Sword Dao is not about who is faster or who is stronger.
But undoubtedly, speed and strength can give a player certain advantages.
The third round, both still started with a middle stance.
The middle stance is fundamental and also the essence of Kendo form.
When attacking, one can attack the face; when countering, one can deflect the opponent's blade to the right.
If the opponent presses further, one can use the sword's edge to launch a counterattack.
If the sword is still being suppressed by the opponent, one can attack the opponent's hands from below when they take the chance to attack again.
Face, throat, torso, hands, these four areas are all scoring points.
