Question


Hey, Sempai, I wanted to ask a sword question. (seriously)
What techniques could a Japanese styled swordsman use against a European fencer? Fencing skills are about footwork, and economy of motion. It seems like the minute a kenjutsu stylist raises up, the fencer will tag his heart. But on the other hand, the rapier will break under stress from a katana, and there may be a hesitation when a downward strike comes at him to simply enter and "tag"

What are your thoughts?
