ZNKR Kata 11 and 12 
Juipponme - Sougiri

Scenario: As you are walking forward you sense Sakki of your opponent(s), seize the opportunity and cut  the opponents left Men diagonally, right shoulder,  left Do and finally cut right hip horizontally.  In 'coupe de grace' cut down from above for final victory.

1. Take a step forward with your right foot. As  you take a left step reach the sword with both  hands (right hand to Tsuka and left hand to  Koiguchi). As you take another step with your right foot draw your sword forward. Take the sword above  in Ukenagashi fashion as you bring your right foot to the left foot. At the same time take your left hand to the Tsuka and immediately cut the opponents left Men down to the level of jaw as you step in with your right foot (Fumikomi Ashi).

2. Take the sword back in the reverse direction in  Furikaburi (above head) and cut the opponents right shoulder (near the neck) down to Suigetsu (solar plexus) as you step in with your right foot.

3. Take the sword back in the reverse direction in Furikaburi and cut opponents left under arm down to the navel as you step in with your right  foot.

 

4. Take the sword back in the reverse direction in Furikaburi and turning the direction of the Kensen forward, take the sword horizontally to the level above your left hip. Without hesitation step in with your right foot to cut your opponents torso above the hip from right to left.

5. Without stopping the motion take the sword in Furikaburi and step in with your right foot to cut the frontal opponent  from above.

6. From this position take your left hand to left hip as you perform Chiburi to the side.

7. Slide the left hand to Koiguchi and perform Nohtoh in the same  position.


 

Junihonme - Nukiuchi

1. From standing position take both hands to the sword (right hand to Tsuka and left hand to Koiguchi). Take your left foot back and draw your sword above your head as you take your right foot back as well. At the same time take your left hand to Tsuka and immediately step in with your right foot to cut down your opponent from above.

2. Send the right foot back behind the left foot, take the left hand  to left hip and perform Chiburi to the side.

3. Slide the left hand to the Koiguchi and perform Nohtoh.
