I highly recommned it. The variant Iron Heroes caters for exactly this kind of swashbuckling adventurer; it has special rules for combat stunts and challenges, plus expanded use for skills in combat.

Still bashing with your shield in D&D is a waste of time most of the time. Hurray for action/fate/hero points to encourage cinematic acts.

Most of the manuvers featured in the book are Standard Actions which leaves the player a full move action to set up the attack... Jump down from a wall, Tumble past mooks, Dropkick a Big Bad and then have your feet explode in a torrent of Divine Energies. We're having a blast having a player use one of the classes of that book in our game. The Book of Nine Swords absolutely reeks of Wushu.

I think a lot of it depends on your DM's disposition to promoting character development and roleplaying.
