The way you describe your play is very much came from Hollywood or HongKong. The real sword fight is very dangerous and need the consent from adults because the techniques are to hit your opponent, not his sword. Therefore it doesn't look interesting like the movie, no bashing, no flying, and no dancing.

im 19, and we do go for body shots, it may be alot like "hollywood" but we have lots of fun and it is serious training, even if it may not be "kendo" or anything.

what im really trying to say is, will learning kendo help me with sword movements and such so that i can incorperate them into the way i fight now, or will i have to learn the style as a whole and having to commit to everything in the style and drop my old movments and patterns.

What you're doing now is unrelated to any serious study of swordplay, so I suggest to avoid negative comments, avoid this site. You might be able to find something closer to what you want if you post in the general area at swordforum.com.

sorry i would have to dissagree with you there, even though what i described to you may seem all "hollywood" and just for show, we actualy do fight seriously and each of us has developed our own unique style. im not looking to devote myself to an entire style, im looking to improove the style that i am already comfortable and rather proficiant with.
