Thorin, not exactly. Hammers are much slower than swords. Swordsmen train for long amounts of time, building the skill necessary to move their swords out of the way of giant hammers. They also have great footwork. They won't block the hammer aimed at their head. They will step to the side and let the hammerman overswing. Then, when the hammerman is recovering, they dart in with their sword and slip it in between the gaps in the enemy's armor, since a sword allows for great accuracy.
