verbal game of parry and thrust
jogo de fintas e estocadas verbais


Explanation:
Concordo com as sugestões da Teresa e da Marlene, acima; sugiro ainda esta alternativa, que me parece remeter ao universo da luta de espadas sem necessariamente traduzir os termos exatos, tais como são usados hoje (e que possivelmente nem têm o mesmo sentido na época retratada no texto, visto que as armas e técnicas de combate eram bastante diferentes).
