Speaking of which, an easy way to defeat iaito is to feint an attack; when your opponent draws and attacks, parry and then lunge. An aggressive or impulsive opponent, as encouraged in German longsword fencer (as depcited by Talhoffer, Lichtenauer, Czynner, etc), means that their sudden wrath-hews are easily predictable; just feint a swing, stop midair, parry opponent's attack, and counter into the forearms or face. The European equivalent of iaito is when you draw your sword out its scabbard upon poking the tip of the scabbard into your opponent's face.
Anyways, the past few pages has been kinda RP-like. I'm sure we've said things we shouldn't, it happens, but seriously, over the past thirty posts, talk over who is better at a computer game or two? No-one has to prove who is better at anything, I've been playing RuneScape for over ten years, I get killed easily by people thirty or more levels lower than me. It's not worth it posting over who is better.
