I am not aware of any specific references to particular techniques other than depictions on vase paintings and descriptions of combat by Homer, however I would point to the duel between Hector and Achilles in the film 'Troy', this is in my opinion the finest depiction of an ancient 'duel' on film, is it possible that Hollywood may have gotten something right? At least in the sense of how two 'champions' may have fought in the Bronze age?
