The claymore is the big brother to a sabre, and there is very little finesse or technique with the claymore -- just slash away!
In fencing, each weapon has a different scoring system: epees have a little hooked prong on the tip of the blade, which must be engaged in the opponent's tunic. Foil has a rubber button on the end, which must be placed directly against the body. In either epee or foil, a touch with the side of the blade doesn't count for anything.
Sabre, on the other hand, requires a touch with the edged portion of the sword in order to score.
Today, the foil, sabre and epee and run electronically, and the fencers do battle on an electronic piste, that automatically registers hits.
Claymores were greatly used in Scotland, where they went in for hand to hand fighting. With a claymore, you could lop of a head, or a hand, but you couldn't really do any of the skilled swordsmanship you see in the movies. (Which is all carefully choreographed!) It was much too big and too heavy. In fact, it took a pretty strong person to wield one!

This is the best reference I can give, it is supposed to have alot of good pictures of different techniques, otherwise, it would be a good idea for you to get involved with a Renaissance fighter group, they are usually a wealth of information on fighting and techniques as well as pros and cons of different swords.

If you are talking the sword.....power and momentum behing the swing...use primarily from horse back due to the length and weight. If you are talking about the mine..... anti personnell....squeeze the trigger and everything in a fan out to about 300 meters is vaporized

I'm not an expert but, due to its size, wouldn't it mostly be a constant slashing technique?
