He also says that the way the fight stars, with Jack Sparrow sliding his sword along the blade of Will Turner’s sword, looks like Verdadera Destreza, a Spanish fencing system.

While Orlando Bloom’s grip might be a problem, there are other elements of the fight that Rawlings does compliment.
The only other complaint lodged against this fight scene is the moment when Will Turner throws his sword in order to stick it into the wall to keep Jack Sparrow from leaving.
