An idiom describing the angle at which a move gains contact to an intended target.

Comments:

Angle of Entry is a generic term and is not limited to any specific Angle of Execution.

An Angle of Entry can refer to either a Line of Entry or Path of Entry.

An Angle of Entry is the second component of an Angle of Execution and typically follows an Angle of Delivery, but precedes an Angle of Contact and (optionally) an Angle of Retraction.

An Angle of Entry differs from an Angle of Closure in that an Angle of Closure refers to the entire body Closing the Gap in a situation, where an Angle of Entry is limited to the delivery of a single weapon.

Example(s):

A Vertical Punch to the opponent's face demonstrates a common and direct Angle of Entry.

Opposite(s):

Diversified Angle of Retraction

Reverse(s):

Angle of Retraction on the same angle.
