I saw a fencing champ vs. kendo champ matchup on teevee once. They
both connected within a few nanoseconds of each other (I forget who
got there first), but shinai whacked the fencer on the head whereas
the rapier whipped the kendo-er on the outside thigh.

At first I figured I would make some comment along the lines of Indiana
Jones pulling out his pistol and shooting the guy who just waved a sword
at him. But then I figured it out. You guys are getting ready for
World War IV (per Al Onestone).
