-Lifty picks up a stick on the ground and begins to try to imitate Cloud-

When I was a little kid, I was inta those samurai movies! The way they swung their swords around was so cool!

Course, we had to sneak you into the theater every time a new movie came out. Could never afford the ticket~

Okay... I'm a bit taller than you, so give me a second to work this out.

Alright. First of all, adjust your grip. Move your hands here, and relax your elbows. -Shows him-

-nods- Good. Now spread your feet a bit, they're too close together.

For the sake of conveniece, let's say that after that knobbly bit there is where the "blade" starts.

-shrugs-

-to Lifty and the Orz- Swordplay is like chess. There are simple, universal maneuvres that everyone knows, that can be combined to form more complex manueuvres that one can bend to their own style. You can't just push all the strong pieces onto the field and hope it works; you have to plan your attack, glean your opponent's strategy as you fight to find a hole in their defenses.

But before you can do any of that, you have to know what each piece does.

So. I guess we'll start with movements. A horizontal cut should look like this. -Shows him- Notice how I use not only my arms, but my wrists in directing the blade. That's because the sword is an extension of yourself. You should move as though it is. It's not a baseball bat. Every movement should travel outwards, from your shoulder to the tip of the blade.

Hah, this is much more complicated than I thought.... but who cares, I'm still goin with it....

-Lifty imitates the horizontal swing to the best of his ability, strictly remembering to use his wrists-

-nods- Good, although try to relax your arms a bit. However, you should pick a spot to stop at, and stop there. You moved your arm all the way around, and you need to pay attention to your follow-through. You don't want your own blade behind you when your arm is in front of you, not to mention it's a safety hazard. -Shows him again-

-Some tall grass appears in the room...-

NoLegs: ... That is obviously suspicious... I think we should keep away.

If you're a LoL player, you'd knwo what happens if someone does go too close. And for those who don't play LoL, I'll say he's showed up before, during a point at which no one was in the room.

IT'S A POKEYMEN!

-imitates Cloud with his battlemech-

He'll be in the battlemech during his instance in the room until further notice. It's not that big.
