How are swords still have a sharp edge after blocking so many direct slashes from a sharp tempered blade.

Imo sword should look like saws after even one session of blocking really anything made of metal.

They didn’t block with their swords like that. That’s what shields are for.

You know how, in the Rocky movies, he just stands there and absorbs punches with his face? Real boxers try to dodge and slip the punches. Same with swords.

Not everything works like it does in the movies. Real sword fighting looked basically zero percent like the movie version.
