Any one no any efective ways of yousing a sord. I know a little bit about yusing a sord. I know a kata of it.

by sord I assume you mean sword. as for effecrive ways of using one, that would depend greatly on the sword. A katana handles different to a rapier, and a raper handles different to a Dao and a Dao handles different to a hand-and-A-half sword.

Basics of swordsmanship is simple: hold the blunt end and swing the sharp end at your enemy.

To be a good swordsman needs a good blend of balance, confidence and above all (IMO) foot-work.

hope this helps

ill tell you what my chun kuk do instructor told me, find a professional swordsman to show you so you dont kill yourself. books, internet, and any kinda reading on how to use swords is not really going to help you, you need live instruction, one, so you dont kill yourself and two, so you can be corrected on your mistakes and believe me you are going to make alot of mistakes at first.

a couple of styles to check into that i am currently practicing are kendo and iaido
