Some of you don't understand the meaning of Attack Defense because you rather just attack and hipe it lands. But in actuality when you attack, you attempt your attack still before you say your character left the attacks and is now in a different area. Your opponent has the right to state their counter before you say you jumped 30ft away in a matter of seconds after your attack.
When you attack, you must keep in mind that as you're attacking your opponent still has to avoid/block/or dodge your attack. So you stating you have attacked with your blade then jumped back to a safe distance cant be done until your foe has replied to your attack. So what you need to do is use an attack that will give you a proper escape point from a counter-attack. This meaning if you attack with your blade, and you leave an open spot, saying you full force swung your sword at the persons head, they can say they ducked it and thrust their blade at your exposed stomach, your continuing post wont hold up with that actually happening.
Ex: Increasing his power by manipulating his energy within his blade it gave him an added amount of pressure causing the blade to being able to slice though a sheet of titanium metal. Second later Person A ran at Person B, closing the gap of 10ft to only 2ft, then with a might swing, Person a's blade sails to the ribs of Person B, then after Person A jumps into the air and lands 20ft away hoping his attack landed.
Ok, that example is what I am referring to. You see, Person A stated all his actions in the post along with his attack but left numerous amounts of openings that person B, in their post, can attack. Just because Person A stated they jumped 20ft away after his attack doesn't have to be followed by Person B because now you are telling them they cant attack you because you are already in a safe zone. This is what I mean:

Seconds later Person A ran at Person B, closing the gap of 10ft to only 2ft, then with a mighty swing, Person A's blade sails to the ribs of Person B, then after Person A jumps into the air and lands 20ft away hoping his attack landed.

Continue EX: Seeing the power increase of Person A, Person B tool hold of his own blade, waiting till Person A came within range to do his move. Seconds pass as Person B takes the time to change his footing to allow himself more maneuverability in doing his next action. Seeing the blade sailing at this ribs, Person B knew the increase in pressure will throw his foe off balance due to its over exertion with effort. Dropping down forwards, to land on all fours, avoiding the colossal blades strike making it gracefully flow above his back un-harming his well being, but at that very instance as the blade was out of a dangerous point in time, Person B looked up at the exposed belly of Person A, and lunged forwards with his blade tip, regaining his footing, still in a crouched down manner, and attempted to stab the open area.
As you can see the dodge/counter allowed Person B the time to avoid then attack his foe, not having to go by Person A's statement of him not being there. You must be able to attack and give yourself time or an escape route just in case counters like Person B did won't have such huge effect on you. What Person A should have done was:
Ex: Increasing his power by manipulating his energy within his blade it gave him an added amount of pressure causing the blade to being able to slice through a sheet of titanium metal. Seconds later Person A ran at Person B closing the gap of 10ft to only 2ft, then with a might swing, Person A's blade sails to the ribs of Person B. Never over powering his movements to toss himself off balance, he moved his left hand to his wakizashi blade handle, creating a spinning motion to the left, since the attacking blade will increase his twist allowing himself the opportunity to draw his blade at the same time to perhaps block a counter attack that may cause serious damage to Person A's form, and life.
This example is the meaning of Attack Defense. If you close openings, or make your movements easy to get out of, or make them a continuing motion, you will be able to not leave gaps in your attack that your foe can ultimately capitalize on in their posts.
Length is not the answer
Prancing along the sight of him was most amusing. Chibi at last, Soki only stood about 2ft and 11 inches tall. Quite tall for his age, he gazed on with candy coated eyes. Full of sugar and tea, but the hazel color hid that. "HeHe, what a pleasant surprise!" A squeak of words hummed from his lips on the approach of a gardenia person. Such creatures did exist for the most part, but Chibi Soki never faced one. With his array of colors within his energy, the young lad's ability of elemental manipulation was his greatest ally.
By giving 2% of his energy, in a strand like form, it latches onto the most lush of elements there. Be it earth, wind/air, fire, water or even gravity. The usage of gravity was in a flight and close range effect. Having his long gown swaying in the suns rays, the black color looked to fade some, then resonate back. Enchanted some may think, but no, it was just pretty. Along his feet area, were clouds of black smoke. Bubbling up from the group in replace of his feet, Soki halted in a redwood forest area. Filled with trees that rivaled sky-scrapers.
Massive trunks break forth from ground and reach high as the eye can see. The branches close in on each other, creating the look of an enclosed area. A bed of dried twigs and crumbled leaves fill the ground, with the intense humidity of the nights rain. Phantom fog lightly covers the flooring as well, moving as majestic as the sea itself. Breaking its ties together, Soki took a few hovering steps forwards, then stopped again. Grinning with his white teeth, the K-9's show brilliant as though he grinds them to a point. The cyclonic boy looks on into the abysmal darkness that cuts from the soft rays of the sun that break through from the tops of the canvassed trees.
"Alas, this should be fit for our scuffle." A voice of gruesome shrills combine to words of cheering tongue. Pail white in complexion, Soki's skin turns cold with desire for the exhibition fight at hand, as his spiked purple hair gently bends forwards from the chilled breeze that flowed curiously from behind his form. From his core soul, the energy within his body can be manifested into what he feels will aid him in battle. so thus, the time moves on, as the waiting souls, wait to commence.

