I'd make them closer. I'd also try arching the back more and tilting the neck and head down so they were straining more

"Realism"? If you want that, it helps to swing a sword. Physically swing a sword so you get the idea in your mind's eye. If you have a heavy sword, or a frypan, or a baseball or cricket bat, try moving it around. Would your hands, wrists, arms look like what you've posed?

If you want symmetry and "rule of cool"? Then it's good. No worries at all.

That's what i want -- more power.

The bent wrists in the foreground of your image? For a power stroke with a broadsword or longsword? You want the wrist to be more straight.

I'm not sure why they are leaping and leaning forward like that. (There could be a reason, but it's not obvious.) It's easier to generate more power when you're well grounded. It all begins with good footwork. Leaping and jumping can be done, but if there's a purpose, it's not obvious. Sword is very singular like that.

Maybe watch good sword fights in the movies or sword style martial arts clips on youtube. Power starts with good feet, being well grounded, and being able to transfer the energy through to the blade. Many muscles between feet and hand, and in coordination with the blade (as an extension of the body).

Sorry, I mean for them to be flying. i don'tb have the wings yet either so i igured I'd prepare a pose while i hunt and wait for stuff.

 

I'm actually experienced with weapons martial arts.i just can't see that well and posing isn't my strong area. that's why i was asking for a favor if anyone has the time.  not that i don't want to do it myself...

Rotate the arms in the front a little from the upper arm and adjust the angle of the those swords by adding a slight bend to the elbow, so it looks more like they were sweeping their arms instead of posing them.

It's usually a good idea when you want to rotate a joint, to start that rotation one or two joints in advance already. Spread out the rotation over multiple joints, so to speak. That's what your body does too, when you turn your head, there are multiple joints in your spine turning with it, not just one. You even have to conciously restrain yourself to keep your shoulders straight, or those will slightly edge into the turn as well. When you raise your arm, your shoulder and even part of your chest follow that rotation as well (or actually, they take some of the workload away from your arm).

There are plenty of excellent sword fighting pose set in the store,  and you will benefit by just looking at the promo images. Focus on body balance, power of the swing, positioning,  and gravity or lack of gravity.
