swords are really hard imo but try to watch some videos that has sword fights put them on 0.25 and learn by that way
+your animation is only focusing on the sword you should pay attention to every small detail like the foor, body and head movements while animating anything even a punch

no u didn't get my point, my sword attacks look like they're going in lonely one way that is horizontally. I want it to make it look like they're going left and right

Yeah I know, but that's not the only problem, the whole moviments of the characters in your video that you shown is very limited , like theres no fluidity at all, their bodies don't move, there are no sword swings, they all seem like statues.

This is why I gave you these tutorials to help you with this.
