Help with Character planning and optimization and tactics?

Looking at the martial arts books where it talks about the styles and stuff, LOTS of weird techniques seem interesting...

Feint (Shield)
Feint (Broadsword)
Retain Weapon (Broadsword)
Targeted Attack (Broadsword Thrust - Vitals)
Targeted Attack (Broadsword Thrust - Vitals chinks)
Targeted Attack (Broadsword Swing - Arm)
Counterattack (Broadsword)
Disarming (Broadsword)
Bind Weapon (Broadsword)
Armed Grapple (Shield)
Trip

As you can see, this is wayyyy unmanageable. I need a few, simple things to focus on! Maybe some help figuring out what is, you know, generally good strategy in general, to get the most use out of the smallest number of 'Techniques'?

Maybe someone could help me with some simple things to do, so I can have an idea how to USE the stuff in this martial arts book, and plan out how I am going to react in fights?

Like, some, "In this scenario, do this. In this scenario, do this..." sort of thing?
