Hey there folks. As I only have a very passing and tertiary knowledge when it comes Japanese sword arts, there's a question I'd like to ask.
When blocking with a sword (specifically a katana), do you ever use the edge to block a strike? We see this in film and television all the time but is that how one would actually block a strike?
