I'll be, that sounds like fun.

Remember when I trained Kendo and we had a visit from a real expert.
What impressed me the most was when he said "you don't need to be fast if your timing (technique) is correct", and proceeds to demonstrate a counter against an opponent.
It looked like he was moving in slow motion while the attacked charged at full speed, but just when the strike would have hit his head his sword was just arrived to parry in that exact second, and it then moved on to hit the attackers neck in just the right second too.
It was just stunning to watch.

I wouldn't like to fight that gray haired old man with a sharp edge!
