Description
As the name "two sword" suggested, the style was based around fighting with two weapons, one in each hand. What made this style special was the simultaneous use of each of these weapons for both offense and defense, that is, to attack and to parry, using each weapon like a shield.
Training
As the name suggested, would-be users needed to learn how to fight with two weapons simultaneously. Ideally, they would be completely ambidextrous, but this talent was very rare. Those who lacked this natural talent first learned the basics and then tried to master it either with more diligent training (such as under a house weapon master) or resorting to magical aid.
Reputation
The style was difficult to learn and only those with both the natural talent and the luxury of formal training were capable of truly mastering it.
