User blog:Silver-Haired Seireitou/The Bleach Lectures - December 2014

Well howdy y'all, it's Sei with a new monthly blog!

...Before you all run away in fear and shock, listen up! It's actually gonna be a new discussion blog for everybody to partake in!

Recently, with the new blogs out by Njalm and Void, the article on Zanjutsu made by Saris, and the recent improvements made on the four areas of Shinigami combat, the idea came to me that we can have a new discussion blog where we can discuss the combat fields and share information between each other. Called...

The Bleach Lectures

And here's how it will go.

Every month, starting with this month, we will discuss one of the four fields on the blog I create for this discussion every month; like this one.

Now, here's how the discussions will work.

For the month of Hakuda, I will make the monthly blog and it will be upon everybody to present one interesting piece of information about martial arts. It can be a martial art that isn't too well known, that you've read about, something interesting about a martial art that is popular, something in regards to the history of a particular martial art; et cetera. Anything you can think of that will be beneficial and apply to Hakuda.

For the month of Hohō, it will be upon everybody to bring up something interesting in regards to speed and footwork. There are a lot of topics for footwork, like tai sabaki, so there's plenty of stuff. You could even bring up speed records for vehicles, or speed records for marathon runners if you want, or anything supernatural like Shukuchi.

For the month of Kidō, it will be your mission to seek out information about magic. And this is probably the easiest of the four because there's just... so many things. The eight schools of magic would be one thing to look up, perhaps you choose one school and research it some, maybe even bring up some series and novels and movies where those were prominent. Have fun with this!

And for the month of Zanjutsu, it goes without saying, present information on swordsmanship! Maybe something cool about Kendo, or another sword style, or a concept in swordsmanship.

Now, the point of this is to share information and discuss together, but also, to help each other discover new things about these fields of combat and perhaps even use those ideas in our own articles.

In 2015, the schedule will be like this, just so you're aware. I mixed it up a little too.
 * January: Kidō
 * February: Zanjutsu
 * March: Hohō
 * April: Kidō
 * May: Hakuda
 * June: Zanjutsu
 * July: Hohō
 * August: Hakuda
 * September: Kidō
 * October: Zanjutsu
 * November: Hohō
 * December: Hakuda

For this month of December, as the last month of 2014, we will start with Hakuda. So start looking things up and presenting below in the comments! --Silver-Haired Seireitou (Dosvidaniya, tovarisch.) 03:09, December 14, 2014 (UTC)
