Well, a sword trail is unrealistic, but I can make you guys an example.
it is possible in real life tho under the right lightning circumstances. but even those circumstances are hard for me to understand just yet.
working on examples now, done soon.
edit:
added sword trail and hammer example

I see , but what if this time , it hits the ceiling instead ? I'm sure the results is quite different . Will the debris shoot towards the ground , or just shoot off diagonally ?

the same as if you would hit the ground, but slightly faster because the gravity is pulling it down, and ofcourse the loose debris that normally would be on the ground, will fall down because there's no ground holding it down.

Don't really know much about jcamelo's animations but i gave it a try, just super fast kicking and punching,
all you have to do is take away frames from a normal punch or kick:
normal:


Fast:


as for walking, just follow watch videos or walk yourself and study the movements. but here's a little example:
First you set 4 main keys:

Then you inbetween those keys:

(I inbetweened it twice to make it slower)
End result:

Quote from smallaballabows and guns mostly, firing weapons
I made an example for a simple gunshot:
idle pose mizzle flash bullet arm reciol slide back smoke dissolve flash and smoke. slider goes normal
1.Idle pose.
2.Gun is being shot, arm goes a bit back for recoil, muzzleflash is showing, gun slider is going back and a bullet casing is coming out. theres a little bit smoke from the barrel to.
3. smoke and flash are dissolving, arm is at its most back point and ready to move forward, slider is back to normal position.
4. arm moves to idle pose, smoke is dissolved.

And finished product added a invert shades at the gunflash (press the jing and yang sign on the right of easytoon)

Animate as you always do, then on the frame where you want the flash just press this button:
