“Because he respects you,” Sakura commented to Gabiya. “It is dishonorable to hold yourself back.”
“When your weapon is parried,” Sakura said as she observed the duel, “pull your blade back to yourself while slightly bending your knees to lower yourself...regaining centre of gravity and balance.”
Gabiya’s weapon fell from her hands, struck by Subaki’s blow.
“If you are disarmed, either suddenly flee, or rush your foe with endless punshes, interfering his elbows with your own, unceasing as you pummel his face to prevent him getting the chance to cut you.”
Sakura looked back at Allauda. “Thusly the purpose of the warrior, not the scholar. The one who knows only from theory has not the faintest idea of the true path.” The masked bushi faced the class. “Those who wish to pursue the true path, may you take us with you, Allauda?”
