As an addendum, some of you might be interested in these. Grappling and wrestling was a big part of armored combat, as it was often hard to shove a blade into the weak spots of a moving target. Here are a pair of contemporary manuscripts showing some moves. So, don't be afraid to incorporate grappling moves into two handed sword use, or sword use in general. They really were used generally as close in brawling weapons.

Some 15th century jackie chan shit.
Hopefully this also helps all the monks out there, there is historical precedence for people knowing how to take down armed and armored opponents with just their hands, and it wasn't punching through plate mail.
