			Hi Frank, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I was told that bloking was not done and if it had to be made the katana was turned around and the block made with the back of the sword. I knew that trick, but you know, it just made me realize that the Japanese thereby invented triple time fencing    The first time being the turning around of the sword, the second the actual parry and the third the riposte.Cheers Chris  |
