Would Armed Grappling (Two-Handed Sword) be appropriate? Pommel strikes simply use Brawling or Hammerfist. Two-Handed Pommel Strikes may require us to invent a rule (or just use Two-Handed Punch with a damage bonus). Sounds like Disarming (Judo) is also called for. I think Feint (Two-Handed Sword) is probably called for as well. Maybe Bind (Two-Handed Sword) if you include the appropriate perk (below).

The Perks given for Longsword Fighting in MA goes as follows: Armor Familiarity (Judo), Grip Mastery (Longsword), Skill Adaptation (Bind Weapon Defaults to Two-Handed Sword), and Sure-Footed (Uneven)

Most of those seem appropriate to Fiore's style. What do you think?
