Keeping your grip on a weapon is fairly difficult when you have your full hand wrapped around it. Now try to keep hold of your weapon when you're trying to hold it between a couple of fingers. Its unwieldy, provides no advantage in real terms (You can't put both arms behind the strength of a swing, you're doubling the effective weight that you're trying to swing with, the motions you can make become further limited by positioning), hence its impractical. There was no provided explanation for how the "style" works in practice, as I remarked before so all I'm left with is that Keiichi somehow successfully fights like he's from Sengoku Basara on the basis of... nothing.
