Style of glasses would be different but hell, Italian writers in the 1300s were using them and by the 1500's the Portuguese were exporting them to Japan. The first Tokugawa Shogun had a pair he used for reading and writing .

a lot of dueling rules were like that, you can keep attacking until your opponent drops his sword. and just like shown you can grapple but the retainers will break the fight and have you reset if it gets into a wrestling match.

In real life are much more Ugly than a Grappling Match because Swords are very dangerous.
