Swing

GURPS Martial Arts page 111 mentions swing attacks get -1 to Quick Contests for Who Draws First and Cascading Waits, and also in the Margin of Success for Stop Hits.
There are also penalties to defend against swing attacks if defending unarmed.
Swing damage is higher than Thrust damage.
A Tip Slash can convert thrust-only attacks into swing attacks, but keep thrust based damage.
