blade work
Sword fighting skill
Blade work is the technique and skill of handling a bladed weapon—typically a sword, knife, or fencing foil.
The term appears in martial arts, stage combat, and film choreography: The movie's blade work was choreographed by a former Olympic fencer.
In hockey and skating, blade work refers instead to footwork and edge control on ice skates.
