Deceptive Guard: When using Focused Defenses (Martial Arts: Gladiators, 21), the -1 penalty to parry presented locations counts towards the voluntary parry penalties of your Riposte.
Sounds like a fun perk (although, as I said in the linked thread, I do not really understand how Focused Defense represents what it is supposed to represent). Encouraging stylists to use certain combat options is a good thing!
