BakonBitz 06/20/20 2:48:10 PM #7:	From what I've read it's just to show off in fictional stories. Reverse grip means you have less control over the sword, though learning to use reverse grip is helpful for when you'd be in a pinch. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA <cite>BakonBitz posted [p:940975870] in So is reve...

ScazarMeltex 06/20/20 2:53:21 PM #10:	So like with a katana, yeah it's mostly a fictional thing. That's not to say that there aren't specific techniques that use a reverse grip but they are generally used when drawing a sword to stab someone approaching from the rear. Reverse grip with a knife, balisong, or any other sort of short hand held blade is absolutely a thing. Japanese Martial Arts like to get into training for really specific scenarios. There is an entire school of Koryu related to various ways to defend yourself in event you are in a tea ceremony and the person delivering the tea attacks you. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:940976085] in So is reve...

The23rdMagus 06/20/20 2:55:51 PM #11:	Practical for some knives. Generally not practical for swords - reach and leverage is limited, and the thumb can't exert the amount of control it would in a handshake grip. It's in fiction mainly for style.

That would probably be ineffective since if you stab overhand youll hit the ribs instead of getting them unde it --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... <cite>thronedfire2 posted [p:940976284] in So is reve...
