I go about it as more focused on my characters way of attacking then the attack itself. Some of this also reflects the MMA I took classes in also. I think Damon got that part for me though.

Aaron is supposed to give off a reluctant "silent demon" type vibe when he fights. I describe how he doesn't talk or make a sound when attacking, avoids direct eye contact, and gives off a regretful demeanor when he lands a blow. This sort of reflects me when I do matches. Im not the biggest guy out there lol I can't look someone in the eye when I strike a blow because im a lil too nice for that XD. I also feel bad if I win, I guess Aaron reflects that.

Next is how he goes about the attack. I portray it as he uses his speed and agility to his advantage . His hits almost always target important areas that control sensory or motor movement such as the shoulders, eyes, ears, biceps, right below the knee, hamstrings etc. And when I write it I show in the action that the move if it hits most likely will render that area damn near useless if using physics lol (but I still make it ambiguous so the other person can decide)

With the defensive part, it all depends on your character. Do they prefer dodging? Blocking? Partying? Make it unique! Aaron likes to dance around his enemies dodging (he doesn't wear armor and dual wields so blocking is a bad idea). So ill showcase him sidestepping, pivoting or on rarer cases parrying and blocking lesser blows.

Honestly I view fight rp as more about how your character goes about fighting over the attack or defense themself. When I see "Goes for a slash at the chest) it feels like my character is fighting a robot.

Caex is a absolutely beautiful rp fighter. When I rped with him with Aaron his detail was so goddamn good Aaron is terribly afraid to fight him again IC because he was so savage. 

It's also why I said to Ramona Caex is turn 21 if you let him get close to you. He was manhandling her when Aaron got there.
