well that could be tricky while Mac is definitly the better sword 
fighter,  Kuno definitly can do more damage as in chopping stone 
walls without touching them which gives him the strenght advantage 
and he also has speed on his side just think about his realy realy 
fast thrusts that might just be a problem.

But Mac has more expierience dealing with good swordsmen. Plus, Mac isn't

that bad with martial arts himself.

this is true but you have got to remember that kuno is incredibly 
good with a sword.  If macs gona beat him he will have to do it 
quickly and take advantage of all the openings kuno inverably leaves 
because if he ever lets kuno attack its not gona be pretty I dont 
think he is good enough to dodge all those strikes witch are almost 
on par with the katchu tenshin amagurikan speedwise, well maby about 
half that but still despite his years he is no Ranma, or Mousse, or 
happy, or cologne to be able to get out of the way or a ryoga able to 
just soak all those hits without worrying about it.

But also think about this: Whos weapon will hurt more. Mac's SHARP sword,

or Kunos bokken? I'd put my money on the sword.
