RJ is not a sword expert, and neither are we. In this way, RJ can cloak his ignorance of sword fighting in these vague sword forms and allow our minds to supply the details. Each form suggests a unique image to our minds. I enjoy letting my imagination fill in the blanks in these fights.
You are absolutely right. Each form does bring something to mind but it just irks me that we don't know what they are doing most of the time. sometime descriptions are included with the sword form but its the ones that don't have anything describing them that gets to me.

Culturally it's probably an accurate description. It is 16th/17th century

I agree - IRL I often notice that it's less "men" vs "women", and moreso personality clashes.

I'm of the opinion that blademasters are not the match of a powerful warrior

It's less of a theme and more like a case of mental derangement

Attempting to pronounce the dang names. I like the names, but they're so hard to pronounce. *NM*
