There are quite a few different strategies in historical martial arts, depending on the type of sword (or other weapon) used, the opponent's fighting style, and your own intention. This approach is what I personally consider to be the least risky (considering that armed dueling is obviously not exactly safe no matter what).

You might find it interesting as inspiration / reference for animations or choreographies in video games or movies, or to describe some tricks that an experience swordsman could use in a fantasy novel, etc. We're demonstrating a few techniques with both single-handed (arming sword / messer) and two-handed (longsword) weapons.
