I found the term "Montanta" here: http://www.aemma.org/misc/glossary.html, but it talks about the blade coming in from below ("mounting"), where "Mantata" could be derived from "Mano" = hand, so I could have the wrong move. If you have a better link, I'd be most grateful.

I can imagine this being part of a parry where you push the other's blade up and away from your body, and then riposte with a thrust. That would leave their blade up by your face, and your blade inside them.

Or maybe this is just Weiss' personal fencing salute. I only remember her doing this before a fight. Or maybe I'm over-analysing again and this just looks cool.
