Being attacked with a katana, what would you do?

[Jeet Kune Do]

If he were to strike by an overhead swing the as his arm is coming down I would catch his wrist and Smack the Pressure Point underneath his arm, ...would probably kill him but I would have to try to survive

Are you saying that the smack to the pressure point would kill him?

I would walk forward no fear and when he swung at me i would break his arm and take the katana. then i would get him on his knees and i would make him think there was no hope and swing at his neck, but just before i get there i would stop so that he only had a little scratch. then i would break the katatna in half(if possible)and disappear in the shadows(as soon as i practice enough to do it)

If it was an actual katana (and not one of the fake ones that you can buy at the mall) AND I couldn't run away, I'd first look for a trash can or anything else for that matter to deflect (not counter) the blow. lol, a friend of mine actually ended up in a fight against a guy wielding butcher knives back in the day when he used to lift alot...he ended up using one of the gyms hula-hoops to fend the guy off. If there are no good 'shields', thaen I'd try my best to doge the blos as best I could until an opening came up where I could close the range and get the guy in a clinch. If he's just wildly swinging the thing around, than it might be doable, but if he knows how to handle a sword then it'd be GAME OVER>
