A post on Quora claims the non-fighting specific way to practise one-handed sword techniques is to play Tennis since so much of the basic swings are very similar to cutting techniques in swordsmanship with one-hand swords.
Is the in anyway accurate? I just started practising tennis and never learned any sword art though I played with replicas of weapons before including real sharp blades that can cut and stab meat (I cut a pig's leg with a katana before for example and same toying with different blades). Will tennis or badminton or pickleball and racket ball help me prepare for real training with one handed swords like the Gladius?
