| Concerning one-on-one battles, it was common to cut at each other with a sword after battling using bows and arrows, which was followed by kumiuchi (grappling) ("Genpei Seisui ki" [Rise and Fall of the Minamoto and the Taira clans] by Sanemitsu TOHEI). |
この一騎討ちでは矢合わせ、打物（太刀）での斬りあいのあと組討に至るのが一般的であったという（『源平盛衰記』藤平実光）。 |
