Then I saw martial arts and the beat down technique where you can base weapon skill of strength in regards to a feint.

There are limitations, the other person has to have parried the previous turn, but it still seems a very easy way for an unskilled giant to demolish someones defence with a feint. Then again if he did demolish the parry score the PC could always dodge or block with a shield of feint with another weapon.

If you're somehow parrying a giant's blows despite being vastly weaker than it, it only seems appropriate that it be able to knock your weapon way out of line.

It's pretty likely in that case that the giant's weapon will be too heavy to even allow you to parry.
