Tensora Walking
Rank:: E
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: How a Tensora practitioner walks.
Special: None.
Drawback: None.
Description: This technique is used to move efficiently while fighting. It demands the user to use proper posture and stepping. Without balance, a Tensora student is nothing. Walking consists of keeping the dominant foot ahead, and balancing the other on the ball of the foot. The student will keep his back straight and his head moving ahead, with the front leg bent. Both feet must be pointed forward. The student will then lurch forward with the front leg, bringing the other foot behind. Dragging the back foot is not accepted.
Limit: Must learn from one of the five Tensora Masters

“Again” Master Rai commanded, Logain stood slowly and began to position his feet, this walking was very annoying to learn, and Master Rai wanted nothing shorter than perfection when doing it. Logain straightened his back and began to walk slowly, his feet were pointing forward and his head was constantly moving. Logains front leg was bent and moved forward, and started to bring the other foot to follow behind it, he dragged it across the ground. A wooden stick struck his dragging foot hard, “No, don’t drag the foot, just move it, balance is the key here, balance” Rai said clearly.

Logain flexed his leg and gave Rai a look of his own, and started to work the walking movement again, he did everything correct and balanced on the one leg and brought the foot forward and continued on, it was like a walk, in a way and he tried to keep his balance, when three quick strikes of a wooden sword in both his legs and ribs. “Ahh, what the hell was that for?” Logain yelled. “Stop looking at your feet, and make it smoother, don’t walk the walk, flow into it like a natural river” What the hell does that even mean? Logain asked himself inside, he began once again, and this time cleared his thoughts and started to focus, he kept his head up and back straight flowed into each movement with perfect balance on each step, flowing like an easy going river he moved forward and was much easier.

He repeated the walk faster and faster, flowing into it with grace and speed, his form was perfect his concentration was key and he was completely in touch with the technique now. Logain ran through the tech once again, he had almost had the tech down but wasn’t close enough, he moved through the technique at an alarming speed his form was perfect his eyes held focus and master Rai had nothing to say to him for the time being.

Logain moved on with the training, he had the walking down, so the next step had to be taken. Master Rai stood infront of him and through a wooden sword at him, “Ready stance” he commanded. Logain took the Tensora walking stance, and prepared he moved forward doing the walk as he did, He countered and hit him in his side. “use to hands on the blade thumbs up” he said, Logain corrected himself and moved at him again, he hit the sword once and Rai countered and struck his side again, “Point the sword at my throat, your sword was to low, I could strike you up top to easily” he said, Logain wondered why he didn’t tell this to him all at the start?

Logain adjusted his hands and held the sword in both hands, steadying the blade and holding it pointing at his throat, which put the blade infront of his body at the middle perfectly. He concentrated on Rai and moved forward, he clashed with Rai’s sword five times before he was struck hard in the ribs. “Your thinking about it to much” he said strongly, “Relax, empty your mind when your moving, react, use instinct” he finished. Logain set himself up in his stance and held the sword infront of him, he let his shoulders drop, and tension left his face and he focused on nothing else but Rai’s sword and his own, how he moved and how he would hit him.

Logain exhaled, and all thoughts left his mind, he moved forward, flowed into Master Rai’s guard, he flowed backwards and countered the first strike, Logain, switched his hands around and swept upwards at his chest, he flipped backward and landed it, Logain continued to move forward, as Rai landed his sword arm waved left. Logain quickly dropped his knee, and slid under the sword just in time, he pivoted and swept side wards at his side. Rai seemed to move with sword, staying infront of it until he ended up behind him, and stabbed his side. “That, would be an instant kill” he stated, and pushed him away from him, Logain smiled.

“That was good though, but next time don’t watch me while I get around you, find a way for you to get around me while im getting around you” He said grinning. Logain nodded, “ I understand” he said with a smile, Logain rushed forward immediately and slashed left and right, they clashed, matching step for step, Rai was holding back, he could tell, but he was having some fun while fighting, Logain swept upwards now, Rai flipped through the air and landed then rushed him, Logain blocked and held his ground, Logain was very strong and that was about the only thing he currently cared about, Rai was halted in his tracks and was pushed back. Logain moved in forward and stabbed straight in, Rai slipped around and did a reverse grip at his throat, “Good, very good” he said.
