Rebecca took the wooden knife and adjusted her mentality slightly.
He assumed a break stance, which was a relatively stable stance. Of course, the main problem was that Yuyuko didn't know much about the basics of kendo, and almost all of them were learned by attending the Shuangyue Gym.
And because the weapon Yuyuko uses is an off-beat weapon like Baihua Piaoling, this kind of weapon is either a stick to the face like a hammer, or it is used to carry out large-scale AOE bombing in conjunction with its own fruit ability, and it doesn’t pay much attention to skills. , more accumulated corresponding combat experience.
Therefore, when it came to teaching Rebecca, Yuyuko almost always talked the talk. After all, Yuyuko herself was not very thorough.
In the end, Yuyuko just asked Rebecca to practice the most basic ones.
Fortunately, Rebecca's training this year was mainly focused on improving physical fitness, so Yuyuko didn't have to pay too much attention to it. However, some time ago, Yuyuko felt that her body had almost been exercised, so she rushed Go and ask Kuina to teach you swordsmanship.
There is really nothing to teach.
At the same time, in order to prevent his crew from looking down on him, Yuyouzi followed the word "steady" in his previous teachings.
After all, isn’t that what is written in the book?
Guina's mouth curled up imperceptibly, quite satisfied.
The mid-range starting hand is very common among kendo apprentices, but it is particularly rare for some who use other starting hand postures.
The third stage of kendo. The upper stage posture focuses on attack and is powerful but light. However, it is particularly easy to expose flaws. Generally, it is not suitable for beginners of kendo.
The lower stance is to hang the sword halfway, which will make the movement more flexible, but the sword will be slower and the strength is not high.
The interrupted stance is the most friendly stance for novices. Although it has no obvious features and is very mediocre, its mediocrity shows that it is suitable for novices to adapt to combat.
Of course, these are the advantages and disadvantages when you are in the gym, but the situation is slightly different outside the gym. Most people will prefer the lower sword posture that is easier to move. Of course, there are also the Batojutsu and Iaijutsu that determine the outcome with one strike.
A life-and-death battle does not have the rules of a kendo gym, so killing with one sword is the key. This is why Koina agrees with Yuyuko's words and embarks on the path of kendo with speed as its core.
Mina excitedly became a referee and called the start.
Naturally, Kuina would not attack first for the purpose of guidance. She held the scabbard and used it as a wooden sword, waiting for Rebecca's attack in the same mid-section stance as Rebecca.
"Well, Master Guina, you're rude."
Although she didn't want to take the initiative to attack, Rebecca knew she had to show her results now.
Heartbroken, Rebecca shouted and rushed towards Kuina.
Kuina smiled slightly at Rebecca's childish movements, but randomly put away her smile and her expression became serious.
This is his first apprentice. When Yuyouzi brought him to Sky Island, he just agreed to Yuyouzi's casual words, but after a brief teaching, he still agreed.
Just like his father Koushiro Shigetsuki, the disciples he accepted were not necessarily destined to stand out. Of course, there were not many people in his father's kendo gym who were worthy of being his father's disciples. Only Zoro, the stubborn guy, is okay. That guy does have some talent.
Her thoughts wandered a little, so Guina closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them suddenly, and her expression was completely different in just a moment. Don’t let your mind wander when teaching people. Otherwise, how can you teach if you don’t even know what the problems of the people you are teaching are.
Rebecca's starting move was a tentative attack, a tentative stabbing move.
Kuina did not dodge. The scabbard was entangled with a little bit of Haki, and then she blocked Rebecca's attack with a backhand move. After feeling the strength in her hands, Guina had a certain judgment about Rebecca's physical fitness.
Don't underestimate these judgments. In the battle of life and death, the information obtained through judgment can even affect how to fight in the future. Otherwise, the probing attack is not a probing. Probing and probing, the brief handover of the blade allows you to have a preliminary judgment on the opponent. This is probing, not just hitting the knife and hearing the sound.
On the other side, Rebecca's feelings are naturally not as strong as Kuina's. To put it bluntly, she doesn't have enough experience to judge too much information now. Perhaps the only thing that can be tested is that Kuina's knife is very stable. .
Whether the knife is stable or not is almost the most obvious thing that a beginner can test.
"Come on, you don't have to think about anything else now, just attack."
"But... I don't want to attack." Rebecca's expression was a little uncomfortable, and it was obvious that she was very resistant to the attack.
"Is that so~" Kuina remembered what Yuyuko had told her about Rebecca before, and she quickly understood. "Well, if that's the case, then let me do the attack. You have to defend well."
After hearing Kuina's words, Rebecca seemed to relax, or finally returned to her normal state.
Unlike most people in this world who learn kendo, Rebecca only learns to protect herself, and she is not willing to hurt others at all while protecting herself.
He obviously chose to draw it out of the sheath, but he wanted to avoid being stained with blood.
Anyone who has experienced some darkness in the world will find such an idea naive and ridiculous.
Even if it was the first time Guina heard it, she felt a little surprised.
When you hold the handle of the knife in your hand, you must have the awareness to bathe in blood. The merciful knife cannot even protect yourself.
However, after meeting pure people like Yuyuko and Mina, Kuina, who had not experienced much danger in the world, still had a rare expectation for Rebecca's choice.
After thinking about how to control the intensity for a moment, Guina herself was not sure about this first real teaching. Finally, I thought about it and decided to do something that makes the thunder loud and the rain small.
Gu took a step forward and struck directly on the head.
