Hey, Keeper:
Actually, the "parrying away technique" of which you speak is a metaphor for the actual combative technique which is to cut on the first motion. (Actually, there's more to it than this).
As with any training drill, the metaphor is meant to represent the actual technique which generally cannot be performed without harming your partner.
You can appreciate this better by trying to perform this with a wooden training knife and stabbing your partner's forearm. I am fairly confident you will harm your partner and he will not allow you to do it again, thereby making the movement no longer a flow drill. Even the slash can cause burns on your partner's skin.
This isn't really a complete answer, but I think you get the idea.
Hope this helps.
