Force Barrier/Force Defense/Tutaminis
Vodo-Siosk Baas, having been the one to primarily train such Jedi as Nomi Sunrider and Qrrl Toq on Ossus (where in which they are implied to have picked up these powers), should be capable of utilizing the powers his apprentices displayed during the Freedon Nadd Uprising.
Nomi Sunrider and Qrrl Toq displayed Force Barrier/Force Defense during the initial blitz on Onderon.
Nomi Sunrider displayed Tutaminis by deflecting a blaster bolt back at a Naddist Soldier. She is noted to have become "adept in the battle skills she learned on Ossus" where Vodo-Siosk Baas was her Master. Minimum context of the panel, if not the entire combat sequence, would suggest she at minimum learned what she was displaying in the panel on Ossus.
