indeed you can make your own style with those, and it is respectable dont get me wrong. I meant more if you relied solely on Fencing or Kendo, i could beat you, however, with outside knowledge it would be more than an even match. Oh and i can wield my broadsword singlehandedly 
, with my claymore...im getting there lets put it that way lol
EDIT: i forgot to mention that those who weild Katanas are towards the top of my "respected peoples" list. I would never use one in battle because i prefer strength over speed but the Samurai code of ethics is something to be looked highly upon. By using a sword with that ancestry, you are picking up their way of life and that is a respectable thing. Its like me with my swords and a Knights Honor Code

PSO is a game of my past but those I came in contact with are still a part of me.
Strength comes not from the size of your muscles, but the depth of your heart, and the cause you're defending with it.
