By the time you track the enemy's blade with your eyes, it is already too late.
You must awaken your senses the very instant their bloodthirsty gaze falls on your skin.
Do not cower in fear before the strike.
Instead, remain calm and meet the blade just before it connects.
This is more than mere defense, it shall become an iron wall that bounces off your foes.
In moments of peril, take a bold step forward and swing.
By striking at the enemy's opening, you can seize the momentum and turn the tide in a single moment.
Do not focus on what is seen, but read the flow and trust your instincts.
That intuition will lead you to a higher state of mastery.
