Pin is a specialized version of Vise-like maneuver, where the purpose is for making an Environmental Object immobile. This can be accomplished with any type of weapon.

Pin differs from press in that a pin is applied for the purpose of making immobile.

Pin differs from bind in that pin is required to use a vise-like maneuver, where bind can use other methods, such as entwining.

Although one could pin from multiple directions simultaneously, this would be considered multiple pins working in tandem with each other.
