Just asking were the defensive techniques you learned used by ancient Samurai or in modern times. I know it sounds silly but the way you phrased it makes it sound that way. And I don't think lost people say the Katana can only slash I think most people when they use that reasoning(I'm speaking or myself so I don't know) is that it is better at slashing and it takes more accuracy and power than if you would take for example, a Xiphos or an Espada Ropera.Its not that it can't it's just harder. That's all!:)
