Any check that is enacted as part of a sophisticated defensive + offensive maneuver where the first part of the maneuver (the dipping / defensive part) is used to block (or check) a (potential) offensive maneuver or method from the opponent; but then concludes with a strike (the offensive part).

Comments:

This term refers to only one main characteristic of the overall checking maneuver. Because of this, the same checking maneuver can potentially be referred to in different ways or through a combination of characteristics.

Dipping Checks are temporary by design and only a part of an offensive maneuver, where the Path of Travel of that maneuver intersects with a limb (or any Environmental Object) causing a momentary detainment of that weapon.

Dipping Checks differ from Detaining Checks in that Dipping Checks can be employed against an offensive in-flight strike, and have a requirement of using an initial downward trajectory (the dip) to perform the first half of the sophisticated maneuver.
