Nitojutsu Revamp[Done]

[Tyro]

Nitojutsu (dual sword style) is the art of using two swords, rather than one. The art of Nitojutsu ( dual wield sword) was considered at first unethical, used only in conjunction with mental practices or yoga, but not practical combat.. Disliked by traditional masters of Kenjutsu for being dishonorable, Nitojutsu has made large strides in usage and effectiveness. It's principals have been defined into a style that works to confuse enemies in a flurry of strikes, keep many at bay with sweeping strikes, and maintain the acrobatic magnificence of that expected of two swords. Masters of this sword art are renowned for their expertise in speed, accuracy, and control, all of which are essential to its success.

Requirements

Taijutsu Primaries or Secondaries
Two WEAPONS, of virtually any kind! cannot be two broadswords or nodachi for instance, because of obvious weight issues, unless the user has a way to compensate. Use common sense. Acceptable are also paired weapons such as a katana and wakizashi or sword and dagger.

The huge majority of this looks good.

Only a few things:

1. Replace "stamina" with "chakra". We no longer have a stamina system. Now taijutsu, genjutsu and ninjutsu all just use chakra now.

2. I don't understand how your tier 1 mastery works. Training weights increase a user's speed because your body eventually adapts to having them on, so once you take that weight off you suddenly feel much much lighter. How does simply holding swords in your hands for awhile make you move faster? Swords don't exactly weigh all that much, for one, and for two, it's not like you're removing that weight- by holding the swords you're still carrying the weight.

[Tyro]

Fixed. Had some troubled coming up with Masteries, but everything should be corrected.

[Exar Kun]

Fair enough- looks good.
