Fencing gesture study

I've been looking at some Disney art, and I love how the animators capture flow and motion by exaggerating the gesture. Decided to give it a shot by using some fencing poses as reference.
I think I need to exaggerate a bit more. What do you guys think?
Reference!

Poses 5

More timed poses, as before, using OnAirVideo for reference, and FUNKYMONKEY1945 as inspiration/teacher. :)
As always, critique is very much appreciated.

More pose sketches

Been super busy at work (promotion, baby, yeah!)
Have some more timed figure sketches.
What am I learning from this? That non-static poses are a challenge for me, and that I need more practice.
