Akira was quick. Not as quick as he usually was with the injury but he was damn quick. He reached out with his left and grabbed the sword, swooping it down to take away the rest of the momentum.
Next, he tested the weight of the sword. It seemed to be rather well made. Old too. The weight was nicely distributed which was a good quality to have in a practice sword. Good quality to have in a sword too.
He turned to face Eliot, favouring using his left hand this time. Of course he would find himself using both hands at times but this time, the left would lead. The left would be his primary hand.
"You said you had done Kendo before, didn't you?" he asked him, making sure he knew what he was doing.
