Halo: everything you're saying is wrong. If you caught a blade between the two prongs of the energy sword, it would be guided straight to your hand. period. Second, the sword is wielded like the indian pata. It uses the edges to parry blows, the void in the center is a design affection and nothing more. As for your idea of "spinning" the sword, that is virtually impossible to do given how the sword is held, and even if one were dextrous enough to do so, it would offer zero combat advantage. Now, if you mean "twisting", i understand the confusion, but even then, you dont have enough leverage to effectively maneuver your enemy's weapon, and worse, are weakening your grip on your own weapon.

As for the animation, again, binding is a common thing is this type of swordplay.

point is, it isn't a sword-breaker, and really doesn't fit a good classification of any (real) sword type except in the most general sense.

That's the end of it.
