I did some thinking, (amazing no???), and I just want to emphasize that the samurai is more based on the one heavy blow, as best charaterized in the Japaense bow staff tactics, however, the two handed sword tactics are based on mometum, once you start swinging you keep it flowing, late medieval manuscripts constantly emphasize this. Further, perhaps the most feared warriors in history were the vikings and thier bearded axes, which, by weight standards were totally unweildy, however using momentum the axe becomes a near instoppable weapon of death that no amount of parry and block can halt, one can only aviod the axe and most likely retreat.
