Could you describe the sword style of fighting (maybe medieval) of the Headless Horseman in the 1999 movie by Tim Burton "Sleepy Hollow"?

Maybe the techniques used and, (maybe i’m asking much :-( ) a youtube video demonstration. Thanks in advance. I ask you this because I’ve never seen the fencing techniques used by this headless ghost in any other movie or youtube video.

The style is called “Hollywood Flailing”.

I wouldn’t say it’s really a style or maybe it’s Monty Python style. The fencing is classical fencing but the rest is butchery and give ‘em everything you have with whatever you have at hand.
