[quote=FlyingCaddy]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. QUOTE]
Depends on what art of swordfighting the samurai was trained in. He could have been trained in a Jujitsu art, in which case you would be right abou the flowing motions, but there are many other arts in Japanese culture that involve swordfighting and that are not related to Jujitsu.
