I just do fancy things around and I like to do crazy acrobatic stunts, though machetes are easier to handle, I've been handling swords for years now.
Katanas are not expensive.. less you like getting ripped off.
i just found this for a visual reference:

by using your other hand to guide the sword, you dont have to look at it and can keep your eyes on whats around you.
