I have to say, coming from a stage/theatrical background when it comes to swordfighting, one of the things that stuck with me when I first watched you guys fence was how quickly it could be over.  I think it is like that for many people who see an actual duel for the first time.  It's super cool, but also sobering to think that had those swords been sharp and the intent to kill the other real, there'd be a body laying in the dust within moments of the start of the duel.
