Well, if you want the quickest draw, I say go for a shorter sword, like a wakizashi, kodachi, or tanto. However if you're specifically using the katana then I don't really know too much. I know some kenjutsu techniques and tricks, but I'm not officially attenting a kenjutsu dojo at the moment.

The choice of the size of the sword you draw should depend a lot on the distance you must negotiate.

NO! Not tricks! Tricks are things that Americanized TKD and Karate practitioners use while doing tornado kicks and dancing around to whatever song is currently popular. Techniques are good, skills are good, form is good. Tricks are worthless.

Precisely, as well as the techniques used by the art, and the preference of the sensei.

Hey now, Parkour is a very European thing. But I agree with that last bit.
