[Star Wars] How does Mace Windu's fighting style make him "walk the line" of the Dark Side?

I've read on this sub before that his chosen fighting style is enough to make him tip over into the dark side, but he never quite does it. Why is something as trivial as that able to make any effect on his connection to the Force?

Lightsaber combat styles aren't simply the movements of the body and blade. There's a mental aspect to them as well.

Vapaad, the style he co-developed, is one that has two non-physical components to it - it requires the user to enjoy the fight for the fight's sake, and it also acts as a conduit for the dark side. This means that the rage that anyone feels, not just the one using Vapaad but their opponent as well, is amplified in a self-contained, continuously cycling circuit.
