Sword Fight

[Darth J'Zal]

All,

I would really appreciate some help from anyone trained in sword fighting (broadsword as opposed to fencing). I'm writing a fight scene and would like to use accurate terminology to describe it.

Thanks.

i am not trained in broadsword techniques, but i am trained in kendo (japanese swordfighting) and ninja swordfighting. if you need to know anything, please ask.

It's for a sci-fi story. I have two alien warriors fighting for supremacy. It starts as a ritualistic fight, but turns into an actual "once started it could only end in death or quarter" fight. One is stronger and has more endurance. The other is more agile and cunning and will win the fight because he's able to keep his opponent on the offensive and wears him out. Some thing like: every trust evaded, etc. I know there are specific terms for those sort of moves.

Is that the sort of thing you could help with?
