If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
In 'Hercules and the Masked Rider' (which is set in 17th Century Spain and the character was originally Goliath) there are several scenes in which swordsmen are defeated by the unarmed hero. They never use their long, pointy, swords to stab him: they run up to him so that he can punch them unconscious.
I've seen similar tactics in other Hercules movies, although with spears.
Is there a trope name for this, or at least for characters not using weapons appropriately?
