There was a method to his madness here, having them hold the weapon partially to get a feel for it, attack the target knowing that it was a skill they'd need, but it wasn't the main point of the demonstration. He wanted the others to see specifically just how different these two were. He had picked the slightly bigger academy student, a little older, and then the smallest and close to youngest. The same thought process in having them grab an equally sized weapon with not so equally sized grips, showing the difference. Now with each of them attacking, it gave a chance for him to also see their preparations for attacking, but once more for the class to see just how different they were in all of these skills.
Immediately the difference was clear, as Shor weapon in quickly, decisively, trained in close combat like this and almost certainly comfortable with his reflexes. Kin certainly felt more familiar to how he'd handle things, looking over the opponent, picking your strike, then reacting. It was near impossible to keep from grinning watching her, as she was like a tiny tornado moving around the tummy and never relenting.
"Very well done you two. Very well done."
Even if the rest of the class didn't clap, he did towards them, genuinely looking impressed, then motioning for Shor to stand to his right and Kin to his left before he turned to address the class again.
"You see the difference in these two in size and age, but they've demonstrated the differences in fighting style as well. This is something you all need to keep in mind when you train. Your personal growth is important, but if things go as they should, fighting alone should be a rare case for decades to come for all of you."
Turning back to the dummy, he walked over and moved it back closer to the wall but giving a few feet of room, then looked to the two and made a motion towards the seating.
"You two can sit back down, thank you."
Making his way back to the blackboard, he picked up the chalk and began to write. Bukijutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu, Genjutsu
"These are the main types of jutsu in our world. Those who mainly uses weaponry; Bukijutsu. Those who fight hand to hand without the use of the others aside from minimal weapon usage; Taijutsu. These use of sealing techniques; Fuinjutsu. The use of mental and sensory impacting jutsu; Genjutsu. Ninjutsu is far more broad than the others as it can cover the use of different types of elemental attacks such as a fireball, lightning strikes, perhaps even more specialized ninjutsu such as creating strings of chakra to create puppets."
As he explained, he wrote minimal descriptions next to each word, then turned back to the class.
"Shor and Kin demonstrated mainly Taijutsu, with weapon usage. The point is, each of you will have a focus that's different than those next to you. This could be because of the clan you come from, perhaps a modification to your bodies, intense training, maybe even all of the above, but the point is, you have to learn to not only focus on how you fight, but how your fighting style works with other types of shinobi arts."
Putting the chalk back down he made a gesture towards the class.
"Does anyone have a question about anything we've talked about today so far?"
