Lightning Flash Sword

Lightning Flash Sword is a style whose history is not entirely our own. It draws from the sword forms of Fusao, across the eastern sea. They say the kenshi of Fusao are reluctant to kill, but very good at it; thus their style always endeavors to remain sheathed, yet draws and cuts with plasma-arc speed. In the same motion they flick away blood and return to their sheath. Speak softly and carry a sharp sword; eat, breathe and shit as one who has his sword drawn. They brought this style here, or we learned it there, or a ronin met a youxia somewhere in the middle and kissed -- Lightning Flash Sword was born. 

This style is sometimes practiced with the sword, sometimes with the lighter forms of saber, and sometimes unarmed using only the first two fingers as if they were a blade. It uses Yin forms to gain Momentum if an opponent slips up, and Fire forms to fall on them in a fury when they do.  Many of Lightning Flash's forms ask whether your blade is drawn or sheathed; even unarmed, a practitioner assumes the "sheathed" position in a low stance, hands back at the waist as if resting on a hilt.
