	Some maneuvers can only be executed while grappling (but kick can not). It is interesting to note that while grappling, some weapons are usable while others are not. A skilled grappler can deny the enemy use of his weapon while still freely using his own. Below is a list of moves that either change dramatically or are only usable while grappling.

A skilled grappler can deny the enemy use of his weapon while still freely using his own. Below is a list of moves that either change dramatically or are only usable while grappling. Through testing, it is believed grappling confers a Defensive Factor penalty to both parties.
