Hehe that's awesome, very well coreographed and good effects too.
I'd say the glasses guy's form is very similar to fencing (hence the hand behind his back) and the other's seems like a Chinese sword style (very flash)

Yea Ryan (the guy without the glasses) nice job there. Never have the point of anything pointy pointing towards yourself. Especially a light saber. Smooth.

When I first saw it I was like, wow. I felt like it was better than just about any of the duels you find in the movies. Very well choreographed indeed. The sequence where they were fighting and rolling on the ground was pretty cool. And then how Michael, the guy with glasses, would fight dirty then got pissed and started swinging with both hands after he got popped in the face, that was a nice touch. And the tug-o-war over the lightsaber at the end, very original and unexpected.

These guys get

4 thumbs up. I'd give them more, but I'm out of thumbs.

After seeing it, I believe it. Decided to check out TheForce.net, I can watch these videos all day. I recommend the Injured Stormtropper video, lol.
