Benkei Style Iai [Kenjutsu | Apprentice]
Originally trained in classical Iaido, Nomura has incorporated a unique way of footwork that bucks and rotates the entirety of the user's lower body. Comparable to a drunken sailor's wobbling, he claims the inspiration came from his former master's drunken swagger. Still figuring the direction and applications of the newly focused movements, he finds it difficult to land killing blows with the blade, often slipping his guard in inopportune positions.
Benkei Style Iai [Kenjutsu | Journeyman]
Originally trained in classical Iaido, Nomura has incorporated a unique way of footwork that bucks and rotates the entirety of the user's lower body. Comparable to a drunken sailor's wobbling, he claims the inspiration came from his former master's drunken swagger. Having a fair understanding of his own movements and those of his opponents, he can attack from a variety of unusual angles with a devastating initial power. Followup strikes lack the same strength, an Iai slash providing the main offensive brunt of his style. Capable of slipping into blind spots, his blows are difficult to read.

↳ Iai-Tachi [Weapon]
A soshu forged sword with standard curve and appearance, it has no benefit aside from being solidly average quality. The belt that the sheath connects to his belt has a slightly shifted loop, letting it swing in either direction on his hip.

↳ Iai-Tachi [Weapon]
A well-used soshu forged sword with standard curve and appearance, it has been battered into familiarity. Once a slightly above average blade has been sharpened and reformed, granting it extra cutting power. With a unique belt loop, the sword's sheath can be maneuvered freely, creating unique angles for Iaido related strikes.
