[He swings the sword and it's better. Faster, closer to the right form. Dirk has always been a fast learner. The thing that he's lacking here is an inability to stop the last-second flinch. It never comes to it with how easily Dave can block him, and it's something he's long since learned to suppress in krav, but as someone who has barely handled a sword trying to swing it as his brother, some part of him can't stop holding back, can't stop being ready to flinch the weapon away at the last second to keep Dave safe.]
