Drawing the weapon in a self defence scenario is far from a new problem. Here we consider what it would have been like to apply the principals studied today for law enforcement defence, but placed in a historical context and when carrying a sword. This is not a scientific or conclusive piece of research, just a brief look into the subject.

This research gives some insight into how that would have worked when dealing with an aggressive attacker.
