An idiom used to describe an offensive maneuver or method that takes a multi-angular entry to the intended focal point.

Comments:

This term can be used in a general context of the whole body (e.g. foot maneuvers), or in the context of an isolated offensive maneuver (e.g. strike).

Although this term commonly describes an offensive maneuver that changes angles while being actively employed, that is not a requirement. For instance, the maneuver can give the appearance of intending to travel on a specific angle, but then change to a new angle upon delivery.

This term is closely associated with the more general terms Directional Change and Close the Gap.

The goal is to implement this method without disrupting the Flow of Action of the maneuver(s) - unless the disruption is purposeful (potentially as a Strategic Ploy).

See Diversified Angle of for more information.

Diversified Angle of Retraction, Diversified Angle of Retreat
