Re: Unarmed Parry Is Unarmed Block?
I might as well be thorough on the matter since the thread is already made and I'd rather reveal (and remove) more ignorance than to stay silent but confused in an attempt at saving face.
Again, do more advanced books like Martial Arts and Technical Grappling go into more detail? I had forgotten that the write ups for unarmed parries also differ, and to connect the dots (as it were). With how Brawling, Boxing, Judo, Karate, Sumo Wrestling, and Wrestling Skill (did I miss any) are written (Skills that may be important to the real world "styles" bearing those names, but representing more abstract concepts) all have unarmed parries (not sure about Sumo Wrestling) are written up a bit differently, which may also help reflect the difference between the idea of "unarmed blocking" versus "unarmed parry".
