"Alright. Biggest thing to remember: do not flinch. In a swordfight, if you flinch when your opponent strikes at you he knows he can beat you easily. It's hard at first, but once you know what you're doing it's a lot easier. Now, one handed, how far up and down you grip the handle will determine if you have more power or control. Control is better when you need to slice so you can line up your blade properly and power is better when you have a wider target and can afford to aim a little less." [b][i]He said, a simulated version of his blade now in Angelo's hand.[/i][/b] "Two hands, your top hand is your power hand, and you bottom is your control hand. You generally have more of both control and power with two hands, but of course you lose the extra empty hand."
