Sword Fighting Styles explores the fascinating intersection of Japanese historical martial arts and their influence on fight choreography in manga. The book examines how real-world sword fighting styles, such as Kenjutsu and Kendo, have been adapted and stylized for dramatic effect in manga, bridging the gap between historical martial practices and modern visual storytelling. Readers will gain insight into the deeper connection between historical realities and fictional narratives, enhancing their appreciation of both historical combat and the creative process behind manga. The book delves into the cultural significance of swordsmanship in Japan, tracing its evolution from battlefield tactics to refined peacetime techniques during the Edo and Meiji periods. By analyzing historical texts, illustrations, and specific manga examples, the book reveals how artists draw inspiration from fundamental principles of sword fighting. It progresses by first introducing basic stances and cuts, then examining specific historical styles, and finally analyzing their transformation in manga fight scenes, highlighting both faithfulness and creative liberties.

Unlike most makers of modern or futuristic films, George Lucas turned away from the standard special operatives or secret agents when he created the heroes for his epic Star Wars saga. Part knight, part monk, the Jedi Knights were an order of swordsmen that helped rule the universe in accordance with law and lofty principles of justice and honor. Without the Jedi, there could be no Star Wars, and without the lightsaber sword, there could be no Jedi. This examination of the Jedi Knights, their adversaries the Sith and their lightsaber swordplay throughout all six episodes of the franchise evaluates the ways in which Lucas blended science fiction with the most ancient and epic tales of traditional samurai and Western swordsmen. It presents swordsmanship as a way to better understand the Jedi Knights, focusing on the human movement and activity surrounding the weapon and the ways in which traditional Japanese martial arts were adapted for use in the films. Topics of discussion include the powerful effects of the master-apprentice relationship; the technical choreography used in the lightsaber scenes of the Star Wars films; and the historical precedents for the Jedi order, including the Sohei fighting monks of Japan, the Janissaries and Mamelukes of Islam, and the knights of the Templar, Hospitaller and Teutonic orders.

Two teams of fencers represent their nations at this pivotal moment. When the future of the world lies balanced on the point of a rapier, one misstep could mean ruin for all.
