In Zorthut he has his sword resting on his shoulder while having his shoulder and hips cocked towards the right or left against the opponent ready to swing at any point, almost like a baseball player.

"Mordhau" Murder-stroke
D-rank Taijutsu stance
The Mordhau is an unusual technique used to defeat armor and cause little damage towards the blade. By grabbing the blade with both hands Mondai can use his sword and smash with either the guard of the blade or the pommel. Using the blade as an improvised bludgeon. This makes it so that the blade gains 3+ str to armor but loses 3+ against unarmored foes.
"Halbschwimmen" Half-swording
D-rank Taijutsu stance
Same concept as the Mordhau except for a different approach by grabbing his sword normally by the grip and then grabbing the blade further up the point he can gain more control over the sword and thrust in between the gaps of the armor essentially bypassing the problem. He also can grapple more easily since his hands are so close to the blade while in this stance. While half-swording Mondai gains more control of the blade and is able to put more power into the thrusts but because of the nature of this stance, he isn't as mobile. Mondai gains a -3 speed debuff but gains a +3 str against armor.
Quote:D-rankButcher's stompAn aggressive, flashy and brutal style of fighting. Revolving around the use of Mondai's Moonlight great-sword. This style uses the combination of weird timing, aggression, and range to destroy his enemies. Combined with huge sweeps with an extremely long reach and damage that can cut nearly around Mondai's whole body. Make Mondai incredibly hard to get close to. Not only that but if they do, this fighting style also has variety of slams, strikes and throws if anyone gets into close quarters. [Rigid body, Sword weapons, Acrobatics, CQC]
