Considering he lived in times of melee weapons like swords, was fight scenes of Shakespeare's play more realistic esp compared to modern theatre?

Finished The Tudors on Netflix back in August and in 1 episode some actors were rehearsing and this included being trained by an actual master of a rapier looking sword for the fight scenes in a play featured within he show. So I am curious esp since modern theatre gets the hack all the time for not bothering even bare bones basics like parrying thrusts and wrestling an enemy in a pin and stabbing him in the stomach.
