Ah, sorry to put you on the spot for the sword style stuff. In fact he just said "sword classes" instead of fencing. I guess I'm just too used to fencing being a common thing.
As is, strip(or line) fencing is the white outfit, spring back and forth, one hand only fencing and tends to only be done with light weapons(epees and foils). Focus is on speed and precision, but no offhand use.
Combat fencing lets you use something in your offhand and uses heavier rapiers.(sabres and the like) They also allow draw-cuts. (Slice cuts of 6 continuous inches count as a hit on that body part)
Fighting case is duel-wielding. (since you have a set of them) Powerful combo, but harder to learn and (if using swords of the same/similar length) is pretty much worthless if the opponent gets inside your guard.
Fighting gauntlet is using your open offhand to bat/grab blades under the assumption that you have a steel gauntlet covering you hand. Essentially you redirect the force with your hand or grab the blade before it can build up momentum. Could also be used for brawling(punching, disarming, shoving) if we go real life with it.
Fighting cloak is fighting with a weighted cloth (couple pounds) that you use to affect the movement of the opponents blade. I have never seen anyone successfully fight this way in real life.
Staff (aka rigid-parrying device) should be pretty obvious. Never fought with it/learned how to use it so I couldn't tell you pros/cons other than multitasking two long weapons is hard.
Dagger is a great combo; a longer sword to keep/kill them at a decent distance, a shorter blade that gets you a kill if you get in close. You can also gain control of your enemies blade pretty well. You use your dagger to redirect a chunk of the force coming from the opponents blade (becuase you have a more rigid, less extended weapon you have more torque I guess is the word? You can exert a much greater force multiplier in a specific area then the opponents sword, so you require much less force to bend/defeat your opponents blade) or if you hold the dagger on the opponents weapon before they build up too much momentum, you can keep them from swinging it with any force at all.(really, really easy force/strength wise)
Difficulty overall for learning is Gauntlet<shield/buckler<dagger<staff=case
Overall I enjoy accurate depictions of fighting and being able to use the knowledge of fighting that I've acquired over the years. Feel free to tell me to tone it down a bit though.
