What is Grandmaster Park Bok Nam's Bagua lineage? I fully agree with both of those things, but it doesn't hurt to ask. That teacher had other students... :) |

Blocking with a katana blade Jabs: I don't know exactly what he meant by "block". Maybe he meant "meet the opponent's blade with your own" and maybe he meant "forcefully stop the attack with your blade". It's a good question. |

Blocking with a katana blade That is true - however, the structural integrity of the Japanese sword is much more easily compromised if you do a hard block with the back edge. That is, the blade is much more likely to snap. |

Blocking with a katana blade I wish I could answer with a yes or no. Would you find useful an answer with some empirical understanding from my few years studying iaido? |

Blocking with a katana blade By 'blade', you mean the actual edge of the weapon? And by blocking, do you mean 'stop the incoming attack', or do you include things like parry and deflect? |

Did Karate really originate in the Okinawa region of Japan? Every white guy can do savate and every black guy can do capoeira. Did you miss the memo? :p |
