I have read that edition of Chivalry & Sorcery; my dad's D&D group played it for a couple years, back in the day, and we still have a copy kicking around somewhere. I can search dad's basement on the weekend and see if it turns up.
The "choose an attack and a defense then simultaneously reveal" martial arts system is what was used in the original "Top Secret" spy RPG. (If I recall correctly, "Rabbit Puch" was pretty awesome if it didn't get the appropriate block.)
