When Guards come at you make sure you are using your fists, then just counter their attack. To counter hold R1, then press Square when they take a swing at you.
Disarming guards is actually quite easy to do, but can be tricky to master. You need to enter combat with no weapon - not even your hidden blade - selected. Perform a well timed counter, and Ezio will relieve the guard of their weapon and use it himself, or you can switch to another weapon using the hot-key (across to another weapon, then go back to your allocated empty hand/fist hot-key directional button) to drop the weapon an resume empty hand combat.
Hope that helped.
