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

An Angle of Incidence differs from an Angle of Contact in that an Angle of Contact is more generic and can refer to contact made from offensive or defensive moves.

An Angle of Incidence is produced by an Angle of Execution.

An Angle of Incidence follows an Angle of Entry and precedes (optionally) and Angle of Retraction.
