An idiom referring to the principle that all moves traveling from one position to the another should be executed with maximum effectiveness.

Comments:

Continuity essentially means that each movement should be done as to produce the optimal results for the given situation.

Continuity describes the effective use of movement, and is somewhat related to the principle of Economy of Motion.

Continuity should be used to enhance the Flow of Action, promote Fluid Movement, and maximize results of movement, while simultaneously eliminating Dead Space and Wasted Motion.

Continuity also takes into consideration the borrowing of force from one move to enhance the effectiveness of (a) subsequent move(s).

Continuity differs from Economy of Motion in that Continuity takes into consideration offensive and defensive sophistication and compounding.

Continuity differs from Sequential Flow in that Continuity deals with a narrower view - primarily with the effectiveness and flow of a single move.

Examples of using one move to enhance another include:

a.Rebounding

b.Elastic Recoil

c.Ricocheting

d.Bouncing

e.Diversified Angle of Retraction

Example(s):

Striking a minor target on the opponent as one cocks their weapon across their center-line, would demonstrate Continuity (as well as Sophistication of movement).

Opposite(s):

Dead Space, False Travel, Scenic Route, Wasted Motion
