Guys, I've found out two things. Firstly, when you are in Masyaf as Ezio in the first sequence, if you go back into the castle itself, you can interact with several things to show what Altaïr had previously done in the castle. And there is a surprisingly quick way to defeat Jannissaries. Equip fists, counter steal, and then punch. Sometimes you need to punch several times to knock them out, sometimes it just finishes them automatically. Now, the odd thing is, they usually ragdoll after being knocked out. I assume this is because they're not normally meant to be beaten in a fist fight and therefore don't have animations for that occuring.
