He blocked Qui-gon's saber with his right one, then chin-uppercutted with the hilt after. Kenobi witnessed the move so years later slices directly through the hilt.

Ep1 lightsaber choreography was not great but you get the gist of what they were going for in real time rather than slo-mo.

Obi-Wan set Maul up to try the same move again by changing his opening stance from his favored fighting style to Qui-Gon's favored style. Maul saw it and thought he could pull the same move twice. Hence Maul shifting his feet before the fight started. That fight was over before it began, and why its my favorite lightsaber fight ever. Although Luke Vader in Empire is an all timer.

Edit : should have replied to Siliconemelons Siliconemelons who doesn't seem to get it. You're ok in my book Malakriss.
