in answer to johnsimon885- you have to practice in your house, and learn which strikes you can and cannot expect to do- you have to train specificly for close quarters, and if you do, a sword is far from worthless- I would never have one on the street of course, but what the kak says does hold true- training carries over to improvised items quite well- as to dropping my weapon- great idea, now you are being pursued by an armed attacker..... and you are out ythe cost of your sword.....
