dont care who scored a pont, with real swords the kendoka woul have a minor gash and keep fighting....while the fencer wouldbe trying to hold his skull together

and plus, a rapier is meant to stab, really, not to slash... it bends so much the angle of atack is always messed up, even if your slash is perfect. have you seen how wippy it is? id be afraid of breaking it when deflecting it to attack! pff minor gash, more like a few split fibers on the tare flap... and the shinai actually bent the fencers face armor-whatchamacallit, giving the impression of a "glanced" slice, but it was more like a good slice and the face armor thing deforming under the shinai's coup. if it was really the guys face he'd be staring at you from two differnt directions.
