I'm sorry [@Vordak], I had your same concern, which is why I had a few people read it over. They seemed to understand it. I think I also described what I was doing, not just using fencing terminology. For example here

[quote]Brennus moved his right foot forward, [b]striking in gran passata[/b] towards his left shoulder. A gran passata allowed the fighter to cover large distances, but was difficult to control.[/quote] 

I think I explained what a gran passata is, by adding that sentence. Same with Florian's passata, I specify he moves his left, non-dominant, foot forward, like Brennus did, except without the attack at the end. 

A beat is a fencing technique yes, but it is also used as a measure of time, like in many other combat sports. This may be my fault though, perhaps I didn't use the correct english term to translate it? 

And about the fist position, I suppose you are correct. I will say here second position is with the palm of the hand facing downwards, so Florian's sword is horizontal, point facing left, protecting his upper body. I will also edit that into the IC for clarity. 

However you are correct, and your rant is justified. I'm glad this fight at least has spectators ;D

[@Melonhead] I'm sorry, if you're having the same issues I will go and edit things more. 

edit: let me just get rid of that fist position thing. I can see why issues would arise. Anyway, all this has been edited, so you should be able to read it without googling anything.
