An idiom describing the angle at which a move is performed.

Comments:

Throughout an Angle of Execution, angles can be formed - prior to execution (Angle of Delivery), during execution (Angle of Entry and/or Angle of Closure), at the Point of Contact (Angle of Contact), during retraction (Angle of Retraction and/or Angle of Departure), and after execution (Angle of Delivery).

Angle of Execution is a generic term and can refer to either an Angle of Attack or an Angle of Defense.

An Angle of Execution can be aided by using Contouring.

Typically, an Angle of Execution tries to produce the maximum desired effect at the Point of Contact.

Example(s):

A straight punch to the opponent's body demonstrates an offensive Angle of Execution (Angle of Attack).

A right inward block to the outside of an opponent's arm, above the elbow, demonstrates a defensive Angle of Execution (Angle of Defense).

Opposite(s):

Angle of Deviation
