Catch


A distinct type of Vice-like maneuver which is physically distinguishable by not only diverting (or evading) but also capturing an offensive maneuver in motion.

 

Comments:

 

Catching is essentially intercepting, guiding, capturing, and controlling an offensive maneuver in motion

 

Generally, catching employs two (2) methods in tandem, riding and grabbing, but riding can be optional.

 

Catching can be interpreted as a sophisticated form of parrying; if the maneuver relies upon riding motion.

 

Catching differs from grabbing in that catching intercepts an offensive maneuver in motion, but this is not a requirement for grabbing.

 

Catching is non-specific as to how many defensive weapons can be utilized to enact the maneuver. It can be enacted with just a single weapon or multiple weapons.
