This #kenjutsu #technique first #parries the #opponent's #sword with one's own #blade held vertical. Then the #swordsman steps forward under the blades, suddenly turning the sword to present the blade's flank, causing the opponent's sword to slide upward.
After a quick horizontal cut to the opponent's arm, we withdraw with a circular step and bat the opponent's blade aside.

"#Chanbara チャンバラ", padded #trainingSwords, are an option. They are too floppy, however, to simulate #parries and sliding #blocks.
#Kendô #armour (剣道道具), another possible option, does not protect the whole body; especially some classic #targets like the armpit (八つ口) are completely unprotected. The #bamboo #sparring #sword (#shinai 竹刀) used with the kendô-dôgu lacks the weight and curvature of the real sword, and cannot properly depict some of the #techniques.
