The Holding System
This is the only time you can block and not receive a hit. If your just blocking then you still get hit some how. But when engaging in close combat the person being attacked can apply the holding system. here is how it works.

- Swords and close range weapons: When your being attacked by a sword or any close range weapon, you can block the attack and state that your weapons were put into a holding state or something like that. The person who applied the holding system uses all 2-3 moves by applying this since the person doesn't get hit.
The attacker and/or defendant then has an option of doing 1 of these 3 things when its their turn.
1. apply more pressure and try to win the holding system.
2. break the hold receive the blow to then attack back.
3. break the hold and leap back, ending the persons turn.

- Hands and Feet Holding system: Its the same as the sword one but slightly different. In order to trigger the holding system for hands and feet the defendant needs to block with the same kind of attack. Meaning if the attacker throws a punch, the defendant needs to block with his hand. Now, the hands and feet systems becomes more fun. The hands and feet holding system has two holds/blocks you can go through. so, if the attacker throws a punch and you block, then hee throws a kick, and you block, you have now applied the two staged of the hands and feet holding system. Now, here is where is gets fun/tricky.
The person who applied the FIRST block of the hands and feet holding system uses all 2-3 moves.
The attacker and/or the defendant has one of these options to choose from when its their turn.
1. Apply pressure to win the hands and feet holding system.
2. Take the hit to then attack back.(should you be the defendant. or if your the attacker and get attacked while applying pressure.)
3. Break the hold/block and leap back, ending your turn.
4. Attack again with another punch or kick.(the laws of gravity are slightly bent here so preforming two kicks is okay. just remember to fall after the holding system is done. or placing your hands on the ground works to.)
5. Block the SECOND attack and end your turn.(should you be attacked while still holding the first attack.)
6. Reach for your weapon and preform ONE attack, or reach for your weapon and apply holding system if attacked by another weapon.(once the weapon holding system is applied the hands and feet holding system ends. If you built up pressure doing the hands and feet holding, all of that pressure is gone once the weapon holding system kicks in.)
The The person who applied the SECOND block of the hands and feet holding system uses all 2-3 moves. the attacker and defendant can choose from the following options when its their turn.
1. Apply pressure to win the hands and feet holding system.
2. Break the hold/block and take the hit to then attack back.
3. Break the hold/block and leap back, ending your turn.


How to win the holding system
You win by applying pressure and carrying out the 2nd option in the weapon holding system and in the hands and feet holding system. when you apply pressure your attack will become stronger when the other person carries out the 2nd option. But take note; when the person you attacked takes the hit and you put so much pressure/power, its only natural that the person delivers the same amount of damage done to them.
How to apply pressure: You can apply up to 5 strengths per turn for your attack when your applying pressure. remember, the more pressure you apply to your attack, that same damage will be done to you after your attack hits and its the other persons turn.

In other words. If the attacker has manged to put 9 strengths into the attack while in the holding system and the defendant chooses the 2nd option, the defendant receives an attack that is like nine hits. but when its the defendants turn after he received the hit, he carries out the same nine hits but in his 2-3 moves if he attacks. if the defendant doesn't attack after receiving the hit then he loses those nine hits he built up in the hold.
So, the defendant could attack three different ways and have his three attacks add up to the nine hits, while the attacker unleashed one attack that adds up to nine hits. The defendant is the person who chose to carry out option 2 in the weapon hold system and the hands and feet hold system.