The power is great, but the strength is not used very much. Let's see if Rebecca has the courage to face this power.
Fortunately, Rebecca endured it. Although her face turned a little pale, she still gritted her teeth and faced this power. At the same time, she watched Kuina's deliberately slowed down movements with bated breath. Then she directly charged in with the knife, almost close to her body. He drew the knife from a certain position, intending to directly attack Guina's hand holding the knife.
Kuina's eyes narrowed, and she retreated in small steps. The katana is essentially a mid-range offensive weapon. Being too close will make it difficult to take advantage of the length of the weapon. Not only will the attack become funny, but it will also It is easy for the enemy to catch him by surprise in close combat. It is even better to give up the weapon and attack directly with bare hands.
However, such techniques are rarely used in normal kendo sparring, and are more common in some special schools. Of course, there are also those who come from wild ways like Rebecca who would think of this move.
Guina observed Rebecca attentively, and she was already sweating a lot after just a short confrontation.
Guina knew that this was not because the other party was physically weak, but because the psychological pressure from her initial power might be a bit too great. However, Rebecca's eyes were determined and her eyes never left Guina.
This brave and focused state made Kuina a little moved. "That's a bit interesting. But your swordsmanship should be some kind of swordsmanship that focuses on death combat, and there are also some non-swordsmanship methods." "But there is a problem. It's not big, these problems can be corrected." "Get ready, I'm coming again."
After saying that, Kuina attacked Rebecca again.
This time, with the previous two tests, Kuina was able to roughly grasp a speed suitable for Rebecca's training.
Next to you, Youyouzi, who had taken a shower, came back with her hair half-tied and wrapped in a towel. Seeing several people gathered around to watch the show, I was speechless.
"Hey, you guys are all boring~"
It was originally a harmless complaint, but unexpectedly, Ke Na returned with a fierce glare.
"Yuyuko, how do you usually train Rebecca? Why does she always use some weird moves?"
"A weird move?" Yuyouzi was dissatisfied, "Am I weird? It's obviously a practical skill!"
A fist came over and knocked off the towel wrapped around Yuyouzi's head. Suddenly Yuyouzi turned into a disheveled female ghost. "What are practical skills? Is this something that should be taught when holding things? It will only make her miss the point!"
"In a life-and-death battle, there is no such thing as lack of focus. Practicality is the key." After rubbing her head and throwing her hair behind her back, Yuyouzi returned weakly.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "And I didn't teach her many strange skills."
"Did she realize it on her own?"
"Yes." Yuyuko nodded this time, "Although not entirely, she did understand about 40% of it herself. The person who taught her this was her father...a toy soldier from Dressrosa."
"Toy soldiers? The ones you said when you brought Rebecca back?"
"Well, that's it. He is a warrior with rich experience in death fighting in the arena. What kind of self-defense methods do you think he would teach a little girl?"
Kena stopped talking for a moment.
Many gladiators are purely wild, and all their techniques are based on their own combat experience and their personal habits. And because it is a technique created for survival, there is no limit to the means at all, so doing anything else is worthless compared to survival.
"That's right. It comes from an experienced gladiator..." "But how come she only learned some... alternative self-protection techniques?"
It was not Yuyuko who answered her, but Kuina.
"She doesn't want to kill people, so she has some means of rejecting attacks." Guina took out a rag and simply wiped the scabbard, then slowly sheathed the knife. Shaking his head, his eyes softened instantly.
"Yuyuko told her this when he took her to Sky Island."
Kona thought about it for a while and finally had some impression. At the same time, she remembered that she was troubled by the affairs of the 'Lan' organization at that time, so she forgot about it. Thinking of this, Ke Na immediately shut up and stopped talking.
However, Kuina didn't intend to stop talking, and her eyes turned to Yuyuko.
"What's wrong?" Youyouzi suddenly panicked.
"Why……"
"..." This long sigh made Youyouzi feel heartbroken. Please tell me, what does sighing mean?
As if she understood what Yuyuko was thinking, Kuina didn't give Yuyuko any room to express herself. "Youyouzi, are you lazy?"
Soul torture! Naked soul torture!
Youyouzi was frightened for a moment, but the next moment she puffed up her chest. As long as she didn't admit to fishing, no one could say that she was fishing! Besides, is it just fishing? It is using appropriate methods to complete the teaching task while taking fish into account. It is killing multiple birds with one stone!
However, just when Yuyuko was about to forcefully explain the truth, Rebecca, who was covered in sweat profusely, weakly intervened. "Well, Master, she is really not lazy."
These words made Youyouzi straighten up her back instantly, and her mouth curled up involuntarily.
Hum~
However, before Yuyuko's waist was fully straightened, she heard Rebecca add another sentence.
"Master uses the wind blade to help me practice every day. Master works very hard. With his help, I can clearly feel that I have grown." Rebecca's eyes were very clean, and the gratitude in her eyes was beyond words.
Except for Mina, the expressions of Kona and Kuina instantly became subtle.
The two of them looked at Yuyuko with a "He Shan" smile and moved their wrists at the same time.
"You really worked hard~"
It's normal for Rebecca not to know Yuyuko's methods, but they are still relatively clear about it. Summoning the Wind Blade, isn't that what this guy does with his hand?
"Do you have anything else to say?" Kena's voice was steady and without any emotion.
Youyouzi shrank her head and replied weakly, "I...I have one more thing to say."
"Tell me."
Youyuko immediately squatted down with her head in her hands, shouting at the same time
"Strike gently!"
