I have often wondered why the japenese did not develope shields as the europeans did- having sparred extensively, i agree with moonduck that shields are a BIG factor- have noted that eastern styles emphasise avoidance of the enemy's strikes, but seems unususal that shields are (pretty much) absent - have no where near the experience with eastern weapons as w/western so does anyone know why the divergence?
