This would have been hilarious, until I saw that the 'swordfight' had been preceded by a savage, two hour long beating. After that, Aragorn couldn't have taken him on. Not to mention its one thing to go for light jabs and swipes with a wooden sword, but I imagine he was really laying into her. Getting a smack with a wooden sword is not pleasant, getting beaten relentlessly with one without any hope of fighting back or stopping it... I can't imagine how scared the girl must have been.
