Making stuff up off the cuff here, but between Destabilizing Strike and a modification of Sweep, there might be something there.

I've been considering what animals do in combat, i.e. shoving with the shoulder before going in for a bite or stamp.

Looks a lot like a move that's meant to cause very short-lived CPs that give the other party a penalty to strike back or defend, in order to get in a fight-ending move.

Horses rarely knock each other over, but back when stallions fought each other as a sport here in Iceland*, most descriptions seem to involve a shoulder shove before the fight ending move.

This also happens when two riders fight. Their horses can shove one another, to interfere with the strikes and defences of the other rider.

*Long time ago, don't worry.
