It's also very hard since swords in reality aren't weighted for throwing, it'd more than likely just bounce off doing minimal damage and frankly, quite stupid, Since you now don't have a weapon, well, you can use a shield as a basic weapon but still, if you threw your sword, you would lose the fight.
