No not been in a environment where my enemy resides means they cant attack me. This is my preferred method of defence.

Well if a sword is used correctly an unarmed opponent has real issue getting in to attack a body part. Been swords wo/men we tend to be a lot more aggressive and usually seek to attack our opponents before they attack us. An opponent waiting for you to attack give you the opportunity to get into the optimum position for your attack (this is really bad news for your opponent).

I see however in jujutsu there is no need to strick first...and there is a special training in the arts of defending a sword. I also find aggresiveness in most of my oppoments and have found aggression leads to over confidense which can seriously harm the defensive part of your stance...allowing the jujutsu to lock your arms and eventually pinning you. If the opponent is pinned down I can easily acheive his sword.

But Don't get me wrong I am not totally disagreeing with you, swords do make me feel the shivers...and put me in at a disatvantage.
