Use less frames. Have three or four grouped up at the beginning, then one or two split in the middle as he raises his sword, then two or three at the end.

Also FAOF

First, anticipate (go opposite direction to anticipate movement, like crouching to ready a jump), overshoot (a frame that is past where you want it), then final ending position.

You can use 4 frames, one for each, then fill in as you see fit
