[quote=Nicias Askani] Sinai followed the lieutenant, and was introduced to another member of the squad. she would have to spar her? that wasnt too bad. way to gauge her skills. when the woman known as keisa drew her blade, Sinai took note of the length. it was a standard sized katana, where as her own was shorter, more of a tanto blade. she simply had to find a way under her guard. Sinai moved forward, closing the distance before reaching for her own sword. as she moved she put both arms behind her back to confuse her opponant as to which hand the sword would come from. she surged both hands forward, in her right hand moving fast was her blade held in a reverse grip style. she swung in an upward angle to knock Keisa's sword upward, if she managed to block it. her left hand moved intentionally slower with a follow up punch to hit her under her guard if they clashed swords. or to make a counter attack harder if she missed with her first strike [/quote] Keisa watched every step Sinai took, holding her Katana firm in her left hand. [b]"Now, remember Keisa, control is key."[/b] Rio promoted Keisa, knowing the girl needed more work on controlling her spiritual energy since it tended to spiral out of control often. Keisa nodded while glancing at Rio in acknowledgement before looking back at Sinai. The girl placed both hands behind her back, however Keisa only kept her eyes on the whole of the woman's body, her own body still. Sinai then launched so Keisa held her sword out with her left hand, pointing it to Sinai. Keisa's sword was then knocked upwards but Keisa kept her eyes straight as Sinai sent a punch heading for her gut. Keisa grabbed the girl's fist, holding her there while pushing her sword against Sinai's, trying to force the sword back as Keisa quickly lifted her right knee, aiming to knee the girl in the stomach.
