Can't most of those (if not all) of those defenses just as easily be Ripostes, Counterattacks, or Wait (Stop-Hits) as successful parries in GURPS terms?
Actually, I like that idea a lot. It makes sense, even if it breaks up the flow. If you want to attack multiple places, take Riposte, counter attack, etc.
