Ryozan stared down his opponent in the clearing, feet planted firmly in the dirt, left foot leading. With his left hand, he steadied the sheath of his sword while his right hand grabbed the hilt, putting tension on the blade but not drawing it. He leaned forward and crouched down slightly, the right side of his body facing his opponent, but all of his vitals guarded by his arm. He had no intention of killing the girl that stood before him, but he was still not one to take his training lightly and if she wasn't careful she'd definitely feel his attacks in the morning. "So Karela," he began, offering her a few words of advice before the match, "have you seen this stance before? It's called an iaijutsu stance. Look at where my weight and power are focused. What do you think I can do from this stance? What does this stance prevent me from doing? Once you have thought of these to things, show me how you attack."
