CONSTRICTOR’S CRUSH
This technique masters various choke holds usually involving
constricting air or blood flow to the head, to
more quickly subdue a target. +1 DV when inflicting
damage on a subdued opponent.

CRUSHING JAWS
The Crushing Jaws technique covers clinches and locks
that bend bone and strain muscles. It covers maneuvers
with names like can opener, bear hug, and Boston
crab, moves that are illegal for many combat sports as
they can cause serious injury or death. The Crushing
Jaws technique allows Subduing actions (p. 195, SR5)
to cause Physical Damage equal to the character’s
Strength. This technique can only be used once per
Combat Turn.

THROW PERSON
Simple Action
If the character has successfully engaged in a Clinch
or Subduing action against an opponent, he may then
attempt to throw their opponent. Throw person can
also be done as an Interrupt Action (–10 from Initiative
Score) after successfully blocking an opponent’s attack.
A throw is done using the leverage of the opponent’s
body and/or force of action into projecting the opponent
to the ground. The character rolls an Unarmed
Combat Attack Test, opposed as normal. If the character
succeeds and character’s Strength + net hits exceed
the opponent’s Physical Limit, the opponent can then be
thrown up to a number of meters equal to the net hits
scored on the test. The maximum distance that a character
can throw an opponent is the difference in the character’s
Strength minus the opponent’s Body in meters. If
this distance value is less than 0, then the maximum distance
is 0, meaning less than one meter away from the
character. The opponent suffers damage equal to the
net successes of the test, not the distance thrown. At the
end of the throw, the opponent is Prone. The opponent
could suffer additional damage at the location where he
is thrown, such as a fire pit or into the mouth of a sarlacc.
If the character is successful in the attack but does not
exceed the opponent’s Physical Limit, the opponent is
not thrown and is still standing but remains in a Clinch
or Subduing grip. Failure means the target is not thrown
and also escapes the character’s grip. Note that use of this
action requires Martial Art training

TI KHAO
From Muay Thai, this technique covers various knee
strikes that the character can do while in a Clinch with
an opponent. When in Clinch combat, the character can
leverage their opponent’s body for more impact, giving
them +1 DV when inflicting damage.

Subduing
Sometimes, characters need to subdue an opponent
without beating them into unconsciousness. To do so,
the attacker must engage in subduing combat.
To subdue a character, resolve melee combat normally
using the Unarmed Combat skill. If the attacker
successfully hits, compare his Strength + net hits to the
defender’s Physical limit. If the attacker’s total exceeds
the defender’s Physical limit, the attacker grapples and
immobilizes the defender. This subduing attack causes
no damage to the defender.
To break out of the lock, the defender must take a
Complex Action and succeed in an Unarmed Combat
+ Strength [Physical] Test with a threshold equal to the
net hits scored on the attacker’s original grappling test.
Otherwise the defender remains subdued and cannot
take any actions requiring physical movement. Consider
the subdued character to be prone for any attacks made
against him. The grappling character does not need to
make any tests to maintain the grapple, but he must
spend a Complex Action on each of his Action Phases to
hold the position. The grappler may also choose to do
one of the following on each Complex Action he spends
to maintain the grapple:
•	 Make an additional Unarmed Combat Attack Test
to get a better grip. The defender opposes as normal.
The attacker gets the Superior Position bonus
(+2). If the attacker scores more hits, the net
hits are added to his previous grappling net hits,
making it harder for the defender to break free. If
the defender scores more hits, however, reduce
the attacker’s net hits by the defender’s net hits to
show how the attacker’s grip is slipping.
•	 Inflict Stun Damage on the character with a
Damage Value equal to his Strength. This requires
no test, but the defender resists it as normal.
Armor applies.
•	 Knock the defender down, following the rules
for Called Shots. The attacker gets the Superior
Position bonus (+2)
