Inoryu stood center stage facing the taijutsu practitioners. There were men, women, children of all ages focusing intently on the graceful movements of the martial art. Inoryu glanced over the many diverse people sparring and practicing, and glanced over at the master of the dojo while taking a deep breath, "Everyone, may I have your attention?" The grandmaster was polite but her question was rhetorical; everyone immediately dropped their practice to face her, "We have here our newest Gakyuu. Please, introduce yourself," she said to Inoryu.
"Right...ugh..." Inoryu couldn't help but feel a little anxious but he couldn't put off practicing taijutsu anymore, "My...my name is Inoryu Yamanaka. I am a genin of Kusagakure and have come to develop my taijutsu," Inoryu bowed deeply and humbly, "Thank you for having me." This gesture was received with warm responses from everybody in the dojo and his gesture was returned by everyone, including the grandmaster. Others then grinned and nodded adding to the warmth of acceptance.
"Welcome Inoryu," the grandmaster said, "For now pair with Rutaro Goemon, he is another Gakyuu, only one week your senior. He can teach you the basics."
"Welcome to the dojo, Inoryu. My name is...well you heard my name from the Grandmaster, Rutaro Goemon, but you can just call me Rutaro. So, for now, just copy what I do." He raised his arms with his elbows bent and his knuckles facing Inoryu. His legs were at a right angle, with his left arm and foot forward, and his right arm and foot second. He bent his knees in a relaxed position, "This is Hyouuryuu Yuki or Drifting Snow. This is the main stance."
Inoryu spread his feet shoulder length apart and faced his left foot and arm forward. His chest faced diagonally between the right angle of his feet and he bent his knees in a relaxed posture, "Hyouuryuu Yuki, or Drifting Snow."
"Good!"
