Shohatto sit face east, make a cut on the level of the neck
Uto - sit face north, 90 degree turning from west to north, right leg forward, make a cut on the level of the neck,
Sato sit face south, 90 degree turning from east to north, left leg forward, make a cut on the level of the neck
Atarito sit face west, 180 degree turning from south to east to north, left leg out, make a cut on the level of the neck
Inyoshintai - sit face east, make a cut on the level of the neck
Maybe she'll learn Junto
Junto - (ceremonial) - very calm and relaxing waza. You helping another samurai to finish his life. In case he will not have enough courage to cut his stomach, you will cut his head off. Sit face south, face to the left, left leg forward, draw the sword, upper block, jump to the facing direction to the forward-right side, make a cut (horizontal cut) on the level of the pelvis, move forward with the upper block, make a cut till the belly button, move blade over the opponent's body, switch tsuka when a tip of a the blade points to your right foot, "swing shiburi", notto, hold hand on kashira, three steps back.
