Inflected Form(s):

Amplified (past tense), Amplification (noun), Amplifications (plural)

Comments:

This process should be accomplished without effecting the flow of the Base Move.

This process is usually accomplished with a circular move by:

a.expanding the circular path of travel - defense to offense

b.contracting the circular path of travel - offense to defense

This process is usually accomplished with a linear move by:

altering the path of travel

The word usually is used above, because it is possible to alter the move without changing it's pathof travel. For instance, the opponent may change positions, negating the need for the path of the move to be altered - but instead, the intent of the move is altered, accomplishing the same result.

Example(s):

Altering an inward back-knuckle rake to the opponent's nose into an inward block by contracting the circular path of travel, demonstrates amplification.
