Reading a fight
隙 A guard has a gap. Blade held high stops what falls, so cut up from below. Held low, it stops what rises, so cut down.剛 Coming through it. Armour that keeps losing plates stops flinching, and light cuts ring off. Parry, use Helm Splitter or a drawn stroke, or get out of the way.Named cuts pay. Kesa falls on the diagonal, Gyaku-kesa rises on it, Dō goes across the waist, Kubi takes the neck, and Karatake runs straight down the middle.Drawn strokes end anyone without armour, and shear two plates from anyone with it.Towers stand on their legs. Cut two side by side, and stand clear of where it falls.
