I don't agree with anyone that says it is impractical. That is like say martial art is impractical and that would be a shame that so many people here waste their time playing.
Martial arts is about timing, distance, leverage and momentum. It doesn't matter what you call your style. The physical and practical aspects of focus on TDLM. For example, if you practice Judo then LM are more important than TD. If you practice kickboxing then TD are more important than LM. But I don't care if you the "great palm of incredible vibation," in order to make it practical you use martial skill - TDLM.
Swords are effective tools to move you to the next level. If I came at you with a sword everything is much faster, more threatening, and your brain sensory response is shorter. That requires a greater level of martial skill.
