Yeah. We also call that parrying. [Going from that block into a diagonal slash.] But you have to be careful, because sometimes they try to trick you. [Now drawing back that sword for another strike at a copyable speed.] They want you to think they coming for you in one direction [Here starts the strike] when they're really going somewhere else. [And the sword direction and body positioning changes and the sword's moving somewhere else.]

We call that a feint.
