An idiom describing the angle at which a maneuver or method gains access to an intended target.

Comments:

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

An Angle of Entry can refer to any Path of Travel moving toward a target.

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.

Angle of Entry differs from Line of Entry in that Angle of Entry is more generic and can refer to any Environmental Object for any purpose, but frequently the terms are used interchangeably.

Example(s):

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