Default Re: Blocking the way in tactical combat

Have the defender make a wait maneuver, responding to the evasion of his opponent by stepping and grappling, or shoving, or attacking his feet/legs in an attempt to cripple him.

You might, alternativly, decide to intercept instead of just holding position.
You can use a Wait>Move&Attack (Slam), or utilise techniques such as Sweep, or Trip (or indeed, Grapple>Judo/Wrestiling Throws) to put the attacker on his backside.

There are quite a few options, but GURPS combat does not reward just standing there, occupying space. You have to activly prevent opponents from just walking past you.
