Quote:oh yes in European fighting there also is a mental aspect however i have never seen a proper Zen attitude about swords in Europe...

Europeans saw the sword as a tool.

True, even the Italian fencing master Fiore dei Liberi (1409) advices everybody to be as cruel, visious and traitorous as possible in a fight. This is a fight for your life. If you can win with pulling someone's hair, kick him in the groin, break his fingers or put your fingers in his eyes - do it.
