Stepping Stone Technique

The Stepping Stone Technique is a technique that is regarded highly among any form of Kenjutsu practitioner. Kenjutsu functions on the basis of understanding an opponent's "rhythm" within battle and countering that appropriately with one's own rhythm. However, this technique instead uses one's enhanced senses through training in order to pick up on the rhythm of one's opponent within combat through the timing of their breaths. In doing so, the user manages to act on the same wavelength as their opponent, managing to evade most, if not all attacks that are occurring on the same wavelength through moving in time with the attacks used by the opponent. However, repeated shifts of rhythm throw this technique off quite easily, especially by a user who has only begun in its use.
