japanese iaido, which is basically the art of reacting to a sudden attack with a swift counter-attack (in this case, with a sword) carries over pretty well into all forms of self defence, both armed and unarmed. it's about controlling your body, and acting in a quick and decisive way in the face of a threat. the principles can be applied to everything from the open hand, to drawing and firing a pistol from concealment.
