Ride (Body Maneuver)


A specific form of a Body Maneuver which is physically distinguishable by creating a riding motion with a weapon in-flight.

 

Comments:

 

Riding can be viewed as either a non-contact evasion or a contact parrying maneuver. The distinguishing factor is the type of motion, not whether contact is made or not.

 

Riding can be done with any part of the body.

 

Rides can, but most frequently don't, include Foot Maneuvers.

 

Rides are the opposite of slips in that they travel with the offensive maneuver; where slips travel toward the offensive maneuver.