Characterization Basic Elements
"Well, here is the main point of the topic... to help a fighter last for a longer period of time within a battle. Here is a list of the following that may be taught. None of these are real and none of them have taken place."
--Energy Conservation--
Energy conservation can be easily taught by using the surroundings to your advantage. Spotting trees and using the direction of the wind can help out a lot and even change the outcome of a battle. Using the area as part of your technique will save a lot of energy and your stamina will not drop so swiftly.
EXAMPLE:[////:: Dust flew up from below Kenji's feet as he moved with speed. His flash step blurred his movements. Each step he took left only dust slowly rising up into the air. A chill reached the area as Kenji appeared in front of a tree and ice particles began to form around the blade of Tenrai-Urufu. Kenji swung his Zanpakutou's blade towards the ground and sent up countless dirt clumps into the air. He struck another blow against the dirt clumps and they were sent flying towards the tree. The ice whipped out like a vine and struck the dirt clumps, freezing them into sharp ice shards. the ice shards flew at an incredible speed, from within Kenji stood and the tree was, the distance was approximately twelve feet.::////]
--Elemental Control & Manipulation--
Elemental control and manipulation. The ability to control an element and the ability to manipulate an element are actually two different concepts. Controlling an element allows you to wield an element to your own needs. Manipulation of an element is allowing an element to be created and roam freely as if it were it's own being. Your body flows with the element, and you're not just using it to protect you or for attacks.
EXAMPLE:[////::The ice around the blade danced gracefully, majestically forming around to make a chain. It sparkled in the shining light and willowed to the ground. Beams were attracted to the ice chain as Kenji swiftly swung the blade, allowing the ice chain's motion to twirl around him and seem to glitter as it danced.::////]
--Combination Techniques--
Combination techniques may be occasionally very difficult to use, simply because it is easy to power-mind without consent of what you are combining together. Combining techniques can lower energy exponentially, so using basic combinations are requested to be used more often and it will still be effective. But if in a dilemma, combining techniques that involve elements and abilities would be extremely helpful, but requested to only be used when you are really into the battle.
Example:[////;;Kenji gripped the hilt of his Zanpakutou tightly in his hands and released it from its sheathe. The blade swung down on Soki's shoulder and Kenji had his left leg aiming his knee to Soki's stomach.;;////]
--Two-Post Combination Technique--
Two-Post combination techniques is probably one of the very hardest to successfully obtain control of. It is where you post a technique or an attack and you have a second post to go along with it, but your opponent must first fall for the first post. You must have a creative mind to use such a powerful force and you must acknowledge what the outcome may be. Obtaining this certain type of strength allows you to gain victory very easily.
EXAMPLE:////::Behind his four ice walls, Kenji released a total of seven ice dragons heading towards Soki. One ice dragon headed towards his chest, a second one to his exposed backside, another at the direction of his left side, another to his right, and quickly one head above Soki along one tagged along right after the one comming in from above::////]
|;;|Soki formed multiple hand signs and created, within milliseconds, a giant fireball intensely surrounding his entire structure and wait untill the dragons had melted.::////]
[////;;Kenji smirked as there were only six Soki destroyed and he smiled. The final seventh ice dragon dug up from under the ground directly it erupted beneath Soki ::////]
Of course correct description of these posts must be made, this is just a quick sample. Note that the battle had to actually take place for the example post to make complete sense.
