| well you have to get away from where the sword has the most power the tip cause thats where the clean cut comes from this next part is all about timing and is a little suicidal. you can either one evade the sword at the right moment cause a good swords man can track you and change their swing mid way through the cut by side stepping and move in so your body isnt exposed to the naked blade and attack the hands and arms or evade and roll towards the opponet to a leg take down |

we train with sword disarms with the mentality that it might be any long range weapon on the street. There are a number of aikido feelings that cause them to either land on the sword or throw it away because of the spinning. The timing is pretty suicidal since you need to be as close as possible. It's actually a wonderful feeling to be disarmed if nage can blend well. The same goes for disarming if you can blend well.

use things around you to fight against weapons, in okinawa, farmers used stuff around the farm, hence the creation of the bo, comma, nunchaku, tonfa, and sais, and they used these things to defend themselves against samurais, im sure that you know something about a bo, so just look around, also, if you know how to use thhem, escrima stick work really well against them

I have to ask, how did you almost get into an altercation with someone with a samurai sword?

Holy cow! The Okinawans invented the comma as well? Oh, that's right...I seem to recall hearing a story where a samurai and an Okinawan got into an argument. To settle matters, they decided to have a contest: Each of them would write out a grocery list and the one who could purchase all the items the quickest would win. The samurai got confused because there were no commas, but the Okinawan could quickly see where each word started and stopped, quickly defeating his samurai opponent. He then engaged in guerrila warfare against the samurai, punching through them with his pinkie finger (makiwara training).
Um...don't ask where that came from...I was feeling a bit tired...
At any rate, the sai was always a weapon imported from China. I don't know how people could believe such myths in the first place, but the whole story of the sai being a farming implement is now largely discredited. To me, it never made logical sense in the first place.

The sai was use for poking holes in the ground so that they could plant seeds, the comma was use to cut grain, and if yall didnt know...the bo was used for carreing buckets full of water, the tonfa was used as the handle on the well to bring up the bucket of water, the nunchucks where used as a rice flail, oh yeah i guess i did spell kama lol.
