That's exactly what would have happened there, only 1 of the participants would be using something not-quite-a-Rapier, and there would be Dust and possibly kicks involved.

I was thinking Neo uses rapid opening/closing of the parasol to change her weapon threat range... that changes a rapier duel a lot as you stab for center of mass and all of a sudden you have no unprotected target but a shield in front of you, a shield that should it catch your weapon, you are disarmed and the duel is over...
