There is one no-handed trained defence, called a "Hands-Free Parry" on p. 22 of Technical Grappling, which is similar to what you're looking for, except it's only meant to work against grappling. It probably wouldn't be too imbalanced to allow it against strikes, as it counts as a two handed parry (unlike boxing, karate and judo parries).
