Maybe this style was accompanied with rules.
For instance, if the attacker --obviously not the man with the shield down--was not allowed to touch the shield with any part of his body or his weapons..
That would give a static sort of duel where virtuosity in parrying would be stressed, as opposed to virtuosity in parrying and moving around like in a "regular" duel.
