One more note to differentiate Carmine from Adam is that Carmine is more dependent of the standard 2 hand grip style and he also uses 5 different methods of one school(i forgot to tell ya that he also schooled there before "that" event)Here are the five styles(This is named after the five great swords of japan)

Mikazuki:Average power,Average speed,Good range the most well rounded of the five,is actually the most powerful but it's true strength is that it is capable of follow ups from the other styles.The easy to learn hard to master type of style.The stance is simply holding the sword in front of you with two hands,feet are parallel to each other.

Ootenta:The style with the highest attack speed,but low power,mostly utilizes thrusting attacks,can only be followed up by a move from the Onimaru style or the Mikazuki style.Stance is having the blade held beside the ribs with a bit of distance,the tip facing the opponent,the position of your feet depend on your blade(for example if the blade's held at the left side,your right foot should be forward)

Onimaru:The style with the highest defensive power,but has the lowest movement speed,this is a counter attack style as the strikes feel more like crushing instead of slicing due to the force behind each blow,can be followed up by a hit from the Mikazuki style or the Doujigiri style.Stance is holding the blade slightly above and front your forehead the side of the blade is facing outward,your best foot forward.

Doujigiri:The style with the highest mobility available,but the weakest in attack speed as it's only limited to 1-2 hits,perfect for chasing down a target or dealing the first hit,can be followed up by the Juzumaru style or the Ootenta style.Stance is holding the blade with your dominant hand only beside the waist,similar to sheathed position except it is out of the scabbard.The legs are in a position for running easily.

Juzumaru:The style with the highest offensive capabitlity,but the weakest in defensive capability,this style is focused on the one-hit-kill draw slice,however this is also the second hardest to master.Can be followed up with the Onimaru style Or the Mikazuki style.Stance is the basic lai stance but with the legs lowered and the upper torso bent a bit lower.
