It happens all the time, only not just with swords. You taunt any hero and nuse members of their family as leverage, their fighting improves. One such scene is from Buffy Season 4 - a Spike/Buffy fight, in daylight: he mocks the lover and she suddenly kicks his ass. It happens all the time, sadly. Do recall something similar in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
