Truthfully even in sword fights blocking with reverse should be the LAST resort because in reverse grip your guard is shit and you can't protect your hands or prevent the blade from moving with the force of the opponent's blow. It only really works for knife sized daggers built for thrusting...
Genuinely anytime I read a passage that has the character hold the sword in reverse grip and CUT something, I'm out
