Need help with a martial art

Surmanjekk (Dance of Death)
Skills: Acrobatics, Dancing, Fencing*, Fencing Art, Judo
I'm working on a martial art for my elves, but sadly all I know about martial arts is from watching Karate Kid and the first Highlander movie.

The elves fight with an ethnic badass Edged Rapier with reach 1, 2. It is a very mobile style which incorporates moves from Elven dance (single dance) and acrobatics. Probably not very aggressive, waiting for the opponent to exhaust himself... tying in to the Elven philosophy of outliving the enemy maybe? Ideas?

ETA: Changed Broadsword to Fencing, which is an amalgamation of the various Fencing skills (my doctor said I had to cut down on skills...), replaced Karate with Judo.
