I could use some good combat RP. It's been forever since I had a nice, fun fight. I'd be up for it on most of my characters, honestly =) The only one I'd be uncomfortable doing combat on is Melfice.
That out of the way, there's a lot of ways you can practice combat RP! My greatest tip is to make sure that you are as clear in your attacks as you can possibly be. If you're a physical fighter, make sure to denote limb position, stance, speed of the attack, proposed strength behind it, angle, etc. For ranged casters, really just try to describe the spell as well as you can, and the same for ranged shooting arrows and the like.
One way, when I first started combat RP a long time ago, that we practiced was a minigame sort of thing. One person would post, then the other person would have to try to make a post longer than the previous, and then they'd respond and it had to be longer than that. It went on until the person couldn't best the other in the length of their post. It was meant to help us be more descriptive in our fights, and just all-around fun!
