It'd make sense from an actual I.C stand point as well anyways. You are guarding (with whatever tool you 'RPly' use) with most of your focus basically upon trying not to get hit as hard by attacks. The amount of time you put into getting ready to intercept and protect against an offensive means you making your stance more solid, or whatever have you. Which I'd imagine would, logically, make it harder for you to dodge based on such a criteria.

All for the idea stated above in the first place!
