Third Person

Defense

•Point of Reference (form): front flank (1:30 / 10:30)

•Point of Reference (stance): front (12:00)

•Point of Reference (maneuver): front (12:00)

•it demonstrates only linear motions

•it demonstrates a Zone of Action outside the arm (and potentially inside the arm)

•it demonstrates a defenses against a single attack (in-flight major)

•it demonstrates simultaneous major offensive maneuvers (poke + kick)

•it demonstrates 1-in-1 (defensive) / 2-in-1 (offensive) timings

•it demonstrates both sides of the sequence

•it demonstrates stepping backward (but not through)

•it demonstrates elementary timing

•it demonstrates elementary maneuvers

•it utilizes only long range weapons

•it utilizes open weapon with partially open weapon (simultaneously)

•it demonstrates an initial stance shift 45-degrees

•it demonstrates no shift of focus

•it utilizes the cat stance

•it utilizes both the top and bottom weapon of the same side

Offense

•Point of Reference (form): rear flank (7:30 / 4:30)

•it demonstrates a defense against a single elementary attack (punch)

•it demonstrates a defense against a not fully defined attack (punch - push - attempted grab)
