Aldori Style and Two-Handing


Rules Questions


So, the Aldori Style feat reads:
'While using Aldori Style and wielding only a single Aldori dueling sword in one hand (not using a shield, an off-hand weapon, armor spikes, unarmed strikes, or natural weapons), when you fight defensively or use Combat Expertise, you gain a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls.'

I'm just wondering if it still works when gripping it with your second hand to gain 1-1/2x STR to damage. Technically, you aren't using a shield, an off-hand weapon, armor spikes, unarmed strikes, or a natural weapon, but you also aren't wielding the dueling sword in one hand (unless there's some term mumbo jumbo that I don't know about).

It just seems very odd to me that the Aldori Style would make no accommodations for two-handing the weapon, when the entire shtick of the Aldori dueling sword and the Aldori Swordlords is switching between a one-handed and a two-handed grip as the need arises during combat.
