katanas arent exactly supposed for swordfights anyway. The blades are thin and easily break. A common misconception is that normal swords can outlast far longer when used such as in movies. While in reality, those too can break rather easily when used inproperly.
Still, when speed is what you require a katana is the favoured option. A friend of me is specialised in medieval weaponry and in the general 1 on 1 battles he preferred a hookstick made of wood.
