I see your point, but it´s quite the opposite in my opinion.... Well, if you think in terms of exposing yourself, almost every move you make will have you exposed or not depending how you use it(kicks you can get taken down or grabbed and tripped, punches you can get countered, etc)....in that move Carcerez did, your head should stay between both of your arms if you throw them correctly, so they´re not exposed from what I see, and that move covers a great space, so the guy is either taking the blow or he needs to move out of the way, which will make it very hard to counter (not like those counters where you bob and weave but stay in place for the counter). It all depends, you CAN use it without fully engaged mode (just like a punch or a kick, there are several ways you can do that move, full engage mode or not). What do you think?
