These two models want to do sword fighting poses so I want to look for good combat poses for them to try.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL-j8h8Ca3o&list=PLFei6EEuJdKca0Go4hCz6alSUN21Rul-y

these are playlists of dark souls movesets. there's a lot there so i left it up to you to dig around (sorry), but i think you'll find some cool poses out of the movesets for the swords. i'm currently powerstancing uchis in 2, and i feel like a huge bad ass for it, so check that one out.

Yes.

Also, these are real swords so I don't want any of us to get injured.

I'm so glad this is second post. There are so many enjoyable sword fighting scenes that I've seen over the years, but the first one that always comes to mind is princess bride.

What helps is the fact that the techniques/styles they're mentioning are real and the fight is choreographed by actual fencers to be like a real sword fight. It's basically the most realistic example of a sword fight that exists in mainstream media.

That's so cool. I have always loved swashbucklers in particular and seeing that kind of fencing reminds me of those old school Errol Flynn type movies or the Zorro ones.

Cept there's like 4 times in that fight where they could have easily took advantage and merc'd their opponent.
Flipping during a fight is 100% always a bad idea.

I meant during the actual fighting. The showboating between clashes is obviously not.

Thanks for the videos everyone, I will take a look! She's apparently already packing her swords now even though it wouldn't be for a few days.

my favorite ones are:

Kill Bill vol 1 (entire second half of the movie)
Princess Bride (already posted)
House of Flying Daggers (any scene with swords in it, basically)
Hero (has Jet Li, probably pretty hard to search just on name, see above)

And if we count Anime, Saber Alter vs Archer Illya

Vader going all epic badass at the end of Rogue One, if you consider that a "fight" and not a "massacre".

Yeah that wasn't really a fight and he didn't use the lightsaber on half of them.
