Kotegaeshi or Paralyzation Defense Atemi
By Kuseru
This defensive technique allows the character to perform a paralysis attack (as per N&S rules, page 132) in place of a parry, as a countermove against the following Holds and Locks; Arm Hold, Finger Lock, Wrist Lock, Arm Lock, and Elbow Lock. It costs one melee action to do and is considered a defensive move for the purpose of combat (which means a tie allows this move to be performed successfully).
