As part of your training, you will need to learn a stance of combat and a breathing technique to engage your enemies in battle. As you build your Demon Slayer, remember that you need to have had a special kind of training to become one. Usually, a slayer possesses enhanced strength, speed, stamina, agility, mobility of the joints, or extreme resistance to pain.

It's even common for some of the swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps to have naturally enhanced senses, which they use in combination with existing breathing styles or to develop new breathing styles.

Breathing Styles are specific patterns of concentrated breath used to increase the user's lung capacity and the amount of oxygen in the blood. This increase allows the slayer to enhance their physical abilities and mental concentration, enabling them to fight on par with Demons, whose physical prowess surpasses that of the average human. Focused Breathing is also capable of clotting wounds from severe injuries and slowing down the circulation of poison in the bloodstream.

It's possible for a swordsman to use more than one Breathing Style technique at a time, allowing the slayer to take advantage of the advantageous aspects of both techniques.
