. His movements were quick. This time the log did not fly apart.Hissori had cut a seemingly perfect right triangle into the log. the top of the log slid off.

The last log Hissori did not want to run at. he wanted to cut the perfect right triangle into it. Hissori stood in front of the lg with his sword behind him on his left side. the strike happened in a blink. Nothing on the log moved until Hissori pushed it apart to collect the right triangle to take home.

The next day Hissori prepared three more logs. The one thing that he did not mind about this training was the amount of firewood he was making for his apartment. With practice sword in hand Hissori took his position a few yards away from the logs. Hssori places his sword behind him on his left side and charged at the first log.

runni miles an hourng at a speed of five miles an hour, Hissori brought his sword from behind him and cut the first log in straight horizontal line through the middle of the 6 foot log. The force of his horizontal cut allowed the log to fall over sideways on the left side. before the log could hit the ground hissori brought his sword up to one o clock then brought it down to seven in an instant. The log split in three.

Hissori wanted to continue running at each log without stopping. in a battle situation he would not have time to stop and admire his work. The second log slit in two from the horizontal cut. Pretty soon it was in three as he again brought his practice sword from one to seven.

when Hissori got to the last log he slide to a stop. the sand underneeath him kicked up as he slid toward the log. coming to a clomplete stop hissori performed the Seikouhou motion once more. nine pieces of cut wood layed spread out behind Hissori as he put his sword back in its sheath.

Hissori was in the mood for some training. it was the middle of the night and there he was lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling restlessly. He took his kendo stick from his closet and went out to his back yard where he had a training dummy ready to be bashed.

Hissori wanted to increase his strength and offense; to break any defense. to achive this he would have to work hard. Hissori started with basic hitting principles. he would hold his sword behind him and strike at the mid section of the dummy. Then he would move to the lower body, then upper, doing a set of 100 swings each time.

After his warmup hissori wanted to perform some combos on the dummy. Hissori stepped a few yard back from the traning dummy. He proceeded to run at the dummy at five miles per hour. approaching the training dummy with his sword behind him on his left side Hissori brought the kendo stick down on it from 2 oclock. the shock of the blow vibrated through his whole body but he would have to get use to it if he wanted to strike harder.

After bringing the sword up from his 2 o clock swing hissori performed a 360 bringing the sword to the dummy at 9 o clock. He was expecting the shock so he bore with it much better than the first time. After the second blow hissori jumped back 10 feet from the dummy. He then proceed to run at the dummy again with the intention of performing a Seikouhou. He would take the kendo stick to the dummy as hard as he could.

Seikouhou is a technique that takes the opponent from the stomach with a Horizontal slash then finishes with a strike from 1-7 o clock. Hissori brought the sword up for the horizontal strike as he ran at the dummy. The kendo stick vibrated in his hand from the quick strike. To complete the move Hissori did a counter clockwise spin to turn back around and strike the dummy at 1 o clock.

After this move Hissori jumped back ten feet once more. The next move he would perform is a head to a horizontal head smash to a horizontal slash behind his opponent. Hissori ran at the training dummy and planted a 12 o clock blow on the dummies temple. the blow shook his hands to no end but Hissori pulled through relentlessly. After the head smash Hissori stepped behind his opponent in a curve. once he was behind the dummy he delivered a 9 o clock slap with his kendo stick.

Hissori was getting use to the harder striking. It made his hands sore but he repeated "No pain no gain" to himself. Hissori then decided to sit in meditation. he would think on all that he had just performed. Remembering the sensation of the strikes Hissori felt through the level of striking he would have to deliver to break certain defenses.

After meditation Hissori decided to do some strength training. After taking a few laps around his parents training field, Hissori took out his fathers weighted pole. The pole weighed about 60 pounds. Picking up the pole Hissori began to perform Gyakusatsu drills. Going through all of the striking mechanics several times was painful with the weighted pole but Hissori pulled through.

After the weight training Hissori took another lap around the training ground. By this time the sun looked to be coming up. Hissori decided to end his training session with a few more strikes on the training dummy. Doing sets of 100 on upper body, mid section, and lower body Hissori concluded his training.

After taking a shower Hissori laid back down on his bed looking up at the ceiling. Hissori nodded of to sleep. when he woke up later that moring the amount of soreness Hissori felt was staggering. "No pain no gain"

Hissori did not want to use logs for the next phase of his training. it wasn't that he couldn't find the logs to use, it was just that it would take too long to set up. He would be imagining his opponent in front of him. Hissori started off with his traditional warm up of a set of 500 push ups, sit ups and squats with 100 pound weights. After this he pulled his weighted kendo stick out of its case.

The move he was learning was called Nibai Sutoro-ku; a feint sword attack to a head smash. He would try the move from a multitude of angels. Hissori set his kendo stick in his left side back position. He was slightly crouched. He then took off in a run. he would attempt the moves while doing laps around the practice field. The first strike was fast. Hissori brought the sword up to ten then brought it down at a diagonal only to bring it back up to the head of his imaginary victim. Thus created a V formation of attack. The first strike was performed with one hand giving it weaker momentum so that he could bring it back with both hands on the second swing for hed damage.

Hissori brushed off his first move and continued his run. he could tell that he was becoming much more fit from when he first started training years ago. His second attack was a an upward cut with one hand which was immediately brought back down for a head smash with both hands. it was a quick 6-12-6 combo. the blow from the weighted kendo stick placed a hole in the ground. Hissori kept on moving at a run and prepared for his third attack combo.
