•Point of Reference (fixed): left rear flank (4:30) - right front flank (1:30)

•Focal Point (fluid - primary): front (12;00)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fixed) Focal Point 90-degrees (to flank) (4:30 / 10:30 / 1:30) and 180-degrees (to rear) (1:30)

•it demonstrates a shift of (fluid) Focal Point 90-degrees (to flank) (3:00 / 9:00) and 180-degrees (to rear) (6:00)

•it demonstrates a shift in both stance and Focal Point

•it demonstrates redirecting in-flight aggressions

•it demonstrates offense with multiple weapons (closed-partially open)

•it demonstrates offense with both upper and lower limbs (offset timing)

•it demonstrates the use of two (2) weapons simultaneously

•it demonstrates grabbing (a degree of) and pulling (simultaneously with offensive)

•it demonstrates Purposeful Deflection (followed by Purposeful Aggression)

•it demonstrates Purposeful Manipulation (with both the upper and lower limbs)

•it demonstrates a foot maneuver using distance without rotation and distance with rotation
