Here is a fun time I had cutting with my APOC Yataghan and the BCI Sinmalayat. I think I did rather ok for never using two blades at the same time.

Awesome! Those are two great little cutters. I might need a BCI sword. Nice cuts.
One unsolicited tip for two sword cutting - once you finish a cut, default to bringing the inactive sword up into a high guard over the shoulder rather than dangling it low. This sets you up for the next cut, keeps it out of the way, and puts it in a better position for defensive postures. This is a good thing to do unless you have another specific task to accomplish at that moment for that sword.
One simple pattern is: start with each sword on a guard over your shoulder. Right hand cuts forehand, backhand. Right hand sword resets to high guard after backhand cut. Left hand cuts forehand, backhand, then resets over left shoulder in high guard.

I will have to do some practice with those patterns.
