Tenka no Sutoraiku - The sword is to be kept within the sheathe within reach of the back or inside palm of the hand, the hand is then swung or swayed just in front of the guard of the blade. As the target comes within range, the guard is then struck, hard, by the hand on the inside of the guard causing the hilt of the blade to be launched outwards towards the target. With Flames of War, the strike will create sudden friction causing the sword to ignite the flames within the sheathe and rocket the sword out from the sheathe at an immense velocity.

Tenshinokisu - Two swords are held in the front, their blades aimed horizontally at the target, with a sudden rush forwards the blades are sunk into the ground and then the sword master sweeps his/her left foot around like a roundhouse kick over the hilt of the left blade as they let go of the left blade to allow for a whirling spin to begin. As the left foot goes over the hilt, the right foot is brought up hard upon the guard edge side heel first while the left foot is brought down on the guard hilt side shin first. The kick causes a pincer to be viced onto the sword as the whirling spin creates enough force to pry the sword from the ground. The right blade is then used as a pivot point as the body is twisted around through the air, the left blade now whirling with the feet before the right blade is pulled from the ground as a sweeping kick is made towards the target, the kick sends the sword master into a hellish spiraling corkscrew as they curl up their body to allow the blades to slice around rapidly.

Itami no Kage - With only one sword, held in the right hand, the sword master will counter a strike or stab towards the chest or stomach by dropping the hilt of the sword down and to the left, aiming to strike and parry the blade of attack. The parry causes the blade to be aimed at an angle approaching the target's body. The blade is then swung quickly by flicking the wrist of the sword hand downwards to strike at the neck of the target or perhaps to impale the target if the distance is correct.

Tsumi - [Sin]

Burakkufaiashiru - The blade is to be held upon the left hip, sheathed, and the target must be attacking or standing on the right side of the sword master, near the sword master's right field of stance. As the target comes within range, the blade's hilt is sent out from the sheathe by a quick piston strike from the left hand by striking the inside of the guard. If a strike is coming towards the sword master, the blade and hips are to be positioned in such a manner as to send the blade into the path of the strike. As the hilt comes from the resting point of the sheathe, the right hand is placed very quickly upon the inside guard of the blade, the palm on the blunt edge of the sword and the blade now almost fully drawn from the sheathe with the left hand brought around to grip the hilt with an upside-down hold.

Fire Style:

Fast, strong, precise, but if left untamed, the techniques and skills of the Fire Style will consume and destroy the sword master.

Otakebi - Flames of War is drawn and the blade is held in the right hand. The sword master draws the blade back, holding the sword's edge on the left side of the hip, the edge facing away from the body, and the point aiming away from the target. As the sword master steps forwards with their left foot, the blade is swung horizontally from left to right, the point aiming towards the target as the right foot is slid around behind the left, the edge of Flames of War is coiled up until the blunt edge taps the left ribs of the body of the sword master. As the touch occurs, the blade engulfs into flames as the sword master bends downwards and then jumps into a spin, causing the flames to spiral around their body. Upon landing, a shout is released along with a powerful downwards diagonal slash with Flames of War from upper left to lower right, the shout and slash unleashing an explosive wave of flaming arcs and tendrils that expand out towards the target rapidly.
